You can customise and control how each effect in Blur Shaders Pro works using scripting. The process is slightly different betwene each of the three pipelines. This page will provide a bare-bones explanation of how to modify effects in each pipeline, including the namespaces you will need to use and the classes you need to access to change properties of an effect.

✨ Universal Render Pipeline (URP)

URP currently uses the Renderer Features system for custom post-processing effects. Each effect is compatible with the URP Volume system, so we use that API (in the UnityEngine.Rendering namespace) to access individual effects. In this example, we will modify the blur size of a Blur effect. Attach this script to any object and drag the volume you wish to modify onto the volume field.

Note: in URP, unlike the other pipelines, the name of each effect class has ‘Settings’ appended, e.g. the Blur effect is accessed through the BlurSettings class.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering;

public class ExampleScriptURP : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Volume volume;

    private void Start()
    {
        // Get a reference to the specific effect you want here.
        BlurSettings blurEffect = null;
        if(volume.profile.TryGet(out blurEffect))
        {
            // Change any settings you want on the effect here.
            blurEffect.strength.value = 50;
            blurEffect.blurStepSize.value = 2;
        }
    }
}

✨ High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP)

HDRP supports custom post processes out of the box. These effects use the HDRP Volume system, which we interact with to modify effects. In this example, we will modify the Blur effect by changing the strength and blurStepSize properties.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering;

public class ExampleScriptHDRP : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Volume volume;

    private void Start()
    {
        // Get a reference to the specific effect you want here.
        Blur blurEffect = null;
        if (volume.profile.TryGet(out blurEffect))
        {
            // Change any settings you want on the effect here.
            blurEffect.strength.value = 50;
            blurEffect.blurStepSize.value = 2;
        }
    }
}

✨ Built-in Render Pipeline

The built-in render pipeline uses the Post Processing Stack v2 system. We interface with the systems included in the UnityEngine.Rendering.PostProcessing namespace. In this example, we will access a RadialBlur effect attached to a profile which is being used on a volume, then tweak the strength and stepSize variables. Attach this script to any object and drag the volume you wish to modify onto the volume field.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering.PostProcessing;

public class ExampleScriptBuiltIn : MonoBehaviour
{
    public PostProcessVolume volume;

    private void Start()
    {
        // Get a reference to the specific effect you want here.
        RadialBlur radialBlurEffect = null;
        if(volume.profile.TryGetSettings(out radialBlurEffect))
        {
            // Change any settings you want on the effect here.
            radialBlurEffect.strength.value = 50;
            radialBlurEffect.stepSize.value = 2;
        }
    }
}
