image effect per object ? = using screen-buffer masks

I found this here very interesting in the web:

You are able to limit the "image effects" to a region or an object. But its a bit too complex for me. Can anybody explain it in an other way? Or can anybody make a simple working scene and provide it here in the forum? Thanx

 

Hey again,
I looked quickly at the link in your post, it seems to be useful for a fluid simulation project I had begun earlier (see here).

The physics was done but I needed a technic for rendering. There are many existing technics like marching cubes, generated surface mesh, and others, but the more elegant and performant I think is to do things in the screen space (see this GDC NVIDIA presentation). I tried to apply this technic in Unity, I had a little first success but I have the problem that the technic was applied on all things viewed by the camera and I wanted to apply it only on the fluid object.

Maybe the link in your post can help me solving this problem, after pushing Diamond well, I will revisit this post again and maybe make an awesome fluid simulator for Unity

 

Hey,

for all image effects in Unity, they are working somehow to the fullscreen, the whole screen. What i wanted, is to get image-effects only applied to specific objects. But it seems not possible in Unity. That makes me very sad :-(

But i am glad if the link, can help you further for your fluid-dynamics project. Looks good, so far. There is obifluid3 , but somehow its results looks more like glue-fluid. No nice water simulation.

 

When having Diamond in an advanced stage and having time for the fluid I will look more in detail at this subject.

You are right for the appearance of obifluid3 that doesn't look like a natural water, but since the tool is advanced (support multiphase and it is a general frame that can simulate clothes and deformable solids), since it is advanced like that, I think it is possible to enhance its appearance by good shading technics like the one of Invidia (screen space).
