Which Unity version do you use? And what type of Curved World shaders do you use?

i have unity 4.6 and i use bumped specular shaders . it works fine when i deploy it on android device but on windows phone it goes pinkish

 

Currently I can not test on Windows phone, but it may be due to Shadow Caster pass. It is discussed here.
Open baked shader file and remove Shadow Caster pass:
UsePass "Hidden/VacuumShaders/Curved World/ShadowPass/SHADOWCASTER"

remove means delete it or comment it

 

@danteswap
For shader both of them means the same. If you comment it (will be excluded from shader), later if you want you will be able to uncomment again.

It didnt work . Ok let me tell you what i did . first i drag my model in heirrarchy the in inspector below mesh renderer in materials . i select Vaccum shader >curved world > one dorection light >diffuse . and backed it and after that i get my build shader in backed section ok . now i deployed same in both windows phone and android . it worked in android but not in windows phone. now as you say i deleted that shadow caster line after that also it didnt work . please help me .

 

Can you try Unlit shader ? If it will not work then its Windwos phone problem and I can do nothing.

Edit: Try putting baked shader in Resources folder. Move shader from Baked folder to Resouce folder, both of them are inside CurvedWorld/Shaders/ folder.

Hey i have a shader file that also apply curved effect and it is working in windows phone so if i give you that shader file then will you be able to do something

 

It's out of the scope of this forum, so continue in PM. Also please provide Curved World invoice number from Asset Store.

HI, i have some issues, with the shadow on the objects, seems the effect don't apply on the shadows, is this right? Anyone have a solution?

Send me detail info in PM.

hey dev i messaged you in private but got no reply from you for last 2 days regarding that windows phone problem . From my side i edited the backed shader file with some custom code and as a result i was able to remove that pink problem and got all the texture on windows phone but now a new problem . The curved effect was not there it was as straight as no curved effect. Hope you will reply with some solutions this time

 

Actually I am waiting for asset invoice number that I requested, without it I can not help.

I told you my problem why cant i provide the invoice number . Ok dont help me on shader but can you provide me with a video of curved shader working on a windows phone . or just a short scene builded for windows phone that i can deploy on my device to check weather or not the shaders are compitable with windows phone or not If the scene works perfectly on windows phone then it will be a good time for me to proceed for checkouts .. Hope you understand why i need a solid proof .If your shaders are not compitable with the windows phone then there will not the the need of procedding further to the checkouts .

 

@danteswap
I though it was clear, you will not get support while using pirated asset.

Ok no problem thanks for helping till now .. And plz mention on asset store the curved world suppports all mobile platform except windows phone . So that the people know that and plz inform me whenever the curved shader supports windows phone so i could buy it . for now nothing more but plz inform me about the support in future ..have a nice day.

 

Looks like a great asset that I would like to purchase. ETA on full support and shadow fix, Unity 5? Thanks!

 

No ETA for Unity 5. May be next week, I will have some info to share about new Curved World.

Ok. Thanks. Until then a pending sale. Hurry up! Cheers!

 

Hi! it work with unity terrain? thanks,

 

In Unity 4 no. I am working to make it for Unity 5.

Very interested! Sadly I am on Unity 5, so I am very looking forward to the Unity 5 version.

 

Arhivrag,

I really enjoy your plugin and I think it is a tremendous achievement. I have reviewed the documentation, but I am unclear on the difference between the "Scene Material Manager" and "Scene Material Baker" (across updates) as it pertains to baking Curved World materials in a scene. At present, the path 'Window / Vacuum Shaders / Curved World / Scene Material Manager" detects Curved World materials, but there is no button to "Bake" or "Bake And Replace" (as described in the 'Read Me'). I appreciate any advice you have to offer. Thanks again.

 

Arhivrag,

Please excuse my above comment, I detected the difference. Thank you!

 

Hi,

First of all thank you for your excellent work !
Is it compatible with light probes ?
If yes how ?

Thanks !

 

Arhivrag,

How do you determine the optimal scale for 'Mesh Bound Corrector'? Also, why is the 'Mesh Bound Corrector' not applied in the 'Football' example scene (I don't see it applied anywhere in the Inspector)?

 

Light probes are not supported, cause I forget about them , will try to add them in the next update. Currently I am working on new Curved World for Unity 5.

I do not determine optimal scale, you do it with 'Mesh Bound Scale' parameter inside script. Not every object needs that script, only those that are culled by unity before rendering and are disappearing.

Thanks for the quick reply One more question: how can I add fog ? Real time shadows (with bakied lightmaps) ?

 

Fog can controlled locally (check-box Fog) or globally for all shaders by the same check-box in the GlobalController script.
You can use baked lightmaps or only realtime shadows, not together (related only to Unity 4 version).

Hi,

Is it possible to change the values of CurvedWorld_GlobalController in runtime through a script? So that we can change how the world bend anytime we want.

Thanks in advance..

 

I want to be able to project shadow of my main character. Any idea how can I do this ? (the environment is lightmaped)

 

Yes, use CurvedWorld_GlobalController.get._V_CW_X_Bend_Size_GLOBAL for example

 

Yes, here is example: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/cu...e-curvature-shader.281186/page-2#post-1899446

May be use projector shaders (not dynamic but, better than nothing). I'll add that as request to 'todo list'.

Thank you so much for your reply! Your input and clarification really helped. I also noticed there are strange effects that occur with Oculus DK2. Specifically, the rotation tracking is altering the horizon line in screen space. With enough effort, you can bend the horizon in x, y, or z which disrupts the continuity of the [curved space] illusion. Do you have any suggestions on how to correct this?

 

I think this answers your question: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/cu...e-curvature-shader.281186/page-2#post-1926381

Any news on when we'll see Unity5 support for this?

 

Currently I'm working on Mesh Materializer that I plan to release this week. So from the next week I will begin work on Curved World 2. Most of the required researches are done.



VacuumShaders - Facebook Twitter YouTube

 

Yes, this does answer my question, and thank you for taking the time to address as many questions as you do in this forum. I noticed in a previous post you are interested in submitting a follow-up asset, Curved World 2. Do you believe the "lock bending" issue will be resolved for this asset?

 

That's how shader works - bending vertex in screen space. "Lock bending" may be just an additional feature, I will try to add it.

You said that support for Curved world in Unity 5 will be "Curved World 2", do you intend to make this a separate product than the existing version, or just increase the version number? Meaning, will we have to buy this again to make it work in Unity 5?

 

Same Question...

I was about to buy Curved World... But I need to know if Curved World 2 will be a separate product or not... :/
I need something that works with Unity5.

 

Curved World 2 will be free update.

Is there any way I can persuade you to enable "lock bending"? (see oculus post)

 

I can not just enable it , I need to write specific shader code for that. In current version it is not possible as Curved World uses screen depth for mesh bending, but I as wrote above - I will try to add it in upcoming updates, but it is not guaranteed. I also want to add lots of features but...
