## What it is
A AAA playable first-person demo project from Unity showcasing visual effects built with Visual Effect Graph and rendered with the High Definition Render Pipeline. It is a sample Unity project intended for learning and demonstrating real-time rendering and VFX techniques.

## Use cases
- learn how to build GPU visual effects with Unity Visual Effect Graph
- study a AAA-quality first-person Unity project using HDRP
- explore real-time particle and shader effects in Unity
- use as a reference project for high-fidelity rendering in Unity
- benchmark HDRP rendering performance in a playable demo

## When to choose
- you work with Unity and want a production-quality example of Visual Effect Graph and HDRP
- you want to study AAA VFX and rendering techniques in a complete playable project
- you need a reference for structuring a large Unity project

## When to avoid
- you do not use Unity or the High Definition Render Pipeline
- you need a reusable library or component rather than a full demo project
- you cannot meet the Unity 2022.2.6f1+ and Git LFS requirements
