    Follow these steps to integrate volumetric fog into your URP project:

    1. Renderer Setup: Add the volumetric fog renderer feature to your URP Renderer asset.
    2. Post-Processing: Enable post-processing on both your Camera and your URP Renderer.
    3. Volume Configuration:
      • Add a Volume to your scene.
