Official Book of the Dead: Environment

No tuve éxito....

 

Hi,
Beginner here asking some perhaps stupid questions. First of all I absolutely love the trees here, and wanted to import them to my project. So I exported the whole Arts folder with everything it and imported that into my project. There I took the trees and changed shaders to Tree Soft Occulsion Bark and - leaves (Branches as leaves, rest as bark) to get them look "not pink". However I would like the wind to effect the trees, and I have not been able to do that. I have a wind zone, and Enable Tree Colliders on. I use the terrain tree painter thingy. So my questions are:

1. Is there a (beginner) way to get the wind to effect the trees
2. If not, is there another way to get movement on the trees. My project is a dreamlike project, where the movement does not need to be natural.

As I said I am a beginner, but I am able to follow a tutorial

 

Hi there,

I'm trying to import the project, but I get this for a lot of the assets: trees, stumps etc.



And in the end it allows me to quit only.


The last line says it can't find the file specified.

 

The path was root:/unity projects/bookofthedead/

I'll try with shorter folder names and get back to you monday.

EDIT:

@torbjorn Sorry for late reply, but the problem still persists even when placing the project folder at root and simplifying the name to root:/botd/

 

Just updated unitypackage to version 1.1
Editor crashes when I press play.

 

Same.

 

@torbjorn Any possibility to update the package within an existing project?

created new project 3d template - import unitypackage - press play

 

I apologize for the non-standard question. Can I use trees in projects created not on the unity engine?

 

Find TerrainEvo3 in project, but can not find any info about it. Can you explain what is the tool?

 

I've got last version of both Book of the Dead (1.1) and Unity (2018.2.1f1), it crashes when I try to play it..
Both versions are from 26th July, so it should work..
Any idea why this is happenning and how to solve it?

 

Working! Thanks!!

 

Does anyone know another 2018 current example with lighting and fog, godray effects as good BOTD but works with current packages and not the BOTD custom packages? Im trying to make a Forrest for the Asset store.
Or we have to wait for the next version of Unity?

Also whats the best result I can hope for making a realistic forest for the LW Pipeline?

Looking for links, pictures, examples, videos etc.

 

For some reason I cannot move the camera through the controls in game mode. I mean, in the help it says that you press TAB and you can move the camera, with WASD I guess, isn't it?

I saw in a video online about book of the dead, that there are some controls to move the camera, but I cannot get that, I press TAB and nothing happens.

 

Thanks, I have tried clicking on the game view before, but still not working.
Anyway I made it work turning the free camera script in the main camera inspector, which was disabled, but still is not the same, it's a fly through, but not the character walking like in a game, and also there is no sound..

BTW what do you mean if you are testing in the editor. Sorry for my ignorance, is there any other way to test it without the editor?

 

Thanks, Im trying to build a standalone for win 64 with player and with no player, but nothing, it gets stuck at the last time. My hardware is quite good, so I don't think that's the problem.

 

HDR pipeline is still unstable and does not support lighting box 2 terrain features yet which Im using in my game. Is there a way to use the trees in this demo in the standard rendering pipeline mantaining as much quality as what was delivered in the demo

 

Well I don't know I thik I left it for like 15 or 20 mins, maybe I should wait more I don't know.

 

Hi. First of all, really awesome work. I am trying to move the assets from HDRP to Standard Pipeline. (Only Rocks at the moment) I noticed several differences among shaders and texture maps. Generally I followed these steps to convert assets from HDRP to Standard Pipeline:

1. Import .fbx file to new project.
2. Import supported maps to new project (Albedo and some Tangent space Normal maps).
3. Convert "MaskMap" to appropriate maps (Metallic, AO, Detail Map Mask, Smoothness) using a custom built python script.
4. Convert "DetailMap" to appropriate maps (Detail Albedo, Detail Normal map, Detail Smoothness) using another python script.
5. Assign supported maps (Albedo, Tangent space Normal, AO, Detail Albedo, Detail Normal)
6. Test with lighting

However, I am having problems with converting Object Space Normal maps to Tangent Space normal maps. I tried xNormal, but not all converted maps are correct and creates weird artifacts. Any way to solve the issue? Other suggestions to improve the conversion pipeline.

I also noticed a huge difference in the quality of Standard Pipeline and HDRP.

 

Hi, i am not a coder. Does someone have an idea how to get rid of this error ?
C:/Users/Norby/AppData/Local/Unity/cache/packages/packages.unity.com/com.unity.render-pipelines.high-definition@2.0.3-preview/HDRP/RenderPipeline/HDRenderPipeline.cs(1702,38): error CS1501: No overload for method `BakeMSVOMap' takes `7' arguments

Thanks

Ok thank you, I will try leaving it more time.

 

Getting a decent 45ish fps on a 980 Ti here. This is really lovely stuff guys!

 

Added BOTD v1.1 diffs to github in case people want to examine the changes:
https://github.com/0lento/ScriptableRenderPipeline/tree/2.0.5-botd_1.1
https://github.com/0lento/PostProcessing/tree/2.0.8-botd_1.1

as a side note about the SRP diff: I kept the stock SRP directory structure as botd.com.unity naming convention would have made it harder to apply the diff on newer SRP versions.

 

Okay, I am testing your suggestions on Rock_31 asset at Art/Environments/Cliffs/Rock_31. I imported the meta file to new project. I tried converting OSN to TSN using xN.

Original Rock_31_Normal_OS (This is resized version for the purpose of demo only)

Converted TS Normal without any channel changes:



Even after inverting channels (in OSN and after inverting of generated xN TSN), the converted TSN is still incorrect. I even compared the OSN generated from Maya of the same mesh (Normal baking in LOD 2 from LOD 0) and found Inverted Red channel.

Steps I followed:

- Invert Red channel in OSN
- Feed Mesh and inverted OSN to xN
- Invert Green channel in converted TSN
- Got the same map as the one without any channel changes.

Can you provide me the details of how OSN are mapped in HDRP/Lit Shader? I could not find it in the documentation.

Also tried using a custom OSN taking surface shader in Unity 2017.1, but got incorrect results.

HDRP Albedo and OSN Map only:

Custom Surface Shader with Albedo and OSN map:


OSN to TSN conversion snippet: (Very bad at coding shaders)

Code (CSharp):

1. o.Normal = normalize(mul(tex2D(_OSNormal, IN.uv_MainTex).xyz * 2.0 - 1.0, (float3x3)unity_WorldToObject);

Also, tried creating a shader graph to use OSN in LWRP using 'transform' node. Doesn't affect the detail. Only changes the tint of albedo somehow.



(Edit: Got OSN normal map working but weird artifacts)

Albedo + OSN

Solved the above issue using B2M of Substance. However there are much details lost using this process. Look for original TSNM in following posts.

 

Every model, after the import is pink.

 

Here's what I get after importing into an empty project using basic "3D", no HD pipeline choice.



Any idea what it could be?

 

Yes, that worked eventually.

I re-imported into a clean folder 4-5 times and the last one turned out fine. While importing if you don't get the initial splash screen with the "Load assets" button, then that's an indication that the import is not going well, so it's better to start fresh in a new folder.

 

If I import my old project into the BOTD project, I get these errors:

Assets/_LocalPackages/botd.com.unity.render-pipelines.core/CoreRP/Utilities/CoreUtils.cs(313,57): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `PostProcessLayer' could not be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?

Assets/_LocalPackages/botd.com.unity.render-pipelines.core/CoreRP/Utilities/CoreUtils.cs(5,29): error CS0234: The type or namespace name `PostProcessing' does not exist in the namespace `UnityEngine.Rendering'. Are you missing an assembly reference?

I tried reimporting post processing package but it failed to help any.
Originally I had a UnityVS conflict after importing my assets but I just deleted that folder.

Any advice please?

 

I tried moving the CoreUtils.cs into the same folder as PostProcessing
It made more errors
I tried moving PostProcessing into the same folder as CoreUtils
It made more errors

Why did this break? I imported nothing that should interfere with these files
Frustrating.

I will try reimporting the BOTD files again.

 

Thanks, @julienh_unity. Every map is working perfectly.

I got a brief of the reasons to use OSNM over TSNM in the Unite Berlin 2018 video - Unite Berlin 2018 - Book of the Dead: Environmental Design Techniques for Photo-Real Worldbuilding (

). Thanks for clearing more stuffs up.

For anyone wanting to split "Detail Map" and "Mask Map", I used a python script and I have made a Github repository here - https://github.com/amrittb/hdrp-maps-splitter (I used SRP docs as reference to create this script).

 

When Importing an fbx, materials are coming out pink using the standard specular shader. Is there a fix for this?
