Lighting Box 2 Next-Gen Lighting Solution

This happens when you try to import LB2 from the store:

 

I did that in a new project. For me night still looks like this, i. e. standard skybox at night, no stars:

 

I was under the impression that the checkbox would activate/deactivate a feature. Apparently you have to set the skybox also to "None":



Then it looks like this:


Problem however is now that the moon is acting like a sun with the default LB settings:



Any ideas how to address this?

 

So nothing overridden

 

Yes, the solution is to not do what Unity suggests during the import. I still wonder though why Unity tries to change assets other than Lighting Box. Honestly I thought it would be a feature and necessity of LB2 to change files in order to work. Of course I accepted all suggested changes.

Do you have an idea how to solve the problem with the sun and the moon? See post above.

 

Are you arab

 

No

 

Wait to check it when i found some free time

 

Can you make a tutorial on how you achieve this scene

 

I'm going to release this asset in asset store
+ video tutorials

 

That issue will be fixed in 2.0.2 enviro update. Both assets including the NoiseVolume.bytes file from Volumetric Lighting Open Source project. That's why unity messes up the import.

Update 2.6 released:
https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/#!/content/93057
New samples and videos will be available only in 2.6 and Unity 2017.2+ from Assets->Lighting Box Updates

Tutorial's playlist videos with original quality uploaded into Update 2.6 updates window (Youtube videos are abit blury and has lower quality after upload)

 

Unity grass support....

 

Good idea:
Added translucency to my terrain shader + wind support (controlled from my terrain component or lighting box window)

 

New exclusive Nature tutorial + Lighting Box 2.6.1 grass shader and component for LB2.6 users (2017.2 needs for download)

 

Lighting is nice, but the grass looks stiff and too much of the same spread around. Real grass looks varied.

 

Is there any complete profile preset for Enviro?
Can anyone share this one?

 

New grass shader (terrain grass painter) + component for 2.6.1 (will be available few hours later (~10 hrs) :

5 New video tutorials about low poly (free assets) style lighting using Lighting Box 2.6.1 in unity 2017.2+ :

 

I used the scene you are using and gave it life. Well, actually fiery death, but let's not be picky

Lighting Box 2 is awesome. Still hoping for a moon solution in combination with Enviro

 

Enviro Compatible version has been uploaded into updates window:
Assets->Lighting Box Updates

 

^photogrammetry?

 

Grass + Trees from standard assets
Car and far stone (is not visible) form photogramentry
Terrain from lighting box shader
Grass shader from lighting box

using better tree and grass model's i will get a lot better result

New grass shader is really game changer I will upload more sample from this feature soon
Now i can confirm that i have reached to UE or Frostbite Quality level and integrated all features into the lighting box

 

Is the grass shader compatible with Vegetation Studio ?

 

I already get support from its author about integration. But currently i'm busy to learn VS workflow

i will take a look at today

Thanks, I just tried it. This is what the scene looks at night:



Any suggestion what I can do to fix this?

 

1. You must disable "Enabled" option in ambient tab
2. Check your Lighting Settings an make sure Enviro Skybox assigned and not default skybox . and remove sun flare from Sun

 

I already did all of that. I guess then there's no way of having Lighting Box 2 support Enviro other than to code it manually myself. The Enviro/Skybox isn't an asset you can use, at least I can't find it other than in the lighting settings. And I need to know about the moon, I want the flares of course when the Sun is visible. I created 2 posts if you are interested:

https://forum.unity.com/threads/rel...nd-weather-system.317986/page-33#post-3327255

 

So i can remove Ambient,Sun,Global Fog,Volumetric Light,Sun Shaft from lighting box for Enviro integration compatible

 

Good point. I'm hoping for @Vondox to answer. One problem is as mentioned the lens flares which I think should be handled by Enviro as well. Personally I think it might be good if you create a selection (dropdown box?) which enables / disables lb2 features and / or hides them. "Default" means all, "Enviro" disables what you posted. Just a suggestion, so that you don't have to maintain a dedicated Enviro compatible Unity package.

 

how do i disable image effects at runtime with code??

 

Code (CSharp):

1. GameObject.FindObjectOfType<LB_LightingBox_Helper>().ToggleEffects();

 

My new experiences on UE4 and Unity:
- Unity supports all 3d model formats (Unreal oonly supports FBX i think)
- unity can import whole model with same structure in 3d modeling softwares(You must import each model separately and placing models again in UE4 editor - Viewport manually)
- Unity shader compile speed is in miliseconds (Unreal Engine's shader compiler is too slow )
- Deleting files in UE is too slow (unity is fast as OS speed )
- you can bake in CG render quality even Emissive materials (UE don't support Emissive materials -i think )
Unreal++:
- You don't need import Lighting box or any post effect
- You don't need shader editor (material editor)
-Baking everything (normal map,tessellation ...)

Ali,

Is this:

part of an upcoming 2.6.1 update of lightingBox for mobiles ?

When should we expect that ?
