# RenderPipelineAsset

> An asset that produces a specific IRenderPipeline.

## Definition

* **Type:** Class
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine.Rendering](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/rendering.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.CoreModule
* **Inherits from:** [ScriptableObject](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/scriptableobject.md)

```csharp
public abstract class RenderPipelineAsset : ScriptableObject
```

## Remarks

Default implementation of IRenderPipelineAsset. This manages the lifecylces of inherited types, as well as ensures that created IRenderPipeline's are invalidated when the asset is changed.

Additional Resources: IRenderPipelineAsset.

### Operators

| Operator                                                                           | Description                                                             |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [operator ==](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/object/op-equality.md)   | Compares two object references to see if they refer to the same object. |
| [bool](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/object/op-implicit.md)          | Determines whether the object exists.                                   |
| [operator !=](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/object/op-inequality.md) | Compares if two objects refer to a different object.                    |
