-Note the `CocoKeypointTemplate` asset that is already assigned as the `Active Template`. This template will tell the labeler how to map default Unity rig joints to human joint labels in the popular COCO dataset so that the output of the labeler can be easily converted to COCO format. Later in this tutorial, we will learn how to add more joints to our character and how to customize joint mapping templates.

 - Semantic segmentation images (if the `SemanticSegmentationLabeler` is added and active on `Perception Camera`)
 
 The output dataset includes a variety of information about different aspects of the active sensors in the Scene (currently only one), as well as the ground-truth generated by all active Labelers. [This page](https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/com.unity.perception/blob/master/com.unity.perception/Documentation%7E/Schema/Synthetic_Dataset_Schema.md) provides a comprehensive explanation on the schema of this dataset. We strongly recommend having a look at the page once you have completed this tutorial.
+
+> :information_source: Are the RGB images blank? This may be a bug. When using URP in OSX, having MSAA enabled on the camera may cause the output RGB images to be blank. As a workaround, you can disable MSAA and use FXAA instead, until the issue is fixed. To do this, select `Main Camera`, and in the ***Inspector*** view of the Camera component, in the ***Output*** section, set MSAA to `Off`. If you would like to use FXAA, in the ***Rendering*** section, set the Anti-aliasing option to `Fast Approximate Anti-aliasing (FXAA)`.
 
 * **:green_circle: Action**: To get a quick feel of how the data is stored, open the folder whose name starts with `Dataset`, then open the file named `captures_000.json`.

The `captures` array contains the position and rotation of the sensor (camera), the position and rotation of the ego (sensor group, currently only one), and the annotations made by `BoundingBox2DLabeler` for all visible objects defined in its label configuration. For each visible object, the annotations include:
 * `label_id`: The numerical id assigned to this object's label in the Labeler's label configuration

 The purpose of this piece of code is to obtain a random float Parameter and assign it to the light's `Intensity` field on the start of every Iteration. Let's go through the code above and understand each part. The `FloatParameter` field makes it possible for us to define a randomized float Parameter and modify its properties from the editor UI, similar to how we already modified the properties for the previous Randomizers we used. 
 
-> :information_source: If you look at the _**Console**_ tab of the editor now, you will see an error regarding `MyLightRandomizerTag` not being found. This is to be expected, since we have not yet created this class; the error will go away once we create the class later.
-
-If you return to your list of Randomizers in the _**Inspector**_ view of `SimulationScenario`, you can now add this new Randomizer.
-
-* **:green_circle: Action**: Add `MyLightRandomizer` to the list of Randomizers in `SimulationScenario`.
-
-You will notice that the Randomizer's UI snippet contains one Parameter named `Light Intensity Parameter`. This is the same Parameter we added in the code block above. Here, you can set the sampling distribution (`Value`) and `Range` for this float Parameter:
-
-<p align="center">
-<img src="Images/light_rand_1.png" width="420"/>
-</p>
-
-
-* **:green_circle: Action**:  In the UI snippet for `MyLightRandomzier`, set the minimum and maximum for range to **0.5** and **3**.
-
-This range of intensities is arbitrary but will give us a typically nice lighting without excessive darkness or burnt-out highlights.

 The `MyLightRandomizer` class extends `Randomizer`, which is the base class for all Randomizers that can be added to a Scenario. This base class provides a plethora of useful functions and properties that can help catalyze the process of creating new Randomizers.
 
 Yes, a RandomizerTag can be this simple if you just need it for helping Randomizers query for target objects. Later, you will learn how to add code here to encapsulate more data and logic within the randomized objects. 
 
 Notice there is a `RequireComponent(typeof(Light))` line at the top. This line makes it so that you can only add the `MyLightRandomizerTag` component to an object that already has a `Light` component attached. This way, the Randomizers that query for this tag can be confident that the found tags are attached to GameObjects that also have a `Light` component, and can thus be Randomized.
+
+If you return to your list of Randomizers in the _**Inspector**_ view of `SimulationScenario`, you can now add the new Randomizer we created here.

+It is now time to add the tag we created earlier to the light in our Scene, so that the Randomizer can find it.
 
 * **:green_circle: Action**: Select `Directional Light` in the Scene's _**Hierarchy**_, and in the _**Inspector**_ tab, add a `My Light Randomizer Tag` component.
 * **:green_circle: Action**: Run the simulation again and inspect how `Directional Light` now switches between different intensities. You can pause the simulation and then use the step button (to the right of the pause button) to move the simulation one frame forward and clearly see the varying light intensity

+
+## <a name="labeling">Labeling</a> 
+
+
+<details>
+  <summary><strong>Q: How can I disable or enable labeling on an object at runtime?</strong></summary>
+<br>
+  
+ You can turn labeling on and off on a GameObject by switching the enabled state of its `Labeling` component. For example:
+
+  ```C#
+  gameObject.GetComponent<Labeling>().enabled = false;  
+  ```
+ 
+---
+
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+  <summary><strong>Q: How can I remove or add new labels to objects at runtime?</strong></summary><br>
+
+This can be achieved through modifying the `labels` list of the `Labeling` component. The key is to call `RefreshLabeling()` on the component after making any changes to the labels. Example:
+
+```C#
+var labeling = gameObject.GetComponent<Labeling>();
+labeling.labels.Clear();
+labeling.labels.Add("new-label");
+labeling.RefreshLabeling();
+```
+Keep in mind that any new label added with this method should already be present in the Label Config attached to the Labeler that is supposed to label this object.
+
+---
+</details>
+
+<details>
+  <summary><strong>Q: Is it possible to label only parts of an object or assign different labels to different parts of objects?</strong></summary><br>
+
+  Labeling works on the GameObject level, so to achieve the scenarios described here, you will need to break down your main object into multiple GameObjects parented to the same root object, and add `Labeling` components to each of the inner objects, as shown below.
+
+<p align="center">
+<img src="images/inner_objects.png" width="800"/>
+</p>
+  
+  Alternatively, in cases where parts of the surface of the object need to be labeled (e.g. decals on objects), you can add labeled invisible surfaces on top of these sections. These invisible surfaces need to have a fully transparent material. To create an invisible material:
+
+  * Create a new material (***Assets -> Create -> Material***) and name it `TransparentMaterial`
+  * Set the **Surface Type** for the material to **Transparent**, and set the alpha channel of the **Base Map** color to 0.
+    * For HDRP: In addition to the above, disable **Preserve specular lighting** 
+   
+  An example labeled output for an object with separate labels on inner objects and decals is shown below:
+
+<p align="center">
+<img src="images/inner_labels.gif" width="600"/>
+</p> 
+
+---
+</details>
+
+<details>
+  <summary><strong>Q: When visible surfaces of two objects are fully aligned, the bounding boxes seem to blink in and out of existence from one frame to another. Why is that?</strong></summary><br>
+
+This is due to a common graphics problem called *z-fighting*. This occurs when the shader can't decide which of the two surfaces to draw on top of the other, since they both have the exact same distance from the camera. To fix this, simply move one of the objects slightly so that the two problematic surfaces do not fully align.

+
+## <a name="randomization">Randomization</a>
+
+<details>
+  <summary><strong>Q: How can I have multiple sets of prefabs in a foreground placement Randomizer, and on every Iteration select one from each set?</strong>
+  </summary><br>
+
+  This question is an example of more complex functionality that can be achieved by applying slight modifications to the provided sample Randomizers, or by creating completely custom ones by extending the `Randomizer` class. 
+
+  Here, we have a variety of options toward achieving the described outcome. One simple method could be to add several more `GameObjectParameter` fields inside of the provided sample `ForegroundObjectPlacementRandomizer`. Each of these Parameters could hold one of our object lists. Then, on each iteration, we would fetch one prefab from each of the lists using the `Sample()` function of each Parameter. 
+  
+  The above solution can work but it is not modular enough, with the lists of prefabs not being reusable in other Randomizers.
+
+  A better approach can be to define each prefab list separately as a scriptable object asset, and then just reference those scriptable objects inside of our foreground Randomizer. To do this, we first define a `PrefabCluster` class to hold a list of prefabs.
+
+  ```C#
+  using UnityEngine;
+  using UnityEngine.Perception.Randomization.Parameters;
+
+  [CreateAssetMenu(fileName="NewPrefabCluster", menuName="Test/PrefabCluster")]
+  public class PrefabCluster : ScriptableObject
+  {
+      public GameObjectParameter clusterPrefabs;
+  }
+  ```
+
+  We can now create a cluster asset using the ***Assets -> Create -> Test -> PrefabCluster*** menu option and populate its list of prefabs. Each cluster contains one `GameObjectParameter`, which will hold the list of prefabs and provide us with a `Sample()` function.
+
+  To be able to edit these clusters with the same editor UI available for Randomizers, you will also need to add an empty custom editor for the `PrefabCluster` class that extends our bespoke `ParameterUIElementsEditor` class:
+
+  ```C#
+  using UnityEditor;
+  using UnityEditor.Perception.Randomization;
+
+  [CustomEditor(typeof(PrefabCluster))]
+  public class PrefabClusterEditor : ParameterUIElementsEditor { }
+  ```
+
+  Note that any editor scripts must be placed inside a folder named "Editor" within your project. "Editor" is a special folder name in Unity that prevents editor code from compiling into a player during the build process. For example, the file path for the `PrefabClusterEditor` script above could be `.../Assets/Scripts/Editor/PrefabClusterEditor`.
+
+  The ***Inspector*** view of a prefab cluster asset looks like below:
+
+  <p align="center">
+<img src="images/prefab_cluster.png" width="400"/>
+</p>  
+
+  Now all that is left is to use our prefab clusters inside a Randomizer. Here is some sample code:
+
+  ```C#
+  using System;
+using UnityEngine;
+
+[Serializable]
+[UnityEngine.Perception.Randomization.Randomizers.AddRandomizerMenu("My Randomizers/Cluster Randomizer")]
+public class ClusterRandomizer : UnityEngine.Perception.Randomization.Randomizers.Randomizer
+{
+    public PrefabCluster[] clusters;
+    protected override void OnIterationStart()
+    {
+        //select a random prefab from each cluster
+        foreach (var cluster in clusters)
+        {
+            var prefab = cluster.clusterPrefabs.Sample();
+            //do things with this prefab, e.g. create instances of it, etc. 
+        }
+    }
+}
+  ```
+This Randomizer takes a list of `PrefabCluster` assets, then, on each Iteration, it goes through all the provided clusters and samples one prefab from each. The ***Inspector*** view for this Randomizer looks like this:

+  <summary><strong>Q: How can I specify an exact number of objects to place using the sample foreground object placement Randomizer?</strong> </summary><br>
+
+The provided `ForegroundObjectPlacementRandomizer` uses Poisson Disk sampling to find randomly positioned points in the space denoted by the provided `Width` and `Height` values. The lower bound on the distance between the sampled points will be `Separation Distance`. The number of sampled points will be the maximum number of points in the given area that match these criteria.
+
+Thus, to limit the number of spawned objects, you can simply introduce a hard limit in the `for` loop that iterates over the Poisson Disk samples, to break out of the loop if the limit is reached. Additionally, we will need to shuffle the list of points retrieved from the Poisson Disk sampling in order to remove any selection bias when building our subset of points. This is because Poisson Disk points are sampled in sequence and relative to the points already sampled, therefore, the initial points in the list are likely to be closer to each other. We will use a `FloatParameter` to perform this shuffle, so that we can guarantee that our simulation is deterministic and reproducible.
+```C#
+FloatParameter m_IndexShuffleParameter = new FloatParameter { value = new UniformSampler(0, 1) };
+
+protected override void OnIterationStart()
+{
+    var seed = SamplerState.NextRandomState();
+    var placementSamples = PoissonDiskSampling.GenerateSamples(
+        placementArea.x, placementArea.y, separationDistance, seed);
+    var offset = new Vector3(placementArea.x, placementArea.y, 0f) * -0.5f;
+
+    //shuffle retrieved points
+    var indexes = Enumerable.Range(0, placementSamples.Length).ToList();
+    indexes = indexes.OrderBy(item => m_IndexShuffleParameter.Sample()).ToList();
+
+    //maximum number of objects to place
+    var limit = 50;
+
+    var instantiatedCount = 0;
+    //iterate over all points
+    foreach (var index in indexes)
+    {
+        instantiatedCount ++;
+
+        if (instantiatedCount == limit)
+            break;
+
+        var instance = m_GameObjectOneWayCache.GetOrInstantiate(prefabs.Sample());
+        instance.transform.position = new Vector3(placementSamples[index].x, placementSamples[index].y, depth) + offset;
+    }
+    placementSamples.Dispose();
+}
+```
+
+This will guarantee an upper limit of 50 on the number of objects. To have exactly 50 objects, we need to make sure the `Separation Distance` is small enough for the given area, so that there are always at least 50 point samples found. Experiment with different values for the distance until you find one that produces the minimum number of points required.

+  <summary><strong>Q: How can I avoid object overlap with the sample foreground object placement Randomizer?</strong></summary><br>
+
+  There are a number of ways for procedurally placing objects while avoiding any overlap between them, and most of these methods can be rather complex and need to place objects in a sequence. All the modifications to the objects (like scale, rotation, etc.) would also need to happen before the next object is placed, so that the state of the world is fully known before each placement.
+
+  Here, we are going to introduce a rather simple modification in the sample foreground placement code provided with the package. In each Iteration, a random scale factor is chosen, and then a desirable separation distance is calculated based on this scale factor and the list of given prefabs. We also scale the objects here to introduce additional randomization, due to the fact that once we have placed the objects we can no longer scale them.
+  
+  Based on the value given for `Non Overlap Guarantee`, this Randomizer can either reduce the amount of overlap or completely remove overlap.

+  <summary><strong>Q: What if I don't want randomized object placement? Can I move my objects in a non-randomized deterministic manner on each frame?</strong> </summary><br>
+
+Even though we call them Randomizers, you can use a Randomizer to perform any task through-out the execution lifecycle of your Scenario. The power of the Randomizers comes from the lifecycle hooks that they have into the Iteration and the Scenario, making it easy to know and guarantee when and in which order in the life of your simulation each piece of code runs. These functions include:
+* `OnEnable`
+* `OnAwake`
+* `OnUpdate`
+* `OnIterationStart`
+* `OnIterationEnd`
+* `OnScenarioStart`
+* `OnScenarioComplete`
+* `OnDisable`
+
+So, in order to have deliberate non-random object movement, you will just need to put your object movement code inside of one of the recurrent lifecycle functions. `OnUpdate()` runs on every frame of the simulation, and `OnIterationStart()` runs every Iteration (which can be the same as each frame if you have only 1 frame per Iteration of your Scenario). For example, the code below moves all objects tagged with the component `ForwardMoverTag` along their forward axis by 1 unit, on every Iteration. 
+
+```C#
+protected override void OnIterationStart()
+{
+    var tags = tagManager.Query<ForwardMoverTag>();
+    foreach (var tag in tags)
+    {
+        tag.transform.Translate(Vector3.forward);
+    }
+}
+```
+Additionally, keep in mind that you can use Perception Samplers (and therefore Parameters) to generate constant values, not just random ones. The `ConstantSampler` class provides this functionality.

+  <summary><strong>Q: The objects instantiated using the sample foreground placement Randomizer are floating in the air. How can I use this Randomizer to place objects on a horizontal surface instead?</strong> </summary><br>
+
+The objects instantiated by the sample foreground Randomizer are all parented to an object named `Foreground Objects` at the root of the Scene Hierarchy. To modify the orientation of the objects, you can simply rotate this parent object at the beginning of the Scenario. 
+
+Alternatively, you could also place `Foreground Objects` inside another GameObject in the Scene using the `Transform.SetParent()` method, and then modify the local position and rotation of `Foreground Objects` in such a way that makes the objects appear on the surface of the parent GameObject. 
+
+In addition, if you'd like to have horizontal placement without touching the parent object, you can modify the Randomizer's code to place objects horizontally instead of vertically. The lines responsible for placement are:
+```C#
+var offset = new Vector3(placementArea.x, placementArea.y, 0) * -0.5f;        
+```
+```C#
+instance.transform.position = new Vector3(sample.x, sample.y, depth) + offset;
+```
+
+The first line builds an offset vector that is later used to center the points retrieved from Poisson Disk sampling around the center of the coordinate system. The second line is executed in a loop, and each time, places one object at one of the sampled points at the depth (along Z axis) provided by the user.
+
+To make this placement horizontal, you would just need to change these two lines to swap Y for Z. The resulting lines would be:
+
+```C#
+var offset = new Vector3(placementArea.x, 0, placementArea.y) * -0.5f;        
+```
+```C#
+instance.transform.position = new Vector3(sample.x, depth, sample.y) + offset;
+```
+
+Note that the variable `depth` is in fact playing the role of a height variable now.
+
+Finally, to achieve more natural placement, you could also use Unity's physics engine to drop the objects on a surface, let them settle, and then capture an image. To achieve this, you would just need to have sufficient frames in each Iteration of the Scenario (instead of the default 1 frame per iteration), and set your Perception Camera's capture interval to a large enough number that would make it capture each Iteration once after the objects have settled. This example is explained in more detail in the [Perception Camera](#perception-camera) section of this FAQ.

+  <summary><strong>Q: Does using the same Random Seed value in two runs of the same Scenario guarantee that the generated datasets are identical?</strong></summary><br>
+
+ If you only use the Samplers (and Parameters, which internally use Samplers) provided in the Perception package to generate random values throughout the Scenario's lifecycle and keep the `Random Seed` value unchanged, an identical sequence of random numbers will be generated every time the Scenario is run. This is because the Samplers obtain their seeds through continually mutating the provided global `Random Seed` in the Scenario.  
+
+ Keep in mind that any change in the order of sampling or the number of samples obtained can lead to different outcomes. For example, if you change the order of Randomizers in the Scenario, the Samplers inside of these Randomizers will now execute in the new order, and thus, they will operate based on different seeds than before and generate different numbers. The same can happen if you add additional calls to a Sampler inside a Randomizer, causing the Samplers in later Randomizers to now use different seeds, since the global seed has been mutated more times than before.
+
+ One more thing to keep in mind is that certain systems and components of Unity are not deterministic and can produce different outcomes in consecutive runs. Examples of this are the physics engine and the film grain post processing. Hence, if you need to guarantee that your simulation always produces the exact same dataset, make sure to research the various systems that you use to make sure they behave deterministically.

+  <summary><strong>Q: What is the relationship between the Scenario's lifecycle properties (Iterations and Frames per Iteration) and the Perception Camera's timing properties (Simulation Delta Time, Start at Frame, and Frames Between Captures)?</strong> </summary><br>
+
+Each Iteration of the Scenario resets the Perception Camera's timing variables. Thus, you can think of each Iteration of the Scenario as one separate Perception Camera sequence, in which the camera's internal timing properties come into play. For instance, if you have 10 `Frames Per Iteration` on your Scenario, and your Perception Camera's `Start at Frame` value is set to 8, you will get two captures from the camera at the 9th and 10th frames of each Iteration (note that `Start at Frame` starts from 0). Similarly, you can use the `Frames Between Captures` to introduce intervals between captures. A value of 0 leads to all frames being captured.
+
+---
+</details>
+
+<details>
+  <summary><strong>Q: I want to simulate physics (or other accumulative behaviors such as auto-exposure) for a number of frames and let things settle before capturing the Scene. Is this possible with the Perception package?</strong></summary><br>
+
+Yes. The Perception Camera can be set to capture at specific frame intervals, rather than every frame. The `Frames Between Captures` value is set to 0 by default, which causes the camera to capture all frames; however, you can change this to 1 to capture every other frame, or larger numbers to allow more time between captures. You can also have the camera start capturing at a certain frame rather than the first frame, by setting the `Start at Frame` value to a value other than 0. All of this timing happens within each Iteration of the Scenario, and gets reset when you advance to the next Iteration. Therefore, the combination of these properties and the Scenario's `Frames Per Iteration` property allows you to randomize the state of your Scene at the start of each Iteration, let things run for a number of frames, and then capture the Scene at the end of the Iteration.
+
+Suppose we need to drop a few objects into the Scene, let them interact physically and settle after a number of frames, and then capture their final state once. Afterwards, we want to repeat this cycle by randomizing the initial positions of the objects, dropping them, and capturing the final state again. We will set the Scenario's `Frames Per Iteration` to 300, which should be sufficient for the objects to get close to a settled position (this depends on the value you use for `Simulation Delta Time` in Perception Camera and the physical properties of the engine and objects, and can be found through experimentation). We also set the `Start at Frame` value of the Perception Camera to 290, and the `Frames Between Captures` to a sufficiently large number (like 100), so that we only get one capture per Iteration of the Scenario. The results look like below. Note how the bounding boxes only appear after the objects are fairly settled. These are the timestamps at which captures are happening.

+
+Yes. The Perception Camera offers two trigger modes, `Scheduled` and `Manual`, and these can be chosen in the editor UI for the Perception Camera component. If you select the `Manual` mode, you will be able to trigger captures by calling the `RequestCapture()` method of `PerceptionCamera`. In this mode, you have the option to not have this camera dictate your simulation delta time. This is controlled using the `Affect Simulation Timing` checkbox.

+
+However, the package does support having more than one Perception Camera in the Scene, as long as only one is active when the simulation starts. Therefore, one possible workaround, if your simulation is fully deterministic from one run to the next, would be to run the simulation more than once, each time with one of the cameras active. While not ideal, this will at least let you generate matching datasets.

+</summary><br>
+
+This is a common issue with rendering graphics into raster images (digital images), when the resolution of the raster is not high enough to perfectly display slanting lines. The common solution to this issue is the use of anti-aliasing methods, and Unity offers a number of these in both URP and HDRP. To experiment with anti-aliasing, go to the ***Inspector*** view of your Perception Camera object and in the Camera component, change `Anti-aliasing` from `None` to another option.

+  <summary><strong>Q: I am using an HDRP Unity project with Perception and my images have significant blurring around most objects. How can I remove this blur?</strong>
+</summary><br>
+
+The effect you are observing here is motion blur, which happens because the placement Randomizers used in the Perception tutorial cache their instantiated objects from one Iteration to the next, and move them to new locations on each Iteration instead of destroying them and creating new ones. This "motion" of the objects causes the motion blur effect to kick in. 
+
+
+HDRP projects have motion blur and a number of other post processing effects enabled by default. To disable motion blur or any other effect, follow these steps:
+1. Create an empty GameObject in your Scene and add a Volume component to it.
+2. Set the Volume's profile to the **Volume Global** asset.
+3. Uncheck the **Motion Blur** option.

+  <summary><strong>Q: Are all post processing effects provided by Unity safe to use in synthetic datasets?</strong>
+</summary><br>
+
+No. When using post processing effects, you need to be careful about issues regarding randomness and determinism:
+
+  * There are certain post processing effects that need randomization internally, e.g. film grain. The film grain effect provided by Unity is not sufficiently randomized for model training and can thus mislead your CV model to look for a specific noise pattern during prediction. 
+  * Even if such an effect is properly randomized, using a randomized effect would make your overall randomization strategy non-deterministic, meaning you would not be able to reproduce your datasets. This is because the effect would internally use random number generators outside of the Samplers provided by the Perception package. If you have access to the source code for a randomized effect, you can modify it to only use Perception Samplers for random number generation, which would make its behavior deterministic and thus appropriate for use in synthetic datasets that need to be reproducible.
+
+To make sure you do not run into insufficient randomization or non-determinism, it would be best to implement effects such as film grain yourself or modify existing code to make sure no random number generators are used except for the Samplers provided in the Perception package.

This will help identify the types of environments and randomizations that work best for each specific use-case. The beauty of synthetic data is that you can try these experiments fairly quickly.

+  <summary><strong>Q: Can I have more realistic rendering in my Scene?</strong>
+</summary><br>
+
+A project's lighting configuration typically has the greatest influence over the final rendered output over any other simulation property. Unity has many lighting options, each of which is designed as a different trade-off between performance and realism/capability. The 3 most pertinent options that you will likely be interested in are:
+
+* URP baked lighting: The Universal Render Pipeline offers the most performant lighting configurations by using an offline baking process to generate realistic bounce lighting within a static scene and then using simple shadow mapped dynamic lights in conjunctions with light probes to make dynamic (or randomized) objects "fit" into the baked scene. This option provides high performance, but lacks the visual fidelity needed for interior environments and is geared toward more outdoor-like settings. Also, depending on scene randomization complexity, light baking might not be the best option. Randomly generated scenes will often place objects and adjust lighting in ways that make the new scene incompatible with the original baked lighting configuration.
+
+* HDRP lighting: A default HDRP scene offers a step toward more realistic environments with a much larger array of lighting settings (soft shadows, multiple dynamic lights, etc.) and a host of additional real-time effects like camera exposure and screen space ambient occlusion. A warning though: real time screen space effects may make your scene "look better", but the way these effects are calculated is not based on how light works in the real world, so realism may vary. Another huge advantage of HDRP is the potential to have moderately realistic lighting without baking your lighting configuration (though you can integrate light baking if you want to). However, there is no real-time global illumination option in default HDRP, meaning that your scene will not simulate complex real world light behavior such as light bouncing, light bleeding, or realistic shadows for dynamic scenes. This can result in unrealistically dark scenes when only using directional lights and windows (without extra interior lights to brighten things up). Overall though, HDRP offers a good compromise between performance and realism for some use cases.
+
+* HDRP DXR (DirectX Raytracing): Unity offers some preview ray tracing features in its latest editor versions that can be used to drastically improve the realism of your scene. Here are the pros and cons of DXR:
+  * Pros:
+    * Can simulate more realistic light behaviors (light bouncing, light color bleeding, and realistic shadows)
+    * No light baking required
+  * Cons:
+    * Requires special hardware to run (Nvidia RTX graphics cards)
+    * Time consuming to render (relative to default HDRP). Some lighting options (Global Illumination) are less expensive than others (Path Tracing).
+    * More complicated to configure
+    * These features are still in preview and subject to change
+ 
+A visual comparison of the different lighting configurations in HDRP is shown below. The Scene includes one directional light and one dim point light on the ceiling.
+
+Default HDRP:
+
+<p align="center">
+<img src="images/hdrp.png" width="700"/>
+</p>  
+
+HDRP with Global Illumination (notice how much brighter the scene is with ray traced light bouncing):
+
+<p align="center">
+<img src="images/hdrp_rt_gi.png" width="700"/>
+</p>  
+
+HDRP with Path Tracing (128 samples) (notice the red light bleeding from the cube onto the floor and the increased shadow quality):
+
+<p align="center">
+<img src="images/hdrp_pt_128_samples.png" width="700"/>
+</p>  
+
+HDRP with Path Tracing (4096 samples) (more samples leads to less ray tracing noise but also a longer time to render):

+  <summary><strong>Q: I am randomizing my Scene every frame and using ray casting to detect the position of objects, but my ray casts are returning incorrect results. What is the issue here?</strong>
+</summary><br>
+
+The physics engine needs to catch up with the position and rotation of your objects and is typically a frame behind. When you randomize things every frame, the physics engine can never catch up. To fix this, call `Physics.SyncTransforms` just before calling any ray casting methods.

+
+One useful resource for humanoid characters and animations is [Mixamo](https://www.mixamo.com/#/?page=1&type=Motion%2CMotionPack).
