Hi! This comment will help you figure out which jobs to run before merging your PR. The suggestions are dynamic based on what files you have changed.
Link to Yamato: https://yamato.cds.internal.unity3d.com/jobs/902-Graphics
Search for your PR branch using the sidebar on the left, then add the following segment(s) to the end of the URL (you may need multiple tabs depending on how many packages you change)

VFX
/.yamato%252Fall-vfx.yml%2523PR_VFX_trunk

Depending on the scope of your PR, you may need to run more jobs than what has been suggested. Please speak to your lead or a Graphics SDET (#devs-graphics-automation) if you are unsure.

Hi Vic, looking good!
I've noted a few possible things to check out.

+In this version, the Visual Effect Graph has added support for the Universal Render Pipeline’s (URP) 2D Renderer. This means that you can now render effects in a 2D project and sort them along with sprites in your scene.
+
+For more information, see [Rendering in the Universal Render Pipeline](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@latest?/manual/rendering-in-universalrp.html).


Should we link to the latest version here, or to the equivalent 12.x?

Ah, you make a good point, the equivalent 12.x link would be better! Done :)

+VFX version 21.2 also adds support for Graphics/Compute buffers. This makes it easier to handle and transfer large amounts of data to a Visual Effect Graph. This is particularly useful for tracking multiple GameObject positions in your graph.


VFX version 21.2

My bad if I wrote this originally; I think it's misleading saying VFX version 21.2; it should be either VFX version 12.0 or VFX Graph in 2021.2.

support for Graphics/Compute buffers

Maybe just Graphics buffers.

From Paul:

Yes, "Graphics Buffer" it's the most correct way to express it, Structured Buffer is also fine but it refers to the GPU view.

This also showed up in this forum thread.

Thanks! Fixed.

The decal output section looks to be empty (image and description)

ops. Added!

+
+This VFX graph version adds a transform to various shape blocks and operators to make them easier to use and to give you more precise control. For example, you can use this transform to rotate a Position Circle block to make the circle shape face a new direction, or to scale the shape of a sphere collision block on one axis to collide with an ellipse.


collide with an ellipse.

Just googled it and apparently ellipsoid is the 3D version of an ellipse. Apologies, I wrote the wrong one originally, should be "ellipsoid".

Ah, that makes more sense! Fixed.
