Beautify 3 (Built-in) · Troubleshooting & FAQ

Solutions to the most common issues when using Beautify 3 with the Built-in Render Pipeline.

Common Issues

SymptomCauseSolution
No visible effect Beautify script not added to camera, or all effects set to zero Ensure the Beautify component is on your active camera. Try selecting a preset (e.g., Medium) to apply default values.
Effects only visible in Scene view, not Game view Beautify is on the wrong camera Make sure Beautify is attached to the camera tagged as MainCamera or the camera rendering to screen.
Depth of Field not working Depth texture not available Ensure the camera has Depth Texture Mode enabled. Beautify should enable it automatically, but verify in the Inspector.
Bloom looks burned/saturated Bloom threshold too low or intensity too high Increase Bloom Threshold to limit which pixels bloom. Reduce Bloom Intensity for a subtler effect.
Banding artifacts on skybox Low color precision in gradient areas Enable Dither in Beautify settings. Use Linear color space for best results.
Build takes very long All shader variants being compiled Open Shader Options and disable features you don't use. This dramatically reduces shader variants and build time.
Shader errors on consoles Platform-specific shader incompatibilities Check the FAQ for console-specific fixes. Contact support if the issue persists.
UI affected by post-processing UI rendered on the same camera Use a separate UI camera with a higher depth value and Clear Flags set to Depth Only. Don't add Beautify to the UI camera.
Performance drops on mobile Too many effects enabled at full quality Switch to Best Performance mode. See Performance Tips for detailed optimization guidance.
Conflicts with other post-processing effects Execution order or rendering conflicts Adjust script execution order (Edit > Project Settings > Script Execution Order) to ensure Beautify runs after other effects.
