Why are Screen Space Reflections Unique?

Objective: Set up Screen Space Reflections to show why they are Unique.

To understand how screen space reflections are unique, we will set up the scene to show it. To start we will create a reflection Probe. Do this by going into the Hierarchy right clicking and go to lights → Reflection Probe.

Set the Type to realtime.

Next set the area of the box to cover the area we are working in.

We can see how the reflection probe is reflecting things onto the walls.

We should make sure our “Use Influence Volume” is checked.

Now to Introduce Screen Space reflections. We will go to our DefaultHDRPAsset and turn on Screen Space Reflection.

Another way of doing this is to go to Edit →Project Settings → Quality → HDRP.

You will have to turn on Screen Space Reflections for all four of the assets. If you don’t you will get this error in your Volume when adding the override.

If done correctly, it’ll look like this.

With all enabled, just playing with the settings will help get the look you are going for.

This will help get a better reflection look other than if it was just the probe.

Thank you for reading and have a wonderful day!
