Lighting Box 2 Next-Gen Lighting Solution

I'm not seeing 1.3 on the asset store. Have you released it yet?

 

It's pending, as he states in his post in this thread.

 

Changed to Ctrl+E

 

OK. Wait for test

 

New discount for my archviz lighting kits (was 15$, now 10$) :

Interior Lighting Kit (VR-Mobile-Standalone)

ArchViz Lighting Kit (Paris)

 

New speed level design series for Lighting Box 1.3:

 

Without any plugin using free assets

Still waiting for the v1.3 on the assets store :c

 

If you already purchased the asset, send me a pm here

 

Free assets only, look great

 

This thread is like a content feed of pretty renders using unity. Very fun to see what Ali and others share.

 

Does it work for Unity WebGL ?

 

Yes
How to use :
1. Disable Volumetric Light
2. Disable Eye-Adaptation
3. Use 2017.2 version for Linear color space support
4. Disable Screen Space Reflections
5. Assign 512 mb+ RAM in player settings
6. Disable Realtime GI

 

Congrats! Your Unity Asset Store package 'Lighting Box (Next-Gen Lighting Solution) - 1.3' has been accepted

Note : There are an small bug in the global fog script. Just drag GlobalFog.shader into shader slot of the Global Fog script on the camera.

Note 2 : New sample projects has been uploaded into my server but it will takes a few hours to be available for download.

 

I have this script errors, at the "night" scene the camera don`t have a global fog script (I delete my postprocess folder before import) What i do wrong?

 

You already have GlobalFog script in your image effects files. find and remove it. Also remove GlobalFog.shader from your image effects

 

I deleted all my image effects folders and files and reimport ligthbox package, one of error are fixed but the first still here:

 

PD: I tried to delete the vehicle folder and the errors are fixed. Is this folder important to the package or extra content stuff?

 

vehicle folder is not important for lighting

 

Can anyone upload this asset for me?
I get error in 99%

Check your PMs

 

In LightBox:

Lighting Mode: Realtime GI
Lights Type: Mixed

But if I view any of the lights in my scene, it will say it's being forced to use Realtime even though it's set to Mixed.
If I go into the Lighting Window, I can check the Realtime GI and the Mixed Lighting boxes so I can use both.



Any reason LightBox lets me to only use one?

 

Mixed realtime GI with Baked is not available in lighting box.

 

Gaia default test :

 

How about for mobile support ?

 

Some test from mobile version (My target is most optimized settings for most low-end devices ):
- Custom optimized shaders (Glass,reflective cubemap,particle,shaft)
- Billboard lighting integrated with Light Projector
- Cubemap generator + demo + tutorials

 

Glass shader, Building shader and reflective shader test (Mobile diffuse)

 

Is Lighting Box compatible with mobile (iOS)?

 

It's not designed for mobile platforms
I'm working on mobile support. Maybe I can get a good result

 

LightingBox 1.3 for Unity 5.4 and 5.5 version is available. Contact me to get download link

 

LightingBox 1.3 default settings :
Note : Select default post processing profile and disable SSR for maximum performance on outdoor scenes

 

New surprise achieved with LightingBox 1.3 :

 

Previous images was from non-Realtime GI mode.
Now i have tested Enlighten Realtime GI :

 

Thanks for the 1.3 update! The profiles that you provided look much better now imo. The colors don't look washed out now, compared to 1.2.

 

I'm working on a new terrain shader with tessellated displacement feature
I'm not sure if I can complete it or not

 

is that amplify shader??

 

Yes it has been made using Amplify Shader Editor.
I already created terrain splat shader using shader forge in the past, but with Amplify Shader now i can add displacement support into my shader too

The hard part is that reading terrain splat map texture and assign it into shader using script

 

- Completed splat and displacement shader
- Completed simple splat and terrain data updater (Copy data from terrain to shader)
- Tested performance (60fps+ with 4.3 tessellation intensity )
Will be available in lighting box 1.3.2 for free.

Road Map :
- Complete smoothness and metallic support
- Create different shaders for normal map and AO support
- Updating script to make it automatic
- Integrating into lighting box window

 

-Added Smoothness
- Added normal map

I am having trouble getting this integrated into an existing project
Are the instructions from the first page regarding gamma vs linear setups (7 steps) still valid? After changing everything, I get a very dark scene that is so delayed with motion blur and other processing that the game is hardly visible. Obviously I am doing something wrong, but I didn't expect this much of a headache - oh well. The deal breaker for me at the moment though is the fact that it triggers a "Determining assets that ned to be reimported for target platform" every time I enter or exit play mode via the editor - a process which takes about 20 minutes to get through each time. Any idea what would be prompting it? Any assistance would be appreciated, thank you.. really amped up to get this working as it looks great.

 

Forget Gamma color space for non-mobile devices. All lighting box settings are based on Linear color space. Also all game engines (UE4, cry ...) used Linear.

To fix re import issue, you must create a new profile for your each scene and drag it to lighting box Profile slot.
After that, your settings will be saved into profile.
Don't change color space if you don't want to re import your assets again.

Also disable DX9 API from Edi->Project->Player settings . DX9 no longer supported in upcoming unity versions (will be deprecated)

 

Thanks, I'll change those up now and let you know if it reimports again. (The asset reimport on changing between gamma and linear is expected, just not in between playing and editor. Figured it might be because I didnt import the asset properly, just copied the folder over from a empty project)

 

Trying out the UE4 preset. This one feels more natural and doesn't overblow everything. I like a little more bloom in my scene but sometimes it's nice to just let it feel this way to.

 

wat assest are you using for vegetation

 

Try higher intensity on Sun light and see result
If it does not work, try increasing bloom from post effect profile
Current bloom intensity is good enough for mid-bright scenes.

Also you can use white or bright green color as Ambient light to get realistic look

 

Thanks aliyeredon2 ill mess with those settings. I'm using this pack from the store. https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/3076 The rocks are from another pack and I just overlayed vegetation on them using mesh brush.

 

I think I am having trouble with this:

"Linear space won't make your scene look better by itself simply because there is not enough precision on your screen to show all the range of the HDR colors. This will introduce a foggy kind of look, and you must either fix it with a contrast oriented tonemapper (better) or with Color Grading (OK, but has precision issues)."

I am experiencing the foggy / blurriness and general loss of image quality.
Is there some sort of solution in built in Lightbox or does it assume a basic knowledge of using linear colour space? My project is set up in gamma.. I might need to leave this asset for later / other projects based on my ignorance of linear colour modes unfortunately
