/*
Basic Sprite Shader for aligning pixel art to the same grid, based on the Unity Sprite Shader.
Create one Material where you assign the same Pixels Per Unit value you use on your imported Sprites,
then reuse this Material on all appropriate Sprite Renderers.
(You can use Shader.SetGlobalFloat to set that Pixels Per Unit value for all your shaders:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Shader.SetGlobalFloat.html)
This is not for scaled or rotated artwork. If you need those features, look at low res render textures.
Use this however you want.

"(As far as I know there's no possiblity to get this value automatically.)"

You can use Unity - Scripting API: Shader.SetGlobalFloat
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Shader.SetGlobalFloat.html

It sets a float shared by all shaders at the same time.

Is there a URP version of this? I'd love to be able to use this with the 2D lights
