I dont see an area to download?

 

Wait a few minutes

 

ok

 

Added

 

does it work on interior scenes as well?

 

My goal was outdoor
I will test it for interior. But maybe its needs few customizations for interior
I will make another one for my Interior Lighting Kit that's focused on interior settings
Initial test with realtime GI

 

That's great..looking forward for it

 

great man!!!!! another upgrade ^^

New settings with blue highlights (UE4 way)
Use new settings file (LightingBox_Blue_Halo) and drag BlueDirt texture into Dirt slot of the Bloom effect

 

Added different post effect setups

 

A few new screenshots from improved Post Effects setup:

 

UFPS

 

Looks cool...Thanks bro for making it free

 

Don't forget:

1. Your rendering path must be Deferred (edit->project->graphics)

2. Color space should be Linear (player settings)

3. Graphic API should be DX11 for HDR and DX9 for non HDR (Player Settings)

4. DX11 only for volumetric Lighting (Player Settings )

5.Allow HDR should be on in camera component (Inspector)

6. Allow MSAA should be disabled in the Camera component (Inspector)

7. Shadows should be activated in quality settings (edit->project-> quality)

Specially when you have imported a new complete project(for example UFPS) you must re setup this 7 steps again for your project

Great work! Your sample scenes are beautiful!

 

Road Map:
- Working on PBR and materials
- More rocks and models
- Fixing bugs
- Night sample
- Interior Sample
- Switching between different post effects based on area

Simple translucency shader using Amplify Shader Editor (Skin Shader)

 

مشکلش چیه ؟

 

you need the unity 5.6+ with Progressive Lightmapper for baked mode

 

Thank you man If I had a problem I'll tell you

 

Snow scene:

 

Do we need the original download plus the patch or does the patch file have all the of the scripts?

 

Patch is just 3 settings file. You need to override those into original files.

 

You mentioned DX11 - so, it doesent work on a mac?

 

DX11 needs for pc. I don't know about image effects support in mac. Also follow the True Volumetric Light link about mak support

 

Beta 2:
I saw a number of videos from E3 and i change abit lighting settings:

 

will you be releasing your beta 2 as well?

 

yes
maybe tomorrow

 

Looking for to see this on archviz

 

I'm working on WebGL Lighting Box to get nextgen lighting on webgl (paid 10$)

WebGL Limitation:
1. OpenGL ES3.0
2. No Eye adaption
3. No liner color space
4. No precomputed realtme gi


my solutions:
1. Mobile specific image effect setup
2. Fake trigger based HDR
3. Best settings for Gamma
4. Baked ambient light + realtime lights (stingray and GTA V solution )

 

WEBGL

 

Are you going to put the free version on the asset store?

 

Free version has a bit limitation

1. No debug mod to automatically detect wrong settings and fix its problem
2. No free models
3. webgl and mobile has only paid version

 

I decided to make it completely free

Latest version:
- Save and load from profiles
- Better setups
- Logs errors mode with automatically solve issue feature
- Added more settings

 

Hi,

Are you going to put a paid version without those limitations?
Thanks!

 

From where can I download it? Thanks for making it free!

 

Current next gen version is completely free

I will upload it today

 

wow thanks! can't wait to try it

 

Added light probe proxy mode (Automatic)

 

When you will put it on the asset store?

 

It's completed now. I'm going to complete doc and upload it here. wait a few hours

 

Great stuff

 

Wow. I'm speechless. This is one of the most impressive progresses I have ever seen in Unity.
