Realistic effects pack [Asset Store]

Hello, when you getting the error? Can I have test scene? Write to me on mail kripto289@gmail.com

 

Hey there,

I'm interessted in buying the Realistic Explosions Pack. I couldn't find a definite answer if I can change the smoke color from black to gray?

 

Hello,
By default no. But you can change shaders output color:
instead of "return color" you need change "return color + 0.5" (or other grayscale color)

 

Somewhere along the line the "Goo Drops" of the slime effect stopped working in your demo scene.
It used to work last time I checked, like 6 months or so ago.
They go through the floor now for some reason(I haven't changed anything expect the unity version).
Any ideas on how to get it to work again?

 

Hello,
What a unity version?
Try change collider layer of effect particles.

 

It was doing it for the last version 5.5.3 and also the new version 5.6.
If I create a brand new project, download and import "Realistic Effects pack 3 1.2.0.0".
Open scene "Unity5_EffectDemo3" and press play, then use the buttons you have to get to "SlimeEffect".

I don't change any settings and it looks like you have the collider set to collide with "Everything".
The blots do appear, but under the plane.

P.S. There are also strange white flashes for the "Slime Ball" and "SlimeEffect" also, but I care mostly about the Collison blots.

 

kripto289,
Any luck on a fix yet?

 

Hi, The distortion shader doesnt' work when used in VR with singlepass. I am using unity 5.6.

this is what I see: double image whenever the distortion shader is used on a material.

Do you already have a fix for this? How can we fox this? thanks!

 

@kripto289 Your website is down, and my anti-malware program tells me it's not secure to visit it.
When I open it in a sandbox, the domain is not reachable.
Can you have a look? Thanx!

 

Kripto, great effects. I've been trying your Effects pack 3 in my project, but I just discovered that your effects don't seem to support single-pass stereo rendering for VR. Is this correct? They're not working for me correctly in Unity 5.6.1p3 with SteamVR. Is there any chance you'll be able to provide an updated version that supports this? I'm afraid I won't be able to use these effects if you don't.

 

Hello, give your mail, I'll send the patch.

 

Whoa, fastest support response ever! So just curious, if you have a patch, wouldn't you push this via an update? Then people could just update and you wouldn't need to be bothers with support questions like mine . Do you have a patch for all your effects pack? I think you wrote a fire effects packs that I bought also (i'd need to check). Sent you a PM with my email address.

 

Patch attached

 

Hi thanks, unfortunately the effects still don't look correct. For example, when I tried the Aura:Fireshield effect, I see a different view in each eye, so it's really disorienting. The left eye seem flames, ad the right eye seem flames surrounded by a dark black area that shouldn't be there at all. Have any thoughts on what I can check, or how to fix?

 

Write me on skype "scar289". Also, you tried remove included "bloom" posteffects (and other posteffects which you have on main camera?) Not all version of unity bloom works with single pass rendering.

 

Thank you for patch.

 

Am I just crazy? I just spent 8 hours trying to figure out how any of these work, I still have no idea how to apply any of the effects to anything. I've deconstructed the demos and can't replicate anything. Is there really no manual or even a video tutorial?

 

In the FadeInOutLight script if isVisible is set quickly on and off before it has time to finish fading the light in or out it will stay at the partially faded value. I fixed it by adding a few lines to the FadeIn and FadeOut functions.

Code (CSharp):

1. private void FadeIn()
2.   {
3.         fadeOutComplited = false; //EDITED BY LUCAS
4.         if (FadeOutDelay == 0) //EDITED BY LUCAS
5.             canStartFadeOut = true; //EDITED BY LUCAS
6.     currentIntensity = oldIntensity + Time.deltaTime / FadeInSpeed * startIntensity;
7.     if (currentIntensity >= startIntensity)
8.     {
9.       fadeInComplited = true;
10.       if (!isOut) allComplited = true;
11.       currentIntensity = startIntensity;
12.       Invoke("SetupFadeOutDelay", FadeOutDelay);
13.     }
14.     goLight.intensity = currentIntensity;
15.     oldIntensity = currentIntensity;
16.   }
17.  
18.   private void FadeOut()
19.   {
20.         fadeInComplited = false; //EDITED BY LUCAS
21.     currentIntensity = oldIntensity - Time.deltaTime / FadeOutSpeed * startIntensity;
22.     if (currentIntensity <= 0)
23.     {
24.       currentIntensity = 0;
25.       fadeOutComplited = true;
26.       allComplited = true;
27.     }
28.     goLight.intensity = currentIntensity;
29.     oldIntensity = currentIntensity;
30.   }

 

Hello,

I have a problem with using realistic effects pack 4 in VR project. Readme states that "VR distortions and bloom supported. All effects tested on Oculus Rift CV1 with single and dual mode rendering and work perfect.". However after checking "virtual reality supported" in playersettings tab, rfx4 distortion and bloom script produces some glitches in game window, but changes absolutely nothing in HMD image.
I'm using Unity 5.6.4f1.

 

In Realistic Effects Pack 4, the Effect15_Optimized prefab contains the Challenger character model in both versions. So there's no optimized prefab without the character.

 

Hello,
Rfx4_distortion and bloom used for mobiles. You should use standard unity posteffects for pc. I wrote it in the readme.
Also, pls update on latest version.

 

I'll fix it later.
You can just remove the character from prefab

 

Hello Kripto,

i just found all three of the first Effects Packs being deprecated in Unity 2017.3.1f1. Is this a mistake or did you deprecated them without mentioning anything in the forums?

 

Hello,
The first pack is deprecated because I have created the new magic pack1.
Other packages included js scripts and assetstore remove it. Soon it will be fixed.

 

Remember to update the first post in this thread.

 

On "Energy explosion Mobile" I tried to enable the "collision" on the particle settings but yeah... now the effect is not beautiful anymore (the distortion looks weird ). i want that the child "particleDistortion" send a collision message so that the enemy gets affected but i don't know why it is not working like i want it to .

 

Hello I am trying to use this pack in a turn based rpg its pretty much 2d but ive built it in 3d. Are there any tutorials which you or anyone knows of that i can use this pack to lets say - the left side creature fires a fireball at the right side creature

so i have the source and destination transform positions and i know how to move the position of an object from one to another...but i dont know how to do it with this pack or the prefabs within the pack.

thanks!

 

nm all good - set the rotation and created a few box colliders - bobs your uncle or aunt

 

Hope @kripto289 doesn't mind.

A free Realistic Effects Pack 4 voucher: it's taken.
If you used it, please reply so I can remove it. Also please consider to buy other packs from him, he deserve it!

Disclaimer: I have all effects packs from @kripto289 already for a long time, I've got this extra in a bundle.

 

Got it, thanks!
It seems to be of quality, I'm pretty sure I will buy another packs from him.

 

Would be great if you could integrate your packs into Emerald AI to use the full effects !

 

Are there issues with the packs? My prefabs seem to be missing components after importing them.

Im still going thru everything, I have Magic Effects Pack 1 and Realistic Effects Pack 4. Just checking if I need to do assembly after opening or I did not import correctly.

 

Bro would you update your pack to support the lightweight pipeline of unity?? Or update to assure good compatibility with unity 2018 cause I can't build for any platform (the only error comes from your asset (something to do with the shades) , even though it works perfectly in the editor) for 2, 3 and 4 ?
Thanks

 

same request here, please. we have a number of broken shaders.

 

Also, could you please update the OP to show realistic pack 1 is no longer available? The link just goes to a page saying it's no longer available. We were using a couple of effects from it. The pack1 shaders are broken now with the 2018 update and subsequently useless. What happened to them?

 

Hello,
Emerald AI supported pack1 and pack4.
Just create folder with name "Editor" in the asset folder and add this files.

 

Hello,
Unfortunately, unity does not support grabpass and multi pass shaders. I spent a lot of time to find a way to render distortion / water and other effects with transparent geometry and fix other problems. (multipass shaders, decals, etc.)
Therefore, in a couple of weeks I will add support for lwrp and hdrp rendering for all effects.

 

Since they are and were considerably more work, I (and I believe the majority of the user-base) wouldn't mind if the SRP support were paid upgrade. You're making great assets, you deserve every support.

 

True true and trueeee I won't mind paying for the upgrade if all effects are upgraded ( ps: update is for v2, v3 and v4 right ?? )

 

I was getting this error. How to solve it?

 

Sir, any update , estimation on release date for 2018.3 ?

 

Hi @kripto289 - I am happily using most of your effects packs with Emerald and Invector.

After upgrading the Mesh Effects Package to Version 1.4 in Unity 2017.4.7f1 LTS I am getting this errors when applying them to any mesh :

Spoiler: Error : Key not found exception

Do you have a fix plz?

 

Hello, the distortion shader isn't working for HDRP
I see there is a RFX4_UberDistortion.UpgradeSRP file, but not sure what it does (tried changing it to .unitypackage but still no luck).
What is it supposed to do ?

 

Hello,
It's distortion shader for HDRP rendering, if you use legacy rendering or lwrp, you can remove this file, or just ignore it.

 

Ok, just a heads up, it doesn't appear as a shader (because it ends up with .UpgradeSRP).
If I change the ending to .shader it still doesn't work.
What can I do to make it work ?
I'm testing it in unity 2019.1b4 with HDRP 5.3.1

 

I have script which automaticaly update shaders for HDRP/LWRP.
I have copy of shader for HDRP (in this file) and my script after import should get code from this file and replace for distortion shader.
It's like a backup file.
You do not need to rename anything. After import it's should be done automatically.

 

It doesn't all the particles that use the distortion shader just show black.
I also tried it with Unity 2018.3 and HDRP 4.9.0

 

Write me to email "kripto289@gmail.com"

 

I reimported it and it seems to be working.
I think I did the problem by thinking it was an unitypackage to update the shader.
EDIT: No, still black particles, I'll send you an email.

 

Hey i am trying to use the package with the HDRP. However i cant seem to get it to work


As you can see from the image above it is really missing. Can someone please help me?
