► Curved World ◄

Hii, I just bought the CurvedWorld asset and Its showing the error in unity URP. Can you help me with this?

 

Unity version?

 

Hi, where can I find the asset in your demo video? I don't see it in the package.

Some of used assets:

Seeing this error on the latest release, Jan 6, 2023. My current verison of Unity is 2021.3 LTS
Did a search on this variable and its not found anywhere. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

Remove CW folder from the project, clear Asset Store cache folder (Amazing Assets subfolder) and re-download asset using Unity 2021.3.16 package manager.

 

Hm... still seeing the error after clearing cache, redownloading, and reimporting. Just to be sure, "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Asset Store-5.x\Amazing ssets" is the path for me. Is this the correct location?

 

Yes, it is correct. You should be able to download version for Unity 2021.3.16.
Looks like Asset Store server sends you package for Unity 2020.3. To make sure, check ReadMe file inside Installer folder, there is written Unity version package is designed for.

 

Yeah, you are correct, its sending me the 2020 version even though I'm current on 2021.3
What should I do now?

 

You are using Unity 2021.3.5, update it to the latest 2021.3.16 and

 

Hello,

Could you tell me how to change the coordinates of the object once transformed by CurvedWorldUtilities.TransformPosition back to the original plane coordinates? The bend type uses little planet (y).

 

There is no method for converting position from Curved World space to World space.

 

i have the same issue, i've upgraded to 2021.3.16f1 and not fixed.

nvm, somehow it's working now. unity prolly reimported.

 

Hello , how do I change Bend Type of material in runtime with script ?
is it more optimal to duplicate material and assign to it different types on the project ?

I am working with mobile devices , Thanks

 

Bend Type is a keyword inside material. Change it using Material.EnableKeyword.


But before that, make sure material supports that Bend Type.

 

I know this bug comes up a fair bit, but I'm getting:

Code (CSharp):

1. Assets\Amazing Assets\Curved World\Editor\Material Editors\Builtin\LitShader.cs(19,66): error CS0103: The name 'headerStateKey' does not exist in the current context

I'm running the latest unity 2021.3.16f1 LTS

 

You have imported package designed for Unity 2020.3 inside Unity 2021.3. There are not compatible.

Remove CW folder from the project, clear Asset Store cache folder (Amazing Assets subfolder) and re-download asset using Unity 2021.3.16 package manager. Proper package should be downloaded.

 

Ah yes, my apologies I imported CW before the upgrade. re-download and reimporting sorted the issue thanks!

 

Hello! I would like to know if this would be possible in a multiplayer game? Because I dont find how to make it work properly.

 

Not fully multiplier, but package includes split-screen example scene for two players (even described in the manual file).
The main idea of which is to use separate CurvedWorldController script for each player and make it update CW shaders based on who currently renders the scene.

 

Hello, yet again the same bug:

Code (CSharp):

1. Assets/Amazing Assets/Curved World/Editor/Material Editors/Builtin/LitShader.cs(19,66): error CS0103: The name 'headerStateKey' does not exist in the current context
2.  

I'm using Unity 2021.3.11 and I cannot update the Unity version because the whole team is working on this version of the Editor. How can I remove this bug without an update of Unity ? Thank you

 

You have imported package designed for Unity 2020.3 inside Unity 2021.3. There are not compatible.

Clear Asset Store cache folder (Amazing Assets subfolder) and download asset using Unity 2021.3.16 package manager. Then try to import that package into your project.

 

Hi!


I’m trying to add particles to your package CurveWorld and the particle packages that i use has some other shaders too. So my question is do you know any way to combine these shaders together so i can use particles the way they are with your shader. By the way i’m trying to combine with Polygon Arsenal package.

 

Check manual file (page 39) it explains how to integrate CW inside shader.

 

I would like to make something like Classic Runner X Positive, but where it bends across the y-axis and not the x-axis. Is that possible to do, and if so, how can I?

My game is a 2D game but it would be a pain to rotate all of my logic so that it fits how it bends in Class Runner X Positive.

 

Hi,
I've this problem.
There is only one mesh with one texture (Amaze/Lit).
How can sove it?

 

Increase mesh vertex count along bending axis.

 

Can this asset be used to create an S-curve effect, like in Crash Bandicoot on the run (I want the curve to go slightly to the right and back to the left or forward):

 

No spline type bending.

 

Hey, I'm curious if for the little planet, is it possible to create a perfect sphere for a planet? I was playing around with the tutorial and realized that there is a barrier cutoff. I'm not sure how to get the planet to wrap completely around. It looks like it's only a fourth of a planet with the tank demo.

 

Converting plane into real 3D sphere is not possible. This is explained in the manual file, chapter Bend Types. And even on the store page description.

Converting plane into sphere isn't possible mathematically.

 

Hi i recently buyed the asset and i had this problem, im experimental with VR with openXr, and i can´t find the solved issue to this problem.
Im using
Unity 2021.3.14f
URP 12.1.8

Assets\Amazing Assets\Curved World\Editor\Material Editors\Builtin\LitShader.cs(19,66): error CS0103: The name 'headerStateKey' does not exist in the current context

Im do it all that of clear the chache of asset , and still dosent work, maybe i lose some point in the way to set up.

Thnx and sorry for my english XD.

 

Hey, having the same problem with URP 12.1.7 in Unity 2021.3.10f1

 

I solved the issue moving all to Unity 2021.3.25f

Hope that can fix your problem too

 

Try the latest 2021.3.x LTS version.

Unity version?

 

Hi there, wonder if you can help me out with Curved World issue. I'm using the little big planet bend type and all is well in the scene. However I wanted to add some 3D line drawing (via Vectrosity) so I assigned the appropriate material with a shader that was set to Bend Type Little Big Planet Y, with a Bend ID to 1 (like the other objects in the scene). I've also ensured that Vectrosity is actually drawing a 3D line!

However, when I drawn the line it doesn't appear to bend at all. You can see from the game and scene view that's it's not getting bent. I've also included the material I'm using. Thanks for any help!

 

Don't know how Vectrosity works, but if line is constructed using points (like in LineRenderer), then update positions of those points from script using TransformPosition method, instead of using material.
Check Non-Shader Bending example scenes how point lights positions are update there using this method to make them follow CW bending.
Also make sure Vectrosity line has enough points for achieving smooth curve.

 

Hey thanks for the reply. So I looked that the non shader examples. My points are static so before adding the vector3 position I performed the TransformPosition -

Code (CSharp):

1.  node = curvedWorldController.TransformPosition(node);

This seems to improve things (as you can see the path is bending when drawn), however, as the airplane follows the path (and the camera tracks the airplane), the line remains static, while the world beneath it moves which leads to the path intersecting the ground (see crash.png). Any further thoughts?
Thanks!

 

Do not use static points, update them on every (or fixed) frames.

 

Hey, nothing works, i've tried both 2021 LTS, 2022 LTS and 2023.
Some demo scenes are just completely green and others are just empty.
I'm using URP

 

A few of the scenes are visible, but no curving is applied.
One of these are "Bend - Spiral Horizontal Double (X)"

 

What is exact version of Unity 2021 you are using? Just tested with 2021.3.26 and everything works correctly at my side.
What OS are you using?

What do you mean scenes are empty?
Can you share screenshot of Hierarchy and gamemode views of those scenes?

 

I'm using 2021.3.26f1.
I'm on Linux (I've tried both on my arch and ubuntu distros).
Here's an image of the "Bend - Classic Runner (X Positive)" Scene.

 

That's very strange. Curved World is a simple vertex transformation method integrated into default shaders and itself it has no hardware requirements.
What about the very first tutorial explained in the Manual file (page 3) can you follow it? Unity's built-in shaders are used there.

BTW, are there any errors in the Console window related to the shaders or missing files?

 

No errors. I'm trying the tutorial

 

I don't even see the car when i enable it

 

All material preview are empty
