Fragmentum - Mesh fragmentation shader

Fragmentum is 100% GPU accelerated mesh fragmentation shader.
Initially made for Unity DirectX 11 contest (2nd Runner Up).

Support shader types: Mobile, SM2, SM3, DX11.

• Before start Fragmentum script prepares mesh for shader - generating some additional data and thus rebuilds it (only once).
• Shader fragments(displaces) objects using only their polygons(triangles). No new triangles are generated.
• Shader is not dedicated for Skinned Meshes, but still can be used with some restriction. Works only with DX11
• Fragmentum does not work with meshes, with more then 21.000 vertices. (Can be changed in the future)
• Fragmentum should be the only material on object.
• Shader does not require Unity Pro.
• DirectX11 version shader requires SM5 and Compute Shaders support.
• Package (Pro) contains all scenes from demo video - without cinematic animations. Epic Citadel not included.
• Demo scenes can not be used in any commercial or non-commercial projects.

about price?

 

Are you going to release this on the asset store and if so:
- when?
- what price?
- will it include all the demos in the video?

 

Any chance they could be with animation? They're really nicely done so it makes a nice learning ressource if they are.
Price sounds very fair

 

Also will you release other packages based on your DX11 entry? I'd like to see something on the asset store like your point cloud rendering solution

 

I have not thought about that. Why not.

 

Don't forget to bump when you submit!

 

Yeah, this is cool, I'd like to know more about it.

 

Hey, just saw the Fragmentum video and am excited to try it out. Let us know when it's up!

 

I have already submitted it, waiting for approval.

 

Approved.

 

WoW Arkhivrag is one of the best asset on the store i love how it works looks compless to use but is realy realy to use it i whant to see more staff from you thanks for you made it.

 

dx11 only or?

 

Only DX11

 

Hi i am very new to Unity and was really impressed with your defragment shader so i purchased it from the asset store... it seems though that there is a problem running it on my laptop (gtx560m)... there are effects i can t render ( the lines effect on the car demo) and for every demoscene i can t see the defragment happening... i am running on windows 7. do i have to assign something to the meshes ( i do get messages and errors like the main camera is not supported, the fragmentum shader is not assigned as material etc) but i would think that i should not be getting these messages on the demo scenes... as i ve said i just started with unity and would appreciate a more detailed description on how to at least run the demo scenes... cheers...

 

Why am I getting this error, and why does the script not appear to identify itself as a C# extension?



Even in the packaged demo scenes, this is all I get.

 

Hi,
Fragmentum is DirectX11 powered shader. To use it, switch Unity on Direct3D 11 in player settings:

 

@ Arkhivrag

Any chance you could post Fragmentum's documentation somewhere?

 

Actually, wanted to read the documentation to see if it would suit my project's needs. There's not much info in this thread on how to use these shaders, which shaders are included, etc. Information I just assumed would be in the documentation.

 

Here is documentation, which is inside package: Fragmentum ReadMe.pdf
Package contains all scenes from promo video, with explanations.

 

Thank you!

 

The file Fragmentum.Shader causes my OS to BSoD (bad_pool_caller on hal.exe) either on loading the project or running the game. For the time being I removed the Vacuum folder and all its traces from my project folder. I am using Win8 64bit and Radeon HD 7870. If you need more info, please ask away.

 

Hi.
1. Does the BSoD appear in the clean project, containing only Fragmentum?
2. Run this script in Unity, to check - SystemInfo.graphicsShaderLevel and SystemInfo.supportsComputeShaders.
3. If BSoD appears in the clean project, containing only Fragmentum, can you send me - Editor.Log file

Shader itself can not be the cause of BSoD , it may compile or not.
I have built and tested it only on my GTX 660M with Win8 x64.

 

1. Not yet, tested all examples. Encountered a lot of Fragmentum warnings in all of them.
2. Shader level is set to 50, compute shaders is set to true
3. Still testing.

The crashes appeared first when I changed the particle system Fragments into a box emitter.

 

Fragmentum warnings may appear only if shader is not compiled.



Particles used in scenes are not part of Fragmentum package, you can delete them.


Please, run Fragmentum in clean project with DirectX11 enabled, and if there are any warnings send me Editor.log file. Unity's editor log (Console -> Open editor log). From here I can not determine warnings reason.

 

In a clean environment examples work without warnings or errors.

I will try to reproduce the BSoD in my working project.

 

Hello, I have a doubt, does Fragmentum changes the mesh? or is it only a visual effect?

Thanks in advance.

 

Fragmentum does not change mesh, it rebuilds mesh to generate additional data necessary for the shader. Mesh remains the same.

 

I just tried to import Fragmentum into my game project and it crashed my OS with a wonderful BSoD (same as above).

 

Send me Editor.log file.
And can you send me your scene, (with minimum data). I will see what is the problem there.

 

Do you need anything specific(like conflicting includes) from the log file? I got two log files located in my AppData/Local/Unity/Editor folder: editor.log and editor-prev.log and the prev is really big. Do you need both of them and all data ?

Since most of the stuff is procedurally generated it won't do much to send a specific scene. The architecture looks like this: empty game object which holds most game logic, a terraincomposer file, multiple terrains that are parented under a common empty object and a unistormparent. Everything else is generated at runtime.

 

Check PM

 

What is the difference with the full version?

 

Hey, Arkhivrag.

I was heavily considering purchasing Fragmentum the other day as it may (with some modification) fit an old project idea I had. However when I cracked open up the Free version to take a look, I got various errors and could not get it to work. I've tried it on multiple computers with different versions, with both Free and Pro versions of Unity, however I only got the same result. Here's a screenshot of what the sample scenes look like for me, straight out of an import to a fresh project.

​

As I said, it might just be me, but I doubt it. If you could please send up update to Unity or a fix, that'd be great. I'd love to get this working, but I don't want to pork out thirty bucks on the chance it might not work. I'd have just sent you an email as-well, but I couldn't find it anywhere. Thanks either way.

 

Fragmentum Free contains 1 diffuse shader without lightmapping support , two demo scenes, documentation and has watermark. Does not support fragment rotation, fragment randomization and SkinnedMeshes.
Full version contains 13 shaders with controlling - diffuse, bump, reflection, transparency, dissolving effects with lightmapping support and all scenes from promo video. Also Free version will not be updated with further improvements, except bug fixing, if there are any.

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

New version is available

Update 1.2
• Memory used by StructuredBuffers reduced -60%
• Compiled shader size reduced -50%
• New Extrude3D shader (converts fragments into volumetric 3D objects, unlit)
• Added two new displace types (Directional and Radial)
• Added fragments scale randomizer
• Lightmapping supports Unlit shaders and Unity built in primitives
• Dissolve shader effects only fragments
• Separate control of dissolve, gloss, reflection and emission through InfoTexture

 

Have you ever thought of converting this over to an OpenGL/DirectX equivalent? Not quite sure how this works, so excuse me if this is a ridiculous question. I just ask as I'm developing on Mac and would prefer to have the project support Mac, which isn't really an option at this point in time as this shader is DirectX11 only.

 

Already working on SM3 version. But it has several limitations. If I have successes, it will be part of the package.

 

i just downloaded the free version and opened the demo village scene and am getting nothing but errors running latest unity3d indie dx11 and textures are not showing up


Material doesn't have a texture property '_FragTex'
UnityEditor.DockArea:OnGUI()

Material doesn't have a float or range property '_FragTexStrength'

...

i mean it goes on and on and one

the models are like all in pink...

when i click on a model Fragmentum (Script)

gives me Warning : Not FranctumMaterial
?

But its this asset and nothing more clean project!

please help, thanks in advance!

 

@im
Pink model means that shader is not compiled.
Fragmentum requires DirectX11, SM5 and Compute Shaders support.
Run this script to check hardware capabilities. Script will print your shader model level (it should be 50 or more) and your ComputeShaders support.

I have submitted Fragmentum Free v1.0.2 which will fix some bugs, maybe yours too.

 

So I assume this means Fragmentum won't work on mobile or macs?

I was going to buy it but I'm developing a multi-platform game, just a suggestion. It would be awesome if you could create a mac/ios compatable game, I would pay much more for it too, and I'm sure many others would too.

Besides that, its awesome, when I tested it on my windows laptop, it looked awesome, i highly recommend it and I would get it if it wasn't for that limitation.

Thanks, and good luck.

 

Fragmentum and Subsurface Scattering shaders
are worthy to be shown on Unite 2013 developer conference in Vancouver.

Fragmetum 2 Mobile (WIP) - Deconstruction of the Epic Citadel

 

Wow that looked very pretty, such a nice implementation of Fragmentum

 

WOW!

 

Hey, Arkhivrag,

I'm currently working on a project in Unity stumbled upon Fragmentum which looks awesome. Does it run on mobile? If not, are there plans to make a mobile version?

Thanks,

 

Coming soon

 

would be great if work on mobile.
