[RELEASED] ArchVizPRO Interior Vol.5

Hello,

How to make Unity bake 4096 lightmaps? When lighting generates the end result for me is 2048. I do have lightmap size set to 4096, but lightmaps are still 2048.

 

You have to select the lightmap texture, and manually set it to 4096.
Regards

 

Hello,

Thank you for your reply and awesome assets!

By manually setting the lightmap texture to 4096, do you mean Selecting The Texture-> Inspector-> Override for PC, Mac & Linux -> Max Size-> 4096? I did that and it did not change the resolution.

Regards

 

I recently purchased this asset. I haven't deployed to my target device yet but overall I am quiet happy with it. Everything seems to be well organised and it was easy to modify (I ended up deleting everything and using only one room).

My only issue is the import time. It takes around 2.5 hours on my year and a half old mac. For now I am going to use it for mobile. So I was thinking deleting desktop related stuff (materials come to mind here) to improve import time. I don't know how much that is going to help but I think it makes sense to not import the stuff you are not going to use anyway. So to make that simpler could you organize the asset in the future to keep stuff in their own folders so with just one tick we can control what is imported.

Thanks

 

Hello
Yes, since there are many textures (around 1.5 gb), it could takes some time to import the first time.
Using a SSD could help a lot to load faster.
I will try to organize better the files.. but it's difficult to find a way that work for everyone.
Thank you for your support and best regards

Hy.. i just buy your assets ...Can you make tutorial for samsung gear vr without controller and for mobile ? Please

 

Hello,

I tried importing this asset to a newly created Unity 2018.1.1f1 sample project with HD Renderpipeline setup. However, I am getting shader errors and most objects appear to be pink.

Google Drive Image

Is this asset supposed to be working with 2018.1.1f1? If not, will support be added? If not then how can I get rid of the problem?

Thanks!

 

Hello
Yes it is fully compatible with 2018.
Actually no support for Scriptable Render Pipeline.

 

Hi. I just bought it and sometimes my floor just disappear depend on the way I look it. I'm using mobile scene with first character, when I move the character camera to the floor it disappear.

 

Probably you have to bake again Occlusion Culling.

 

I bought this model and follow the 2 tutorials, for standard and VR experience.
Works perfectly !!!! Thanks a lot… Realism is amazing !
I can't wait to try to import my own designs in the house and try to bake it !

 

Is it possible for you to make a short tutorial to explain the way i can import an object of my own and the way to bake correctly all the necessary lights or occlusions (i am new with unity, i just need to see the main way i have to follow)
Thanks a lot !!!

 

Hello. A tutorial about baking is on the way... but sorry I can't give you any eta.
But basically, use "Generate Lightmap UVs" in Model Import Settings and set it to "Static".
Then launch the Bake from Lighting Settings Windows.

 

Hi there!!! =D
I have this on the MANAGER. I don't know what script is missing =/

 

You can delete without problem. It was a frame counter not included in the package, I forget to delete it. I will fix in next update.
Thank you for your support

 

Hello @ArchVizPRO,

First, I need to say that your assets are the best in quality and performance! You take care of every single detail.

And now, the question/issue. I have tried everything to get Anti Aliasing on OculusGo, but I get this jagged edges all around the house. I have tried the following:

1. The five advises from the Oculus Staff.
2. Linear instead of Gamma, but the scene becomes darker.
3. Changing the quality settings through code. It works on GearVR but not for OculusGo.
4. Use the AA from Post Processing Stack asset, even when for mobile, you don't use it.
5. Follow the instructions and settings for mobile VR.

I just uploaded a video, so you can see it in action. Please don't pay attention to the navigation style, it is just a demo with zero design. Anyway, can you see how all the edges seems to vibrate? And it is even worse when you are on VR.

By the way, I am using Unity 2018.2.1f1.

My last hope is any advise from you, hopefully it exists.

Thank you in advance!

 

Hello
I don't have an OculusGo, but I had made some test with GearVR.
Some tips to minimize antialiasing:
0- Use Gamma. Linear is not supported in mobile VR (at least with gearVR).
1- Use hardware antialiasing (Quality Settings). Try a X4, if it's too heavy use X2. Note that your camera must use FORWARD.
2- Set your camera to not use HDR. Also, reflection probe must have HDR disabled.
3- In addition to hardware Antialising use FXAA from Post processing stack v2. Or even better Temporal Antialiasing (but it could decrease fps a lot on mobile).
4- Use the "ExampleRenderScale" on MANAGER GameObject. This is a killer of performance, but it has a huge impact on Antialiasing. Try to start from 1.. and go higher values. I do not recommend to go higher than 2.

Hope it could help you.
Regards

 

Hello!

Thank you for your advice! I tried and here my comments:

Right! I am using Gamma. Linear for some reason becomes the scene darker. And even when his official guide says that we shoud select Linear, the Oculus Staff in the forums also recommends Gamma.

Yep, I'm using x4 and Forward is selected.

I had the reflection probes with HDR, I just disabled it.

With v1, as soon as the app opens, I just see a white screen and the OculusGo doesn't respond.
With v2, no changes are being applied, and the left eye anchor keeps on white, even when I am applying the AA just to the center eye anchor.

I can go to 1.8 - 1.9, but even with 2 (and a poor performance), I am getting the same problem.

- -

Thank you again for you guidance, I am also waiting for the answer from the Oculus Staff. I am not the only one with the issue. And I just can't explain why nothing seems to work. I also tried to go back to Unity 2017, but the result is exactly the same.

 

Testing this out on iOS I am getting huge memory issues, with the game hitting around 1.5GB on an iPad Pro and an iPhone 7. On my iPad Pro it runs, but on my iPhone 7 it crashes. Any ideas?

 

Hello
Yes, the mobile version is though for high-end phone/tablet (All test were done on a Samsung s8).
For low memory devices, you have to decrease texture size. You can do from the texture inspector.

 

Hey AVP,

Is there a reason why you don't have builds of your assets we can have a look before deciding to buy?

Thanks

 

Everything is pink. I followed the documentation. Why is everything pink? Please help.

 

I figured it out. I started my project and selected High Quality RP when I should have just chosen 3D

 

Yes, actually Vol.5 doesn't support HDRP. Only for Vol.6 there is a separate HDRP project to download.

 

Hi ArchVizPRO
I purchased my first ArchVizPRO Asset yesterday and I am very impressed with both the quality and performance.

Clearly you are skilled in this area so may I ask for your "general" advice:

I'm trying to come up with a design to have day night with the performance of baked shadows and a fixed light source.
I don't need a moving light source or to see the sun slowly drop below the horizon.

But I would like to see your assets on a misty winters morning or a clear moonlit night, the red hues of the afternoon sun etc.

If the sun and moon were always in the same place then the difference would be color and intensity of the light.
So supposing the sun / moon was always at say 3pm 45 degrees then we could switch between day night and the shadows could be baked high quality

Even if you flick a switch and the skybox fades to a new one, light color changes, cicadas start singing etc.

Is what I am proposing feasable or doable? and if so how would you go about it?

PS. I understand that any advice you give may be subjective and/or personal preference.

Cheers

Roy

 

Hello
You have 2 way of doing it.
1- The easy way. Just make two separated scene with different light setup. And use a simple "loadLevel" script to switch from the two scene. In this way, you can use baked lighting without problem.
2- The hard way. You can use Enlighten Precomputed Lighting to dynamically change lights setup. But the overall quality of the light is low, and also it impacts on performance. For example, I used this in ArchVizPRO Vol.2.

 

Ahh harder than I thought....
I was hoping you would say something like swap the lightmap and skybox set the global illumination value.

I downloaded your ArchVizPRO Vol.2. example I can see how the drastically the light changes and also how the mood of the scene changes.
Now I want different lighting scenarios more than ever.

Thankyou for your sage advice
I will have to come up with a plan and learn more about lighting.

it just takes so long to bake... sigh...

 

Seeing as a lot of the furnishings are actual brands, how did you manage the copyright to use the designs?

 

@ArchVizPRO
Hello Man i want to use this Asset for Android mobile ?
there is version of low poly of this asset ? or not ?
how it is optimized on mobile android platform ?

 

Hello
Yes there is a dedicated scene for Mobile. It runs around 60 fps on a Samsung S8.

 

thanks for you answer , if there is a problem i am facing using the asset on mobile platform, you will support me ?

 

Installed mobile version. After pressing Play getting following error: "Setting anti-aliasing of already created render texture is not supported! UnityEngine.GUIUtilityrocessEvent(Int32, IntPtr)" Any ideas how to fix it?

 

Its a very very beautyful model and it works great in 2018.4 but in 2019.1 for any reason the meshes for the window frames are missing and the lightmaps don't work anymore.

I hardly think that it is no issue on side of the asset. Its a Unity Editor Problem. Can you check it in a actual version 2019.1 ?

 

Hello
I confirm, Unity 2019 broke some mesh path and also lightmap need to be baked again.
An update will be available very soon with all the fixes for Unity 2019.
Thank you for your feedback.
Best regards

 

Unity version?
Could you please send me a screenshot of the Console errors?
Thank you

 

somebody help me this asset is integrate to ocuulus quest. in thier any tutorial any video any thing please share me

 

Hello, just bought Volume 5 (already bought the vol4, really happy with it)

I just found something strange.
Parts are missing. Essentially windows and frames.
Everything is well imported. Tried to import the package 2 times.

 

Hello
What Unity version are you using?
The new prefab system could break some mesh links.
Let me know

 

Hello, I'm on 2019.2f !

Managed to rebuild the missing part, everything is perfect

 

Hello,

I'm interested in buying this assets, but I wonder: is it possible to change the material/texture of the walls, separate from say, the ceiling? Are the walls, each one, a different mesh, or is it a continuos mesh?

Thanks!

 

No it's all the same mesh but it wouldn't be very difficult to replace it using something like ProBuilder...

 

HDRP - LWRP - URP I was feeling a little bit left behind so I thought I would at least understand what is changing from the Standard Shader and how much work is involved catching up.
It is just the sort of thing I bought this Vol 5 Asset for ages ago
.
This is not my Asset and I am not expert by any stretch of the imagination
But in the past I removed the book cases from the living room, and a lot of the books there are too many books tbh.
In place I put a Flat screen TV which is in about 55 to 65" I reokon.
Then I made it so I can watch youtube videos on the TV
Then I put 4 spot lights in front and a script that samples points on the screen, Gets the color and changes the light to be the same color. So it looks like the screen is lighting up the room a bit
Then I got bored
Started doing serious game dev
Then Youtube changed
Then Standard Shader Changed

I decided to give URP Universal Render Pipeline a go
There is a ton of stuff on HDRP but not so much about URP and it's meant to run faster and be better quality than Standard Shader, where as HDRP is "cough" - just better quality.
What I used
Easy Character Movement https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/?stay#!/content/57985
Advanced FPS Counter https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/?stay#!/content/14656
I highly reccomend both these assets btw.
What I did
Got rid of all the TV stuff (for now)
Checked my old LTS version 2018.4.8f1 by walking around the Snow Chalet like round the outside then into the living room and visiting every room then back outside.
This is my specs

This is the results.


I've always been impressed with the performance of this Asset given it's quality
Post getting too long so I will do another

 

*Note this is not a like for like comparison it's just what I think, which may be of help to others.
Downloaded Unity 2019.3.2f1 installed UDP via the package manager.
Unity Guruz has done some excellent videos which helped me https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgd3l8iA5zBYVa4sQ6-ONFw
Most of the materials converted fine

The ones that didn't were some materials called AVPsomething not Standard shader
it was the terrain under the chalet the nearby trees (billboard ones were ok) and soft funishings like the many types of chair
What I did quick and dirty...
Deleted the chairs (what is it will all the chairs and Books?)
Deleted the Trees
Made the rest use the Standard shader Curtains and cushions they don't looks as nice but anything is better than pink.
The terrain was even quicker and dirtier I litterally Draged Mountain2 on to is normal and every thing then changed the offset to get a flat bit outside the back door
Walked around the Chalet keeping to the same route as before (roughly)
Tah' Daaa all done.
and the Result


I'm loving these numbers..

 

Verdict
I can't lightmap it, The Progressive GPU (Preview) Fails and falls back to Progressive CPU, Enlighten is (Depricated)
I tried... I even made a Test scene removing most stuff just leaving the bedroom
Then fiddled with lots of settings baking and reading and baking over and over.


Before I went to bed I set a full bake going on the full thing using settings like the original
I was woke up 5 hours later by Screaming Fans, on my graphics card.
Blurry eyed and naked I squinted to see 1 day 22 hours to go, nahh not happening.

Like many Releases these days I'd give it a while get a few bug fix releases before messing with this stuff

URP is looking really impressive though
The Progressive GPU is really fast when it doesn't fall back (seems to be GPU memory size related)
If I were ArchVizPRO...
I would include a little "Test Scene" where people could do test bakes
make things like Walls, Ceiling, & handrails modular, so we can make our own Chalets...

Sorry about the long posts ...
didn't get much sleep

 

Hello nomax5
Here some answers to your question. Sorry if I can't reply to all.
1- Standard to URP material conversion.
Standard material converts without problems, only custom shader must be rewritten. In this case, I would use Shader Graph.
2- Progressive GPU.
I simply love it. But as you say it is very RAM demanding.
There are some tricks to free as much RAM as possible, I have made documentation about it for Vol.7.
My preferred way is to use 2 GPU, one that works for Unity Editor, and the other used for GPU baking.
3- About making modular assets is something I will seriously evaluate for the next volume.
Thank you for your support!

 

ooo it so happens I have 2 GTX970's in my rig (not SLi) , I use 1 for the main 2k monitor and the other for the other 2 1k monitors and the physX I think..
So using one for baking sounds like a pla, thanks for the info.

 

I have just paid for this pack but after importing it I am bomdarded with errors relating to deprecated libraries - is there any fix for this?

Assets\Standard Assets\Characters\FirstPersonCharacter\Scripts\FirstPersonController.cs(3,27): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'CrossPlatformInput' does not exist in the namespace 'UnityStandardAssets' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

 

Hello
The latest Unity version supported by Vol.5 is 2019.1.3.
Have you followed the PDF instructions? You had to import Standard Asset to make the character controller work and resolve console errors.
But from what I see now, it is no more available on Asset Store . For now, you can download it from here.
Regards

EDIT: Standard Asset is now available again on Asset Store.

 

have the same problem.
Did you model the missing parts or is there a better way to get it complete with unity 2019.x?

 

I have same problem, any solution?
