Cinematic Image Effects (Pre Release) package

Is it related to the "dithering" option? Does the grainyness change when you switch that off?

 

Where's that option? On the script, under Tonemapping (which is the only thing enabled), there are just options for Tonemapper type and Exposure.

EDIT: @Martin_H It seems the option was removed and it was left permanently enabled. Not sure if it's something else I'm doing wrong, because this grain is definitely not nice. It looks particularly bad on Hable and Reinhard tonemapping but still appears in all types, looks like an old TV. Let me know if you have the same issue.

 

Yep that fixed it! Thank you, and @Martin_H

 

I hope this isn't too off-topic, but is there an easy way to prevent the image effects (such as AA) from affecting the UI?

 

@Tim C Hi! I'm making a space shooter with a hud that has both screen and world space UI, using the native Unity uGUI. Rendering is deferred.

At the moment there's only one camera that renders everything including the scene. I tried using a second camera for the UI with clear flags set to depth only, a higher depth and culling mask set to UI (all of the canvases and their children are on that layer). Didn't work, broke the post-processing chain on the first camera.

Is there a standard way to solve this sort of problem?

Thanks!

I see that you guys have motion blur working. . . .

 

I love me a bit o' motion blur. It's all a blur after a while at my age.

 

Has anyone tried these on iOS yet? I'm getting some odd effects(makes everything look almost like liquid metal) with color grading on iOS.

 

They're not intended for mobile.

 

That's unfortunate. So far the new tone mapping and bloom loom great, but color grading doesn't work(even as a LUT).

 

I think eventually some of them will hit mobile. I see no reason why the grading component couldn't work. But I think they'll want to complete the current set before optimising (there's no way some of these will run well yet).

 

Now that I'm looking through the code, I don't see anything that would be causing this issue... Unless iOS OpenGLES3 doesn't like passing a sampler2D as an argument?(I find that very hard to believe). If I have time tomorrow I'll see what XCode's frame debugger can tell me.

 

How about GearVR?

 

that is great
need love when im rotating camera and watching far far away

 

Just heard about this from the Unity talk at GDC yesterday. Have downloaded from the asset store which is great but clearly out of date. I appreciate this is a moving target however any chance of updating the asset store to tie in with the Adam video release and yesterday's talk? I can't get Bitbucket to work and the download helper (which sounds ideal) is throwing up the following error


Cheers

 

Ah... looks like when I downloaded Unity 5.3.4 I must have unchecked the Windows build by mistake - downloading again now. Thanks for the super quick response Tim!

 

I am using iOS 9.2.1 on an iPad Air 2, Unity version 5.3.3p1 using OpenGLES3. HDR is enabled, and I have the new Bloom effect and the new Tonemapping effects set to ACES and Color Grading set to defaults except a logarithmic curve applied to the master color curve. I'm using the repo on BitBucket, with the latest (trunk, pull request #41 merge)

This is one with color grading disabled:


And this with color grading enabled:

 

Exposure too high maybe?

 

So the top is with the ACES tonemapping on, but color grading off, the bottom with with both on. It's not washing it out, it's adding some very strange banding(you can see it in the second screen shot).

 

Only mobile.

 

Just did a quick test on current GearVR (Galaxy S7) project running at 60 fps with forward rendering. Threw everything at it to begin with that supports forward rendering. So long as you don't move your head the scene looks great - dropped to 20 fps! Individually, AA had a very positive impact with no drop in fps. AO dropped by 10-15 fps which is a shame. The other effects dropped on average 10-15 fps.

Fantastic set of tools btw and will have endless joy testing them on our Oculus version later.

 

This should be better if we get Image Effects combined in one script.

Is your project running directly on the Phone as a mobile project or do you stream PC project video to the phone ?
Anyway VR with a Galaxy is not real best VR, you would need a device receiving PC video using HDMI.

 

@zenGarden Directly on phone as mobile VR project. I wanted better AA for my project which I got. Anything else would have been a bonus so happy days

 

+1 should make a petition for it XD
or at leat they should sell it on the asset store

WANT IT SOOOO MUCH

He does pretty cool things sometimes when he's not too busy

 

Shameless plug but I've been working on a system like that for a while

Hope to release it before unity makes it obsololete I'm missing some shadowmap API though that would make it work really well *shakes first in general direction of unity HQ*. Still though it's super neat. Can't wait to see what unity does too

 

So what in the shadowmap api do you specifically require to get it working? Speaking openly about it can often really help if a developer takes interest

 

Oh I've bugged unity people about it (Kasper Storm Engelsoft), it was supposed to be added in 5.4 but now has been pushed back with no ETA

Basically to sample shadows in the fog I just need a way to access the shadow matrices used while rendering. Reconstructing these is very hard since unity does smart stuff to cull the scene intelligently.

Right now I do have it working by using a shader to grab these matrices from the GPU, write them to a texture, and read that back on the CPU. That costs like 2-3ms per frame though which is a shame

 

Is there any plan for WebGL compatible fallbacks? We'd really like to have our WebGL builds match other platforms or it pretty much makes WebGL obsolete.

 

Man i really want TLOU soft shadow, why he didn't put it in repo
@Tim C Can you ask him about it, even if it's a WIP

 

Ah I've only had e-mail contact with Kasper after some talk at Unite, but I went ahead and made a report: 780323

If you could poke some people that would definitely be awesome!

 

I'm pretty confident you will have some added value to yours that doesn't make it obsolete when Unity share theirs. Is there another thread on the unity forum for us to talk more about your Vapor, as I fear I'll be going off topic if I go in that direction too much here!

 

I would like that in Unity ,very fast character shadows approximation, this could help mobile games also.

 

any estimates for your release?

 

Can we take 3rd party to another thread?

 

I have an issue with cinematic image effects. SSR stops working when I import effects from standard assets.
I get those warnings:

SSR disables automatically. What can I do to fix this problem. I am using project downloaded from Image effects repository with effects standard assets added from assets menu. My target platform is windows. I have dx12 enabled due to Unity poor performance in dx11 mode. But changing to dx11 do not fix the problem
