De-Lighting Tool

Hello Cyril

Having the same problem as Monarkmedia on [Jan 10, 2018] I was following De-lighting Tutorial - Unity Official Tutorials and had a good result and when trying to export the texter it crashed every time 10+ times so I updated to unity from 2017 to 2018 and same proses all I get is the black texter

I am noticing this error on the page
property_(_SourcePos) at kernel index (0) is not set
found forums that lots of people not understanding what it is
could this be part of the problem?

 

Hey, we are getting the same problems as other people when trying to use the tool.

1) If the optional param "Position" is not set, this error is logged
Property (_SourcePos) at kernel index (0) is not set

2) If the optional param "Mask" is not set, this error is logged
Property (_SourceMask) at kernel index (0) is not set

3) When all params are set correctly, the Delit texture is completely black.

Thanks

 

I have the same problem with a black result for the Unlit Map. A solution would be very much appreciated

 

Hey guys! Tool is working well on 2017.4. Try this out.

 

2017.3 == 2017.4. There are no differences between 2017.3 and 2017.4 except bug fixes. This tool obviously needs to be updated to support 2018.x.

 

Hi, I have this banding problem with the delighting tool. Do you know what causes this?

 

I'm experiencing the same kernel error as @bobinc6 and @Javaddicted with Unity 2018.2.0.f2.
It's just black.
@Cyril-Jover Can you fix this? And thank you for this tool!

 

I've been testing this out for a couple of days and thanks to this thread finally solved the problem of all black output. Now it's working but it has sharp lines, almost like a big grid over it. My model is a photogrammetry scan (Reality Capture) that I retopologized and baked all the textures in 3D-Coat. I don't see these lines in any of the texture maps.

 

Hi,

I just downloaded he latest version from the asset store, using unity 2018.1, windows 10 with a GTX 1060. I followed the instructions exactly (used world normal etc). I baked the data from my mesh using substance designer. Unfortunately the folder drag and drop process would not recognise my base image, even though it is saved with the same resolution as all of the other maps (8192x8192). I saved the base color image as a tiff, to preserve the alpha channel in a lossless format the other textures are png.
I changed the resolution manually in the unity input settings to 8192 and then dragged it into the base texture slot which leads me to the below result when i try to "Compute". how do i get a result with this tool? do i need to use a different unity version?


Thanks!

 

here is another screen grab, where you can see the console output...

 

just an update,
looks like the system is running out of memory for some reason...
is this a known bug?

 

I haven't seen you're problem but as people noted above there is an issue with it coming out all black in 2018.x . That issue doesn't happen in 2017.x so you might want to use the older version anyway. FYI when I downgraded I had to completely uninstall, as well as deleting any folders related, including ones in this folder.
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Unity Projects\New Unity Project\Assets
Before installing the 2017.x version

 

Alternatively, you can install 2017.x alongside 2018.x and then use a project there to convert, then export them/copy them into your 2018.x project. All you need to do to install multiple versions is change the installation path.

 

Huh, I was trying to do just that and didn't see the option. I guess I just missed it.

 

Doesn't work for me... The right side of a switcher is pure black. What I'm doing wrong?

 

broken on 2018.2

 

I've also tried with various bakes/settings over the past few days, but all my results have been pure black on the right side.

 

Same issue here, frustrating finally figuring it out and it doesn't work... Funny, I think I only get about 20% of what I work on in Unity to actually work... bad timing every time I guess?

 

Say, how about to make this tools as a standalone. So people can using it without unity editor? This way you guys doesn't have to update this tools everytime new unity released?

 

Is this only for 2018.2.19f1?
I tried on 2018.3.f2 and I get the same black screen. I also checked the asset store and GitHub to see if there was an update and there isn't. So I'm guessing 2018.2.19f1 is the only recent version supported?

 

I was using 2017.4 LTS, don't remember which increment. That was working fine then I upgrade the project to 2018.3.0f2 after I saw your post.

After the update, it went back to displaying black and the errors showed up as everyone else got when using a version not supported.

 

Is xNormal the best way to generate the required maps? Does anyone know a good way to do it inside Unity?

 

Hi,i am having some issue about delighting tool. There are some problems in unity3D.What should i do?

 

Hello,

There is clearly an issue with 2018.3.0f2. I'm also experiencing the black rendering issue. I also have Unity 5.6.5f1 and in that one the rendering is okay.

 

I'm generating the maps inside xNormal. We also tried it with Marmoset. With the ones which I tried, I prefer the results coming out from xNormal. The results inside the Delighting tool (Unity...) are better. I did not played that much with the settings, etc. to figure out why...

 

Hi，how to get this alpha map?

 

HI!


How to do the alpha mask ? My result was the black

 

!SOLVED!: updating nvidia video driver from 398* to the current one 417.35 solved black output for me
also: watch out for srgb toggle on textures, all textures except color should not be srgb

Hello, i am getting black output in 2018.3.0f2 too with this in console:
"Property safetyZoneParams in data context is not of a valid UnityEngine.Vector4
UnityEngine.GUIUtilityrocessEvent(Int32, IntPtr)"
update: test content(rock) freezes unity

 

Can you please edit the readmes to make it clear this only works in 2017.4 atm?

 

Switched to 2017.4.18f1 and it's not black, but I'm getting colored squares all over the result. I'm trying to delight a headscan and I've tried reducing the BC's alpha to just the face, using a mask for just the face, rebaking normals and AO. Could there be an issue with uninstalling 2018 and installing 2017? Could it be because I'm using a Radeon GPU?

 

Had this problem also but now works. If it may help anyone, i'm using 2017.4.2 LTS, the problem I had is that in baking in XNormals, I was not baking the object space normals map correctly. It worked when I baked Normal map and untick Tangent space in the Normal map option. Cheers

 

Hi, did you solve your problem? I am having the same one. It is frustrating...And I can't find that anyone else had that problem...

 

Hi Guys,

I am having the same issue. Only I am using 2017.3.1 and I got it working a few times with other map sets. Only with this last map set I am getting the black map issue.

I have uploaded the maps in question. Can someone please have a look at them and tell me what I am doing wrong.

Nevermind, It turns out that my colour/exposure picker was on an empty spot

 

Why is this tool not being updated again? I'm just curious.

 

I don't know where the problem is.-Try again.Please help me.

 

你解决了这个问题吗？

 

Hey!

So I just started using the tool and wanted to plug in an asset to figure out how this works.
I watched your video and tried to follow along, including the naming convention.
I also installed Unity 2017.4 since as far as I saw on the forums it was not clear if it works or not past that version.

The issue that I have is that the result is black! I saw that some other users had a similar issues (a few pages back) but didn't see any solution being posted or a cause for the issue.

Is there anything in particular that I can try in order to fix it?
Are there specific settings on the images that I should double check and make sure they are in order? (barely used Unity several years ago so I don't know my way around that well)
If needed, I have no problem in making a package and sending it for troubleshooting.

Cheers!
Dan

Screen with how it looks atm:

 

Is there any particular strategical reason why such a great tool isn't being updated for almost 2 years now?
