Lighting Box 2 Next-Gen Lighting Solution

You are using 2D texture instead of mesh?

 

Yes
2d is looks more realistic than 3d grass mesh (3d is more looks like to cartoon style)
Also 3d grass is unusable in big scenes

 

is the new build good for VR and mobile IOS?

 

The included volumetric scattering does not work in VR

 

Is not for mobile because has :
1. Grass system
2. Volumetric Lights
3. Eye adaption (HDR)
4. Antialiazing
5. Realtime GI

 

1. 120 fps
2. 90 fps
3. 77 fps
all in 1080P gtx 960

what's your lighting config for nighttime?

 

Demo lighting setup

 

Previous setup was on old Post Processing Stack package (form demo)
new one with better Eye-Adaption

 

new eye adaptation appears on Google Drive?

 

Not yet

 

Just killing the Chromatic Aberration has helped heaps between those two shots.

 

try it with a RenderPeople model

 

After optimization, all models will be same
my model was 370.000 tri and it's now 12.000 tri

 

I didn't know that Unity grass can be made to look this good even though. I will definetelly need to try this.

 

Premium version has been completed:

New post effects
Vehicle controller
Character controller from standard assets
More documentations
~50 models with pbr textures

 

I'm working to integrate unity Stylistic fog into lighting box

 

the lighting box pro offers interior lighting or is it the same?

 

Lighting Box Pro is only for outdoor scene
Interior scene demo is an separate package

 

How does all this run in current VR setups and hardware limitations. Will all your image effect setups work in VR such as they look on desktop. Would love to give this a try and see how the fps holds up in rift, vive and also for gear vr.

 

I only used unity own effects,shaders and tools. So the asset already is compatible with all supported platforms by unity (Except unity limitations on certain platforms like mobiles)
The only problem is True Volumetric Light asset that's only work on DX11 and GL4.
So you can use Volumetric Fog instead (unity Stylistic Fog)
All my demos has used unity own terrain shader,Standard shader and post effects.
My goal is maximum performance
Also i planned to add sunShaft effect to use it instead of volumetric light on unsupported platforms like webGl

 

For those worried about the fps drop on large scenes in unity, i just make a simple destruction sample scene with zero performance cost:
GTX 960, 4790K,1080P,3.5 m triangles
Graphics on maximum quality (volumetric lights, dynamic shadows and ...). ~100 destructible column. Fps was equal with or without destruction
Physics processing on profiler : min 1 ms max 24 ms

 

cool...can create a simple script for emit spark on body collision....thx

 

When will this be released on the asset store.

 

Uploaded for review by asset store team yesterday.
Will be available a few weeks later

 

Yes. I will add more effects and features

 

Proper lighting setup with lighting box

really thx ^^

 

Don't forget that LightingBox is not a new set of shaders or effects. All shaders are from unity free assets.
It's just a quick way to setup all settings for everyone in a short time.

A guy feedback:

Yes. It's already used unity own effects and shaders. But you can setup scene lighting with a few clicks using lighting box window. Also i already tested different assets,shaders and effects over 1-3 month and the current config is based on my 1-3 month working on lighting settings.
"read a bit of documentation" will takes a few month to find similar setups and re setup for every project or scene again again again
You can save your lighting setup into profiles when you are using lighting box. Also lighting box already has been used a best optimization solutions and settings for all shaders and post effects.
What is lighting box:
- Pre config settings for Post effects, volumetric lights, volumetric fog
- Automatically add all necessary scripts and settings into camera and game objects
- All in one window for all project lighting settings
- Useful shortcuts
- Log system to show and fix error automatically
- It's easy to use for everyone even for my own..

Thi is not easy to combine and setup AO,Eye-Adaption and color grading all together that was works on all scene types.
That's what Unreal and Cry do. artist friendly workflow

 

Is there a lighting box or will there be one for unity version 5.5.0. My current project has to be in this version so would be great if you made it for say unity 5.4 and above if you can?

 

Yes it's possible. I will remove PLM fro baked mode and it should be works on 5.4+

Please send a photo without effects
Also tell me about terrain shader

 

What water system, Aquas?

 

Shader terrain is MegaSplat asset.
