[URP][Comp] Texture is stored upside down when using Blit

-

How to reproduce:
1. Open the “IN-74459_repro“ project
2. Open the “SampleScene“
3. Enter Play Mode and exit Play Mode
4. Navigate to Assets → Shaders and select “DebugRenderTexture“
5. In the Inspector window, observe the preview

Expected result: The texture is right side up
Actual result: The texture is upside down

Reproducible with: 2021.3.38f1, 2022.3.27f1, 6000.0.0f1

Reproducible on: Windows 10, Windows 11 (user’s device)
Not reproducible on: No other environment tested

  1. Resolution Note:

    Hi, we have looked into the case and analyzed the frame. The debug blit pass copied CustomRenderTexture to DebugRenderTexture. And the CustomRenderTexture is generated by rendering the scene in a pass called "Render Scene With RTHandle".
    The graphics API used in the project is DX11.

    Unity handles render texture coordinates in a Gfx API dependent way. For DX11 like API, the coordinate is 0 at the top and increases downward as described in https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/SL-PlatformDifferences.html
    So the "upside down" is unfortunately by-design according to that spec. We understand this is confusing but this is currently the Unity way to handle this.

    Removing yflip is something we discuss but it is a breaking change that won't be considered for a bug-fix.
    Work around is to add "yflip" logic in a custom blit shader if project has to write to a render texture not flipped. The potential issue with that approach is that other part of the system may flip uv before sampling the texture in shader which will not be compatible with a not flipped texture(all of this is DX11 like API only issue).
