Lighting Box 2 Next-Gen Lighting Solution

Hi aliyeredon2,

when I look at all yout posts here, when do do you sleep?

 

12:00 pm to 7:00 am

 

Terrain shader has been completed an will be available few day later on the asset tore : (Contact me to get it before release)
- Now everything will depend on your textures
- Easy to use workflow
- Some videos about how to use it

 

I just dropped in to say you are a genius. Even Frostbite is basic, as I had analyzed these game engines during BF3. Someone had to come up with this and you did. I bought your asset. Congratulations.

 

The new version with terrain leaves when?

 

Possibly the best video to be created in this whole thread, and that's saying something. Brilliant.

This video should be on the unity store.

Are the textures included? If not where can we get them.

 

thank you

Everything will be included in final package(now has 184 mb package size)

I will add more sample scene and videos (Snow,Spring autumn...)

 

Uploaded now
will be available a few days later. Contact me with your invoice number to get it now

 

Unity 5.5 test

 

unity 5.4.1 test

 

Hello. Is it possible to use a Weather System, such as ENVIRO together with Lighting Box?
If so, can you do some tutorial explaining how? Its lighting system is excellent, I would like to use it with ENVIRO

 

Did a camera fly thru of the Autumn scene with some fitting background music.
I used RTP, speed trees and grass, unity tree creator trees and the Horizon lightingbox preset.

 

Send me an screenshot from Default preset

 

From customer's video (Migueljb)

 

Here's the Autumn Scene Lightingbox window.

What I did notice tho is in the camera global fog script by default the height is unchecked and when I check it lightingbox always turns it back off on play. Maybe have it in lighting box to be able to use both if you want.

 

just dropped you a message

 

No. Send me screenshot from your game view with "LightingBox_UE_4_Default" post processing profile

 

LightingBox is a quick way to adjust scene lighting settings:
- Sun settings
- Ambient source settings
- Post processing settings
- Lens flare
- Volumetric light
- Fog
- Depth of field
- Terrain shader
and ...

Most Weather Systems or day/night cycle systems has controlling on the Fog,Ambient and sun settings. So you cannot use Lighting box fog,ambient and sun features.
Other settings will be available to modify
These are some test from a guy on ENVIRO

 

Hi i have a question,

when i have a weater system like enviro or unistorm why and how can i use your light system ?

 

Why
1. Save your time (very quick light setup in seconds)
2. High quality lighting settings
3. Terrain shader
4. A Lot of videos
5. Maximum performance

Used CTS and lighting box, took me about 45 mins. It's really amazing how effective the lightings and post proc are in such a short amount of time.

 

coverpage wow amazing screenshots

 

I can't find lighting box terrain script. Did I miss something?

 

Thanks. I really like Ali's work this version (latest one he sent via pm). It's even easier to make things look realistic now.

If you ask from him for latest version via pm, you'll get the one I'm using. This asset uses the post processing stack and other effects assets which are free. But the author has spent alot of time tuning presets and light setup to make things look good. Open up the lighting box window (I think from "window") and drag and drop setting files and hit refresh.

The latest version included a tessellation shader that you can use. The idea is that now you don't need to pay for a terrain shader to achieve good outdoors scenes.

 

can you send it to me, please? or I need to ask a dev himself.

 

You'd probably have to ask him yourself with the invoice number. he's very responsive.

 

He going offline for a while I think I should wait unitil tomorrow or can i send you my invoice number?

 

why is it when I import your asset its importing it as a full project which will wipe out all my project settings?

 

This is because the asset is in the category "Complete Projects" on the asset store
It's good for beginners to get correct lighting settings by default

You can import the asset into a blank project and drag files into your project
My settings changes :
Only dx11 API (player settings)
Deferred rendering (Graphics settings)
Linear color space (Player settings)

 

I couldn't find good snow textures :

 

is the new terrain stuff DX11 only? i imported the version you've sent me via PM and the terrain is black
oh, unity 2017.1.0f3 & MacOSX
found the issue - its the material: cant use materials with shaders which need tangent geometry on terrain. use shaders in Nature/Terrain instead

 

Code (CSharp):

1. cant use materials with shaders which need tangent geometry on terrain. use shaders in Nature/Terrain instead

This is not important

To fix the issue, got to player settings and only use OpenGL Core (or Vulkan ) as Graphics API

Also open the shader and then add glcore and vulkan to exclude renderer list

Also you can remove dx11,xbox and ps4 from list for mac systems

I have no Lighting Box Terrain script, where is it found?

 

did all that and its still black, no error message tho

 

if you have Amplify Shader Editor, you can compile it directly

if not, select your shader (Terrain 6 Layer) and see inspector about messages

 

Uploaded into asset store
Will be available today or tomorrow
contact me to get it now if you already purchased the lighting box

 

Pm'd you

 

Got it, thanks!
Using 2017.2.b9, no problems.

 

Win or Mac ?

 

Pretty amazing, fun to play with!

Windows

The only thing I found that has an easy workaround, is if I want to change one of the textures on the script, I have to open the actual material for it to update, doesn't happen just in the script UI.

 

Are there steps to import the needed utilities into an already established game project?
This would be more efficient (I think) than importing a 150 GB project into a Lighting Box project.

 

1. Read doc

2. Import Shaders and Scripts folders into your new project (+ post stack + Volumetric light folders)

 

I'm starting to work on Post Processing Stack 2 integration
New stack 2 has a bit different settings and is a bit harder than stack 1 for beginners. But don't worry. I have converted stack 1 profiles into 2 :


stack 2 :
- A bit better performance
- Has mobile optimized option (only works on iOS currently)
- Volume support

 

Curious - Will this asset work in VR? I'm using realtime lighting on a rather dark game but would love to use this to help me out with lighting.

Hi mate, thanks for your work!

I want to buy this, but one question: is ready for Unity 2017?
