Feedback Wanted: Visual Effect Graph

I can't really find any tutorial for the vfx graph for chaining an effect between multiple objects, do you know what I would have to do to get it to go from enemy 1 to enemy 2.

 

I think i found the proper nodes for it, I tried looking around the forums to see what others have done, I have tried it without, and with normalize, and same for the remap but nothing seems to be working

 

Hi there,

how can I edit the shader from Graph VFX? Also how about Asset Bundle ? Do those shader compile every time we instantiate an effect?

 

Is it possible to initilize a vfx graph like already some time went ago and particles already emitted at some life span? I start a level with a cutscene but in the first shots you cannot see all effects because the particles are not spread through the scene yet. So I need to emulate there already running when scene starts.

 

Thanks for the very fast answer, that was the settings I was looking for!
Does the prewarm has some negative side-effects on the performence at scene loading?

 

Yah, thank you for fast answer. Thats unusual for unity forum.


Btw, Is this beta? All my projects on this company are using unity 2017/2018 and is very stable, we start some R&D using unity 2019 and I'm having many issues (Mac Users, PC user looks to be ok).

- OSX Crash, it just crash restarting the pc, GPU panic error or some other error. Again, is not Unity Crash, is all the System. (at least 10 times a day), same PC I use to other projects with no issues (Unity 2017/2018)
- Editor Screen very buggy, it start flashing, icons disapear, can't drag, freeze for some seconds.
- Still can't use my own shader (was trying to make a simple 2 texture scroll shader for testing)
- Finally, to use Graph VFX I need to setup Metal Editor Support on MAC. (is still experimental?) That also give me graphic glitches using 2 monitors.

Thanks again!

 

1. Is it possible to directly read the attribute buffers in a script. I would like to use vfx graph to do physarum like animations that would require to render particles into a render texture to create density maps that I would feed back into vfx graph.

2. Related to one but other use case: I used vfx graph to patch led animations. I would like to get the color values to be able to send them using artnet.

3. Any plans to extend vfx graph as a sort of more generic compute shader pipeline?
