[RELEASED] Advanced Dynamic Shaders - GPU wind shaders

Im getting an invite invalid on the discord link.

 

Hi. Good news, I found the issue. It seems that adding the path to the cginc according to the GPUInstancer wiki is not working, the shader needs the full path to the file. I will re-upload the package after the holidays. For now you can open the shader in text mode and replace the following line:

Code (JavaScript):

1. #include "GPUInstancer/Shaders/Include/GPUInstancerInclude.cginc"

with:

Code (JavaScript):

1. #include "Assets/GPUInstancer/Shaders/Include/GPUInstancerInclude.cginc"

If you still have issues, please let me know

 

Hi. Converting ADS to TVE is already working through the prefab converter. The wind motion uses different math and the setting will need to be set again.

The steps are simple:
1. Convert the ADS prefab:

2. Set the motion setting:


A utility to converter all meshes at once would be ideal, but since the motion is completely different, I can't match the shader parameters and you will need to select and set them anyways, so the extra step is just the individual conversion process.

 

Hi. I fixed the link, the invitation expired. Here is the once that is working:

Hi everyone,

The initial plan was to release TVE before Christmas, but development always takes more time than expected. Most of the features are almost done and the tools are quite stable, so the asset will be submitted early next year after some polish.

If you are interested to try it out in its current state, just send me a message on discord: https://discord.gg/NMeA3Uz

Happy holidays!

 

For anyone visiting this page, Boxophobic have now released TVE on the asset store: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/the-vegetation-engine-beta-159647

 

This looks excellent!

 

Bought it already - looking forward to HDRP support!

 

Hello guys! We want to invite you our new teaser of The End of the Sun game announcing Kickstarter campaign where we use Advanced Dynamic Shader
If you are interested in, add your email here. https://www.endofsun.com/crowdfunding/

 

Looking forward for SRP support to finally start using the new version !!!

Any ETA on SRP support ?

Keep up the good work

 

Pretty versatile.
Some first test with Diffusion Profiles and Subsurface.
Is there i way to see which Diffusion Profile is attached after droping the Material in the Slot?
I have around 15 different and i found no way to see which ones i attached.

Trying to get more sharp specs on the gras.





for inspiration.)

 

HDR is a free one from here.
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/2d/textures-materials/sky/unity-hdri-pack-72511
Perfect for testing with and against sun.









btw.
There is an great VFX Graph TestDemo called
\Graphics\TestProjects\VisualEffectGraph_HDRP\Assets\AllTests\VFXTests\GraphicsTests\21_DepthModules.unity

It spawn thousands of partices and has collision via depth with any geometry what is in camera frustrum.
Probably it works for the rain. Will check.

Looks very cool - good find with the depth module, I've been considering doing something like that for rain for a while, so it's good to hear that Unity is working on that already!

 

Hi,

if have some problems with SpeedTree8 conversion.
Here 3 Trees from same Asset Package.

Left Tree - ok
Middle and right tree have some flat brown bark wobbelling and the end. (marked red circles)

I used for all 3 trees same settings.




Do you have an idea what to do?

 

The Cross Fade is working when i use the Vegetation Engine Speed Tree 8 Shaders who are GPU Instancer compatible.
After setting up instances with GPU Instancer Prefab Manager cross fade is not available anymore.
Do you know know a solution or do you have a recommendation?
