Description

Path tracing has became more and more accessible for gamers and Unity engine, and certain anime games have supported path tracing, such as NTE (although made with Unreal). Currently UTS doesnt work with path tracing in Unity 6.3, materials are just in black. It would be great to support path tracing, which can be an example for anyone who wants to achieve advanced rendering in anime style.
