Graphics MF.SSGI [V1.0 LIVE] - Bridging the gap between URP and HDRP - Global Illumination & Occlusion

Hello,

I sent a DM with my Discord linked. It may not have notified you, but I'd like to see if we can work this out soon. I've played with my Discord settings in case it squashed a friend request.

 

I got that too in unity2022.3 urp14 forward+. I got a lot of noise like that picture until I enable use deferred rendering. I don't know why deferred function work in forward+, and the tooltip says it's editor only but it will influence the camera view.
Another problem is that it does change the shadow very frequently when move the camera.
And Show in scene view still works even when I disabled the renderer feature.

 

Hi,

About the sceneview: The default URP renderer is used by the sceneview-cam, so perhaps there are multiple renderers in the project?

The shadows can update realtime if you pick the single-frame presets. The reprojected presets work best in playmode as it uses motion-vectors of previous frames

 

Not sure if this is just me but the latest update, the SSGI resolution causes some pixeliaztion. Is this normal?

 

I have some questions here.

1.Why the renderer feature creates 1.4kb GC per frame, it would cause performance problem.
2.The Icon in scene view is blocking probuilder toolbar, could you fix that.

 

Any ETA for BIRP ?

getting the following error in unity 2023.1.6f1


Assets\MF.SSGI\Scripts\Rendering\SSGIPass.cs(764,61): error CS0619: 'ScriptableRenderer.cameraDepthTarget' is obsolete: 'Use cameraDepthTargetHandle'

 

Hello, since i did not get any answer on email, it looks like this asset is abandoned right?

 

I'm getting a black screen when I build my game. Works fine in the editor. URP Forward+, Unity 2022.3.9f1.

If I remove the SSGI Camera component, the build works fine. I use multiple cameras to handle things like inventory, only the main camera has the SSGI Camera component, and all my renderers have the SSGI feature.

 

Hi all,

My apologies for the lack of support lately. I've tried to fix issues reported in the latest versions of Unity, but I end-up in a world of pain with the new render-pipeline features etc. I'm at a point that I cannot support the asset any longer going forward with URP Forward+, new Unity versions, etc.

On top of that there is a lot going on in my life personally and Unity has pretty much messed-up everything anyways the past few weeks. There has been a massive drop in Unity users and Assetstore activity lately, I think by Unity's own making.

So I have decided to deprecate the asset. The lack of Assetstore sales, Unity documentation on some of the issues and my personal situation has led me to this decision.

For those that want a full refund, please send me a DM with a screenshot of the invoice-number attached.

I know I 'took' your money so I'm more then happy to refund it. Please be kind, I really tried to make the best of this asset. I fully understand your disappointment or frustration.

I'm very very sorry

 

What a bummer
I was still waiting for the BIRP version
Thank you anyway

 

Can you open source it? Post the code on Github or something? I hate to see efforts disappear and go to waste.

 

it is amazing how Unity's desicion makers are xxx everything not just with this desicion but for years now. I was really interested with the potential this asset had for URP... i hope this leaves a lesson in the industry. Unity, the sotfware is so good...
Good luck with your life i hope all your problems get resolved soon and i hope to see you and your skills in the future on another game engine with a proper leadership

 

Quick update:
I'm planning to make it open-source! Perhaps some of you would like to moderate it? I already got a request from someone interested to port it to Built-in RP.

What do you guys think?

 

Great news!

(feel free to add your ko-fi links too, just in case random people chip-in over the years)

 

I think you are very generous and I’m happy to hear you will open source it!

 

Love it! I'm glad those who needed this tool can continue to use it through open source.

 

Soooo here we go! ITs public!

Let me know if you want to collaborate on it, I can give you access

 

tbh you don't need to do it but it is a really nice move. Thanks (although i don't use it)

 

Hi, thanks for everything with you are done. I wanted to ask 1 question. Debug window is not working. This is too much important because we can't see what happening clearly. If want to set gi settings without debug window it is very hard, like being blind and trying to read book. Can you fix it?

 

When you play the demo-scene with the correct setup (in the documentation), does the debug window show anything? It still works on my end...

 

Hi, it seems like the asset is deprecated on Unity Assets Store, is there any explanation on why did that happen?

 

it was mentioned up,
https://forum.unity.com/threads/mf-...ination-occlusion.1367820/page-3#post-9373076

now on github (for others to fork or improve)

Oh I see, I couldn't tell before as it's working fine on 2021.3, but yeah on 2022.3 it's not, I have other visual systems that got screwed when Unity changed how RenderTarget works, I just gave up on them as I couldn't figure out how the new RTHandle works...

 

Very generous of you to open source it! However it would be nice if the github repository included a license?

 

Yes that would be nice, I managed to get it working for 2020.3 URP 10.5 Forward rendering by fixing a few things (remove usage of Motion Vectors, and change "UniversalRendererData" to "ForwardRendererData"). I also got it working with my custom shaders, you mostly just need to ensure that you have a DepthNormals pass in whatever shader you want to receive/contribute to the effect. I may be missing more but I am still exploring the package.
Thank you!
