CORE-Framework with 100+ mobile ready shaders [RELEASED]

I have the latest unity5 beta ready ... this one fixes a problem with shadows ..

v1.5 beta 3

Just sent out links to those who msged me ...

 

@echologin

Thanks for the beta 13 link.

1.) I've added _EchoCoreManager prefab to my scene.
2.) I added EchoGameObject component to all renderers in my scene.
3.) After compiling shaders for the first time, I get the following errors in Unity 5.0.1p3..Platform is set to Android.

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
EchoGameObject.AddShaderProperty (UnityEngine.Material isharedMat, System.String sname) (at Assets/Plugins/EchoLogin/EchoGameObject.cs:1313)

Just a bug that I picked up...

If I have EchoCoreObject component on a gameObject that has a MeshRenderer component, but the MeshRenderer is disabled, I will get the following when I run the game...


NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
EchoGameObject.AddShaderProperty (UnityEngine.Material isharedMat, System.String sname) (at Assets/Plugins/EchoLogin/EchoGameObject.cs:1313)
EchoGameObject.AddShaderPropertyVector4 (UnityEngine.Material isharedMat, System.String sname) (at Assets/Plugins/EchoLogin/EchoGameObject.cs:1369)

Are you supporting OpenGL ES 3.0? I see in your outdated looking docs you mention only support for 2.0.

 

Also objects set to bump mapped look very strange on Android devices. Here, my sand track looks more like a black track.



This is what is should look like...



Also I'm not seeing any framerate improvements from using EchoLogin on my Android device.
It hovers around 26 FPS, same as the standard Mobile/Diffuse shaders.

 

Only OpenGL 2.0 for now ... i have an updated beta i will send you link to . check PM msgs

Also you should make sure your bottleneck is shaders .. if the bottleneck in game is something else you will not see a speed increase ...

Does the track look right in editor and just looks wrong on device ?

 

Open GL 2.0 only for now is pretty much useless for me, considering all the devices that support 3.0 now.

Yes, as you can see from the screenshots it looks fine in the editor, and on device it looks weird.

 

It looks to me a lot like like "a mesh that contains no Normals vertex data" would look.
FWIW.

Perhaps some notes on the SM2.0 "hard" texture counts for now would have value.

And "For now" is just "for now", not "For ever" until he says "Forever" I would hold out hope

 

blackness with the beta (and 5.0.2f1) on control textures. just so you know.
Would be nice if you could support the popular vertex color packing of Mesh Materializer and PolyWorld (they pack the colors the same) for better cross-content creation options

 

Thanks for the update! For some reason, I do not see lightmap for Bumpmapped shaders, works for others. I looked though the shader code, everything seems to be in order. Still, no lightmaps. I've tried all the settings in framework manager. I am the only one with this problem?

One more thing. If I bake standard shader materials with emission, it shows fine for standard shader. For echo shaders, I can see shadow, but emission from the baked lightmap is gone. This is odd, I can see emission properly baked, wonder how could it not work with echo shaders.

 

any idea echologin as to when you will be able to get a complete update out for unity 5?
I was going to buy but if it doesnt work with unity 5, its pretty redundant at this stage.

 

Hi there!
Loving the Core Framework thus far - give a nice FPS boost to my game on iOS and Android!!!
Quick question...

I am seeing the following line in my log: EchoPoolManager:Awake()
However, my project is not using the Echo Pool Manager (as I had already written my own).
How do I disable the Echo Pool? Or better yet, remove it from my project entirely?

Thanks,
Dan

 

Has anyone managed to get the Light - Bumpmap textures working in Unity 5? I'm only seeing pink.

 

Does anyone know if this has a transparent shader that also casts shadows?

cheers

Nalin

 

This isn't Unity 5 ready yet? ... wondering because I still get this error when importing the asset:

Unity Version 5.1.0f3 64bit

is this how you fix it?

Code (CSharp):

1.           GameObject newgo = this.gameObject;

 

any plans on the new upgrade, since it was so long from the last update, April 2014 or something?

 

Im sorry im am so behind my dad went into hospital may 16th then died a month or so later .. things been crazy since ..

i Sitll have the beta's if anyone needs them just PM me or add me to skype "echoLogin"

 

So sorry to hear it, Scott. It's been a tough year for you.

 

Indeed.

 

wow, that's such a bad news. So sorry to hear it also.

 

Thanks man . its almost crazy now my cousin died this last Saturday

if i wasn't going through it myself i wouldn't believe all this

 

Condolences @echologin - so sorry for your loss.

 

Thanks

 

Would happily accept the beta.
My thoughts to you.

 

Sorry to hear about the losses in your family. Please could you send me the beta. I am using Unity 5.3.0f4.

Thanks.

 

I depreciated CORE framework ( gone off store )... if anyone wants latest version for unity 5 just PM me your order number.

IM thinking about making just a shader pack ( no framework crap ) support pixel lighting ..

 

Thanks

 

Thanks .. i sent link via PM

 

My condolences also.

About the asset. I mostly use it for the speed shaders, so a shader pack would make sense.
The Scroll_uv() method is pretty cool though, so maybe you could split the shaders from the framework stuff. I think that would make sense.

I'm using 1.5-beta3 btw, is that the newest?

 

beta 9 is latest ... I depreciated core on store so if anyone wants latest just PM me

 

Hi, sorry to bother you, yesterday I sent you an email with invoce number. Could you send me too the beta 9 version please? Best regards.

 

Hey purchased your asset awhile back, and you accidentally sent me one of your other assets and told me I could keep it. Just wanted to drop by and say hope your doing well.

 

Hey yeah doing great ... going to be releasing some new shaders in next few months that are better than anything core frame work did and easier to use

 

Hey I have a version of CORE that works with unity 2017
Anyone can use it for Free if they want now...

Here is link COREFrameWork

it is the full package with source and demos...

any bugs post here or send me a PM

I am going to put it up on GITHUB soon

 

Khaaan is spelled wrong in that MEME lol

 

That's why he is saying it wrong, as a protest against his protest.

 

Echo whats the latest news?

I've been following you since you deprecated and dealt with your personal life, hope everything is picking up.

 

Hi, yeah all good now ... Thanks for asking ...

I been working on a replacement/sequel for Core Framework for almost a year now and its almost done
( don't want to say any more about it until its ready )

 

Great news,

Looking forward to it.

 

Excited to see what you are working on! Core was awesome!
Also... Any chance that your pack will contain something like these...
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/shaders/low-poly-shaders-85262
...for stylised low-poly work?

 

it can use vertex lights now... I guess I could add the option to read texture in vertex like that shader as well
ill put that in my "to do" list

 

I am hyped - this could be perfect for our next project!!!
Glad to here you are making a welcome return to the scene! <3

 

My new shader is almost done --- almost 2 years in the making…
made a simple youtube video using some free unity assets

Just to tease you...

Its one UBER UBER shader to rule them all !

it does everything from PBR, Diffuse lighting to Unlit and effects and its fast for VR and Mobile

 

Definitely looks promising

 

Should be submitting it as a beta in next week

 

Will you revive your asset or will it be a completely new one?

 

I posted a download link for CORE its free now ( its in the comments somewhere )

this is a totally new thing

 

HI MAN!
Hope you are well!!!

As you know I am your oldest living fanboy.
Can't wait man. really.

 

It's kind of like a HDRP that works on everything.

 

Works on unity 5.6 and up ...
Has Up to 4 dir lights 16 point lights and 16 spotlights all in one pass .. and it don't need SRP
Tho I am adding LW SRP support

 

Yeah going good now just working and doing nothing else
