Conifers [BOTD]

Get them for free from the asset store

 

Hi there, this is the issue I was seeing with the tree trunks being translucent even in the editor:

 

super strange. i haven't tested the shaders in 2019.2 tho.
which rendering pipeline do you use?

 

@larsbertram1 Just the standard unity render pipeline.

 

deferred or forward?
and actually the bark is not "transparent" or "translucent": i think ssao or shadows are rendered on top.
what ssao solution do you use (if any)?
and does any of the shaders included in the package bug?

wild guess: you are using forward rendering and the trees do not get rendered to the depth normal texture so ssao does not "see" them. in this case you have to assign the included depth normal shader.

 

@drupaljoe any thoughts?

 

@larsbertram1 Thanks for your response. Looks like its an issue with the Post Processing - Ambient Occlussion from the Unity package.

Changing mode from "Scalable Ambient Obsurance" to "Multi-scale Volumetric Occlusion" seems to fix it.

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/c...nt-Occlusion.html#scalable-ambient-obscurance

 

You could also change "From Shader" at the bottom of your material from 2100 to 3000

 

adding the cti depth normal shader in the graphics settings should fix it as well. without you having to change the ssao effect.

 

i would not recommend to do so: 3000 is the transparent queue so trees would most likely be sorted back to front.

 

Great pack! However, I'm using the lightweight rendering pipeline and everything turns up pink without the ability to convert the materials to the LWRP. Any suggestions?

 

not yet.

 

I got a problem when i run the first time trees are moving with wind. Even without a wind object in the scene. But when closing unity and restart the dont move anymore, even when placing a wind object in the scene. Anyone have any idea?

 

Hi, can you share with your terrain what's in the photo

 

It from the standard unity terrain, with the BOTD tree from the asset store

 

I don't need it as the photo terrain) with the same elevation maps if it is possible

 

You want it as a asset? Please pm me youre email ill send it

hey there, trees are not moving anymore when i restart unity.. is there a solition ?

 

they need the wind script. it may not run in edit mode.so what happens if you hit play?

 

when i first added the trees to the terrain, they were moving without any script even at editing mode.. after i took save and close the project.. opened it again but nothing was moving anymore..

 

Problem solved... Reimported the assets and they started moving again..

 

Do you have any plans to update this asset for URP?

 

Great asset in Build-in-renderer. I'm lost when converting to URP... Is an update for URP coming?

 

Having the same problem. Does this only work in certain pipelines?

 

Hey, the trees look different in another scene in the same project.

 

this happened to me too, no idea whyt he leaves are blue

 

I have this issue too. It's the deferred renderer i think. In forward looks ok !

@larsbertram1 can we have a fix eventually !?

Thanks !

 

you have to assign the provided deferred lighting and reflection shaders in case use deferred.
nothing to fix there...

 

Greetings,

The Conifers [BOTD] is an amazing asset. I'm having an issue on the Oculus Quest where the LOD0 version of the trees isn't rendering correctly. I suspect it's a shader issue not being compatible with mobile devices.

This is using the built-in render pipeline.


Many Thanks,

- Malcolm

 

I tried again switching from the built-in pipeline to the URP pipeline and running on the Quest. It still looks incorrect when at LOD0, although it looks much prettier.

 

it might be a problem with texture compression on the quest...
lod0 uses the texture arrays? you may have to recreate these using a texture format supported on android devices.
or just skip the texture array version.

 

I couldn't get the Conifer Bark Array texture working; and just switching the LOD0 tree to the Conifer Bark Simple didn't look good because the stump part of the LOD0 doesn't tile with the rest of the tree.

As this is for a portable headset, I was able to:
* Put the Conifer Bark Simple on the LOD1 tree (it also had issues)
* Removed the LOD0 tree and shuffled the remaining LODs down

 

I'm using tis asset in the High definition render pipeline and my trees are pink and I don't know what to do

 

If you're having issues with this package (such as pink bark in URP, or not knowing how to adjust the wind) please have a look at these reviews:

 

I can't find the CTI URP Inputs.hlsl anywhere it all leads to dead ends. am I missing something?

 

Its in CTI URP /shaders/includes/CTI inputs

 

Having these weird artifacts when i draw trees on terrain .Can anybody help?

 

Is there a way to remove these errors

 

I have the same problem as namenome : when i first added the trees to the terrain, they were moving without any script even at editing mode.. after i took save and close the project.. opened it again but nothing was moving anymore..

Did onyone find another way to fix this problem insead of reimporting the assets ?

Thank you very much.

 

I found the solution to the problem of the trees not bending with the wind !
This bug in Conifers [BOTD] is known and the way to fix the bug is in the conifers asset itself.

You have to look for the script in "Conifers [BOTD]/Render Pipeline Support/Built-in RP/CTI Runtime Component/Scripts/CTI_CustomWind.cs" and to add this script as a component to a Wind Zone game object.

hope it helps !

 

I can't find this file too, where should it be?

[EDIT]
For the ones still struggling I looked for the file searching on git hub and I found it in a repository, copied in mine and then it worked.
Although I decided to not use those three because they were too heavy for my application

 

Bro , It helped a lot , i was not able to get those trees bend by wind when i build my project .....but after this technique , i got them moving ...Amazing .....Peace be upon u

 

Where did you find it on github? I found a repository that uses conifers but it doesn't have the path people are describing

 

Thanks, that fixed it for me !

For shader-challenged people like me, here is the complete process for making this wonderful asset work in URP :
- Import
- Once imported, find the Conifers [BOTD] URP package which is in the root folder of the asset
- Double click, it will create the CTI URP folder (that's your URP shaders)
- In there, find Shaders/Includes/CTI URP Inputs
- Open it and after line 200, write outSurfaceData = (SurfaceData)0;
- Go one level up in the folder hierarchy and find the shader that throws the error on line 200, it's called CTI/URP LOD Bark
- Click "Compile and show code"

You should now have those beautiful conifers in URP

 

I imported this into 2021.2 - was having pink shader issues, but after playing with it a bit based on the above posts I decided to remove and reimport to try again - however it doesn't show up in package manager as 'in project'?
If I check 'my assets' I can import and re-download, but how do I remove this if I want to reimport it?

 

youhave to remove the package from your asset store doenload folder:
https://forum.unity.com/threads/asset-store-download-folder.83620/

 

I can't make this work, even following the documentarion, even following what people post about it.
The problem is that the paths people talk about doesn't even exist, I'm using Unity 2021.2.18f1.4610

Yeap, one scene is all pink and the other scene has gray floor and the trees shows up but there's still some pink lines.

Now I am affraid of buying other scenes and getting stuck in the same problem, this problem doesn't encourage me into buying anything.

ps1: I did open all packages one by one.

ps2: these paths doesn't exist, but the shaders do exist:

Deferred Rendering
In case your camera uses deferred rendering you have to assign the CTI deferred lighting
shaders in:
Edit → Project Settings → Graphics :
● Under the Built-in shader settings change Deferred to custom , then assign the
CTI_Internal-DeferredShading shader.
● Also change Deferred Reflections to Custom and assign the
CTI_Internal-DeferredReflections shader.

 

mots important question is: which render pipeline do you use?

• built in rp? then the next question: forward or deferred? only if you use built in deferred you have to assign the 2 custom shaders mentioned.
• urp? then you have to import the urp package and the latest cti urp runtime packages (as you are on unity 20221.2.18 and urp 12.x)

 

I want to use some free Assets and make a game. I mean I can sell my games to steam using these Assets?
