Linear color space in WebGL

Hello,
Is linear color space supported by WebGL? If not, is it going to be supported in near future? Or is there any workaround to force gamma color space to look as linear?
Thanks in advance.

 

It doesn't work currently because webGL uses openGL ES2, IIRC. It'll work when the next version of webGL hits browsers probably. For the time being, any technique that allows it on mobile currently should probably work on weBGL - I think there's a linear lighting package on the asset store that might work?

 

Unfortunately, GoLinear package works only with Unity 4, and I have not found any other.

As it says, it support EXT with sRGB. Hope they will support other formats

 

Where are we at now on linear lighting for WebGL2?

I checked the other day and I did see some discussion about supporting SRGB compressed textures in the chrome bugs mailing list, but I'm not sure if there was any progress.

Are you guys aware of any movement on this - as we move to full WebGL2 rollout for Firefox/Chrome?

It seems that WebGL is the last platform that we're looking at to support linear now, as we seem to have a good bit of mobile.

 

That's terrific. Publishing a single piece of content using two different lighting models is a real thorn in our side right now.

Linear in webgl can't come soon enough.

 

Just an FYI for anyone else following the progress on this:

The Chromium Bug (for google Chrome) is here:

Status: FIXED - will be in next release behind a flag as far as I know.

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=630498

The Firefox Bug

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1325113

Short story, full support (Angle/webgl platforms) was pushed to the latest chrome build yesterday (10th Jan 2016). Firefox is not started yet, but the bug is filed and prioritized.

 

Just thought I'd bring this up.

Now that this is in Canary in Chrome, would it be possible to enable linear as "(Experimental)" in 5.6 beta?

 

Any update on this?

 

Any good news for a future support?

 

Based off of @jonas-echterhoff original reply - is there a workflow to 'mimic' linear space when building for WebGL?
Planely speaking our exe looks perfect matching the editor display and outputting as expected based on our settings, with all the right colors from textures and lights, while the webgl build is - just not right.

Does webgl support uncompressed textures OR a different format other than sRGB for our texture?

We are building for mobile but deploying demos via webgl and the entire game is being created using 1 (one) 256x256 texture map, and we have 1 (one) light in the scene which has a minimal yellow color (255,253,225).

When we build to webgl it seems the color space change is affecting all texture colors by applying an overly saturated representation of the soft yellow light.
If I can change the texture to uncompressed when building for webgl or to a different format other than sRGB to keep the lighting consistent I will, instead of changing the light to unrealistic white.

Thanks all for keeping this topic ongoing.

SRGB compressed texture support now in Firefox beta. Will be coming with 55. Already supported in Chrome.

Do you know the tracking bugs for WebGL context support?

Always reasonable to mention why this matters though I know you guys are aware. Linear mode on cross platform content that needs to be on the web still gated by this. Looking forward to potentially having an experimental switch in the near future when everything is ready.

Keep up the good work.

 

YES!

 

Great!

Thanks for the update.

 

Hi! I saw a news slip, https://blogs.unity3d.com/ru/2017/06/22/linear-rendering-support-with-webgl-2-0/ , but it somehow deleted
