2020.1 Beta 5 & Latest related packages for Hybrid Render V2 - No Entities Showing

2020.1 Beta 5 & Latest related packages for Hybrid Render V2 - No Entities Showing
(I've already asked in the DOTS related sub-forum, I thought I'd give it a try in the beta forum next)

I feel this is something simple I'm overlooking?

If I add a sphere with a Convert to Entity component, that will show up in Play Mode. But the following code will no longer (it worked fine in 2019.3 with HR V1) present the Entities I expected at Play Mode time.

Any ideas why not? (I'm using URP)

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using Unity.Entities;
5. using Unity.Mathematics;
6. using Unity.Transforms;
7. using Unity.Rendering;
8. using Unity.Jobs;
9.  
10. public class CreateCapsuleSystem : JobComponentSystem
11. {
12.     protected override void OnCreate()
13.     {
14.         base.OnCreate();
15.  
16.         for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
17.         {
18.  
19.             var instance = EntityManager.CreateEntity(
20.                 ComponentType.ReadOnly<LocalToWorld>(),
21.                 ComponentType.ReadWrite<Translation>(),
22.                 ComponentType.ReadWrite<Rotation>(),
23.                 ComponentType.ReadWrite<NonUniformScale>(),
24.                 ComponentType.ReadOnly<RenderMesh>()
25.                 );
26.  
27.  
28.             float3 position = new float3(UnityEngine.Random.Range(-10, 10), 0, UnityEngine.Random.Range(-10, 10));
29.             float scale = UnityEngine.Random.Range(1, 10);
30.             EntityManager.SetComponentData(instance,
31.                 new LocalToWorld
32.                 {
33.                     Value = new float4x4(rotation: quaternion.identity, translation: position)
34.                 });
35.             EntityManager.SetComponentData(instance, new Translation { Value = position });
36.             EntityManager.SetComponentData(instance, new Rotation { Value = new quaternion(0, 0, 0, 0) });
37.             EntityManager.SetComponentData(instance, new NonUniformScale { Value = new float3(scale, scale, scale) });
38.             var rHolder = Resources.Load<GameObject>("ResourceHolder").GetComponent<ResourceHolder>();
39.  
40.             EntityManager.SetSharedComponentData(instance,
41.                 new RenderMesh
42.                 {
43.                     mesh = rHolder.theMesh,
44.                     material = rHolder.theMaterial
45.                 });
46.         }
47.     }
48.  
49.  
50.     protected override JobHandle OnUpdate(JobHandle inputDeps)
51.     {
52.         return inputDeps;
53.     }
54. }
55.  

 

I can't see your material, but if you're setting "_MainTex" or otherwise using MainTexture, you may have no texture at all. HDRP shaders at least will often ignore that texture. Run this:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. namespace Helpers
6. {
7.     public struct ShaderTool
8.     {
9.         public static void LogProperties(Material material)
10.         {
11.             for(int i = 0; i < material.shader.GetPropertyCount(); i++)
12.             {
13.                 Debug.Log(i + "..........................................................................................................");
14.                 Debug.Log("Property Name " + i + ": " + material.shader.GetPropertyName(i) + "\n");
15.                 Debug.Log("Property Description " + i + ": " + material.shader.GetPropertyDescription(i) + "\n");
16.                 Debug.Log("Property Type " + i + ": " + material.shader.GetPropertyType(i) + "\n");
17.                 Debug.Log("Property NameID " + i + ": " + material.shader.GetPropertyNameId(i) + "\n");
18.                 if(material.shader.GetPropertyAttributes(i).Length > 0)
19.                 {
20.                     Debug.Log("Property " + i + " Attributes: \n");
21.                     for(int j = 0; j < material.shader.GetPropertyAttributes(i).Length; j++)
22.                     {
23.                         Debug.Log("     " + i + "." + j + ": " + material.shader.GetPropertyAttributes(i)[j] + "\n");
24.                     }
25.                 }
26.             }
27.         }
28.     }
29. }
30.  

All your material's shader properties will be output to the log. In there, you'll likely find a texture and color property that seems to fit your shader. For example, Unlit shaders may use _UnlitColor and _UnlitColorMap.

This can drive ya nuts, because everything will seem perfect so far as anything written almost anywhere.
