Official Book of the Dead: Environment

HDRP doesn't support Standard Shaders. Use HDRenderPipeline/Lit shader

 

Can 3rd party shaders used in the book of the dead project such Uber and RTP for the terrain?

 

seems that this project used an custom version of HDRP ... i tried to upgrade it to the latest github version but failed!!
so, how to do that??

or can you list these custom changes?

 

nice ... thanks alot ...

 

If we use the assets from this project and incorporate them into our environment, does our project have to be converted to HDRP? Can the assets be made to use a custom shader and when can we expect to see an official release of HDRP?

 

There are other people on the forums who have taken assets into standard renderer projects, eg posts like the following one which has some info on what was done, and a remaining issue (which was helped with in later responses to that post) : #282

As for HDRP, it is nowhere close to coming out of preview. Nor is it close enough to that happening that anyone would give you a useful time estimate, but I'm sure it wont be in 2018 and there could still be plenty of work to do in 2019 before they are happy enough with it to drop the preview tag. One reason I say this is that they are usually quite cautious about dropping the preview tag from packages, I really like what HDRP can do already but there is plenty left to do and even LWRP, a simpler system, is not out of preview yet.

 

Thanks for the replies, will look into it

 

This looks great in the editor but as soon as I hit play it crashes Unity. I've followed the instructions listed here for new project and importing. Would really like to see it in action if anyone can help.
I am running Win7 64bit, GeForce1070, 32 gigs of ram, Unity 2018.2.5f1 (64-bit).

Thanks!

 

Hi again, this looks great and I am enjoying poking around.
In the main scene if you run it on it's own without the additive loaded scenes, and filter by type: Camera, I have three gamobject cameras. Any chance of a quick run down of what each of these are doing? Is one providing information to another?

Thanks

 

Thanks. Interesting!

My existing project has a number of cameras added to it including for most of it, a layered camera over another. Is there anything to consider in this case by using many camera ie Should I have Post process layer on every camera I use or is that a bad idea due to doubling up some aspects of rendering (even if most cameras are disabled/deactivated)? Is there any scripts that I ought to avoid having more than once in the scene?

Thanks!

 

Hi
I have a problem with the package. I can't place a new terrain, it is always pink. I read a couple of replies with the same problem, but did not find a clear solution.
Even when I place an example terrain, it shows up in pink.
I would appreciate if someone could help me, I'd really like to use these assets for my preject.
I made a screenshot with the example terrain.



Thanks for the help.
Cheers

 

And the volume script has a Context slot...But I cannot drop my own cameras in there?

It seems there is must be a number of bake steps in here somehow because it doesn't seem to work very well importing terrain and assets into your scene and then moving all the AV's and PPV's and so on into place.. Does the project set out occlusion probes, bake them, and then they disappear by any chance?

Nevermind I think I figured that out

 

On the terrain object you have the option for a custom material on the last pane of terrain component.

Create a lit/layered material with 4 terrain textures and it should slot right in there
yours is set to "Built-in Standard"

 

Thanks for the answer. But this brings me to the next problem. When I add a custom material to the terrain, I am not able to paint any texture on to the terrain.
It lets me add more textures to the "paint texture" tool but I can't use them.
So I guess the solution with the custom material is not the solution I am looking for.

Cheers

 

A while ago I saw a post by Unity team inviting people to showcase their packages integrated with the Book of the Dead environment? It was supposed to be shown at one of the conventions I think. Is the offer still on?

Anyway, I'm working on an integration for my On Rails Shooter template:

 

Question related to this:

I have moved sun in BOTD demo and I understand the cascade camera is moved also.
So this is doing work, even though the camera itself is disabled?

I had a problem where the final cascade wouldn't render so I bumped up the HDRenderPipelineAsset_Desktop.asset Shadow Atlas Width and Height settings. Initially this helped but after a bake I had lost them again so I increased these values a second time. I think that worked but then they disappeared again, eventually I ran out of headroom with that setting.. So is there a way to handle this problem better and avoid the DebugLog messages:
Shadow atlasing has failed. and
Shadow allocation failed in the ReserveFinalize step.
?

Thank you!

 

Hi there, I'm really interested in implementing the atmospheric scattering from this project into my own. But I've run into quite a few issues with missing methods and so on. I understand it's a custom solution but even using the latest branch of the HDRP I cant get it to work. Any ideas or pointers on how to proceed ?

 

Is there a way to visualize the 3d textures?

 

The occlusion map (sky occlusion I think they are called).

 

Thanks! I guess I'll write my own slice viewer once I figure out how to handle 3d texture lol

The truth is that I wanted to know what was the emerging structure, and if I could approximate it in other cheap way. I don't have a high end pc and over time I would like to port down book of the dead to these puny pc and hardware, it's obviously not practical, it's more an exercise, I expect it will be about turning everything off, but I want to see if I have some surprise or lesson lol

 

Hi There, I tried downloading it but it is frozen at 83%. Not sure how to restart or reset it in the asset store. Any suggestions?

 

I retrieved my missing shadows. I deleted the "Additional Shadow Data" script on the light, it reappeared and with it so did my shadows.

Thanks for the great info.

 

It's true for a generic "realistic" solution, but the hypothesis is: tree may have specific spatial signature, maybe I can fake that signature and recompose a plausible gradient, it wouldn't be "real" but close enough to create a similar effect. I guarantee you that all the leaf shadow, when character walking under sakura tree in anime, are not accurate to the actual drawn tree shapes!

 

Hello,
I just managed to download and build the game and it went ok but I have to seem to weird effect and was wondering if it has something to do with the Demo , or maybe it's an nvidia settings thing, or even a hardware issue on my end.



there seems to be something of a "filter" that resembles a layer of "white/static noise" , you can see better on the farther rocks in the background center right side of the screen.
is it the way it's supposed to render? or maybe something is going on?
tried to watch a few video of people running the demo and haven't noticed anything.
would be glad for some help and maybe if it's not demo related some info on where i should be looking into this stuff

 

I think grain is enabled in the post fx

 

any idea how to disable it? iam a bit new to unity, tried disabling a few things in the camera and it didnt work

 

find the post processing profile and disable grain. don't remember what its called, probably search for stuff with 'pp' in the project and find the profiles that use grain and disable it on them

 

Hey thank you for the answer , any chance you could point me in the right direction of the post processing? since i've been going through all the objects in my hierarchy looking for post processing disabling objects and trying out the game but to no success.

[Edit]
Found it eventually in the PostProcessingLayer.cs , if anyone wishes to disable it just comment out the Grain method

 

Hi! Great work!

I have a question, how does it handle collisions? I don't see any colliders attached to the obstacle gameobjects..

 

There's a separate hierarchy of objects for the colliders. Most of the path in the woods is covered by a "wall" of colliders on the sides.

 

Thanks for providing the tangent normal maps here.

If possible, can you also please give the tangent normal maps for:

• Yosemite_01
• Wood_Log_rfgxx
  
• Wood_Log_rfixH
• Wood_Root_rkswd

Would great appreciate it if it is possible! Thanks

 

Hey, thanks a lot! I can access them fine. Sorry, my mistake about the Yosemite normal map,

 

Does this run on the linux version of unity?
