Pink Objects moving from 5.3.4 to 5.4 beta 10

I have been testing some of my projects in 5.4.0b10 to look for any issues.. and most things are coming over fine... but I notice that one avatar/character model was completely pink... and it looks like its shaders all did not come over to 5.4.0b10 from the last 5.3.4f1.

The Unity Japan "Unity-Chan" character model for example, even taken fresh from the asset store and imported does not work... all its textures are pink... using the provided shaders... see this image...



I was able to partially fix this by changing to legacy shaders for Transparent -> Cutout -> Diffuse which seem to be indicated as fallbacks in the code for the shaders that are failing. That is not ideal, as some of the items have dual sided shaders, so some parts are not quite textured correctly.

But I wonder if this is a systematic issue that can be resolved in a future 5.4 beta versions, especially as the Unity Chan Asset is one from Unity (Japan) itself?

I'm guessing it's more like something changed and that shader isn't compiling any more.

What are the error messages saying?

 

I found it.

The shaders it uses are including a bunch of cg files. Those should be cginc files. (I guess being able to include files that are not cginc is deprecated behaviour now).

So change the extension of CharaMain CharaOutline and CharaSkin from .cg to .cginc then go through the actual shaders and wherever you see

#include "CharaOutline.cg"
(or any of the other three files I mentioned)

change it to
#include "CharaOutline.cginc"

 

Thanks for that @AcidArrow ... Unity Chan folks in Japan confirmed on Twitter they are looking at it to update the Unity Asset Store versions. The issue is in all their character .unitypackage variants.

 

Thanks @AcidArrow and @NobuKobayashi - that fixes the normal Unity-Chan as well as the Halloween, SD and Rock Star variants too.
