Availability

Since v2.0 we have been providing the plugin only with contract support to all available platform. For more information

Since 2.8.X, this new version uses Unity’s package system and is compatible with HDRP, URP and the default rendering pipeline. All rendering features available in the PopcornFX editor are not working with this plugin yet.

However we will release a free public version of the plugin. It will be experimental and only support Windows. We will not be able to provide free support this release. Be aware that this is not meant to be used in production without a specific support contract where we would be able to help you with potential issues / platform compatibility.
