[Released] Lux URP Essentials

My settings are exactly the same.
This one is the default Lit

This one is the Uber


I am on 2019.4.12f1 and I am using the 7.5.1 URP package.
Guess the issue must be somewhere there then.

i checked it in 2019.4.9f1 using URP 7.5.1. (i have no 2019.4.12f1 installed but that should not make any difference).
creating a new metarial just works as expected.
so it might be a problem with the material inspector: please try to change the smoothness source in the inspector from metallic alpha to albedo, then back.i hope this solves the issue.

 

Thanks - making a complete new material from scratch does work as intended.
Switching the shader of that material back and forth from Lit and Uber will cause the issue - don't understand where that is coming from though...

Thanks for your help!

My 2 cents; with diffuse normal sampling enabled and a bias of 0, it's sampling the normal map at the same texture level. Then diffuse normal equals the normal from the normal map. So, with sample diffuse off and enable normal map on, I think almost everyone would expect it to behave the same as diffuse on with 0 bias, but it doesn't.

Thanks, I'll check out the new version.

Also, on a related note. The reason I stumbled on this is because I want to supply custom blended normals to the lighting node. You have the normal map Texture2D going straight into the node.
I see why, because of all this custom logic, but then it prevents someone from adjusting the tangent space normal before the lighting node. IMO, you should sample and unpack the normal map outside your lighting node and pass in the tangent space normal. Not sure if that would be too difficult to change though. For myself, I simply added a new normalTS input and commented out sampling the normal map in the node and disabled the diffuse sampling.

 

Hi, I just purchased and wondering if it's possible to prevent light from passing through meshes?
I didn't realise the volumetric lighting is just a mesh shader. Would it be possible to have it somehow follow the
data of the spotlight or cut the mesh where it intersects (like 2d shadows)?

 

talking about the udk style light beams?
these are mesh based, yes.

so all you can do about this: do a raycast and resize the mesh accordingly...
however: the shader contains a special parameter called "Limit Length" which is designed to help here. so you do not have to scale the mesh but simply tweak this parameter.

 

That works pretty well, I went with a spherecast. Here's the result. Thanks!

 

great!

 

Prepare for Toon Lighting Version 2 with multiple steps, custom ramps and gradients, easier outlines and enhanced lighting features.

 

version 1.6 is now available!

 

I just got an error of 256 shaders limit. Can I make LUX shader to local?

 

most of them should only use local keywords...

 

Hello!
I can't get the FX/Box Volume shader to work with the "Enable Gradient" / "Vertical Gradient" feature; the mesh turns pink when I enable it regardless of what gradient image I give it.

Shader error in 'Lux URP/FX/Box Volume': invalid subscript 'positionOS_scale' at line 297 (on d3d11)

I'm using URP 10.2.2 in Unity 2020.2.0f1 and have imported the 10.2 unitypackage
Thank you!

 

Is there another readme file I can't find that explains how to setup? I'm on the newest version of URP and I have a ton of errors and pink on pretty much everything.

 

Think I got it! Installed the the Lux 10.2.2 URP and it seems they are all gone. Maybe that was somewhere. Looks beautiful now!

 

i found that bug myself a few hours ago too: still some old code there...
in order to fix it replace:

Code (CSharp):

1. positionOS_scale.y

with:

Code (CSharp):

1. exitOS.y + 0.5

 

version 1.61 is available adding anisotropic specular highlights to the new toon shaders:

 

I get these errors. Anyone knows why? I should not need to import any dll manually , right?

 

have you installed urp?

 

Thx, i hadnt, i thougt i got it automatically when i created a HDRP project.

 

you mean: URP project, right?then it should automatically be loaded and assigned...

 

Im trying to get this working, anyone knows how to get these?
"Make sure you have the proper version of the Core RP Library and the Lightweight RP / Universal RP installed (5.16.1, 6.9.1, 7.1.8, 7.2 or 7.41 - according to the shader package you have imported) in the Window → Package Manager"
I can only find version High Definition RP version 8.2.0 and Univesal RP version 8.2.0?

 

Maby im using a to new version. 2020.1.1f1, it says on asset store
Supported Unity versions
2019.1.3 or higher,
But when i look in the documentation it says:
Lux URP Essentials have been successfully tested in Unity 2019.1.3, 2019.1.6 and 2019.1.10 using LWRP 5.16.1 and Unity 2019.2.0f1 using LWRP 6.9.1
Lux URP Essentials have been tested using Unity 2019.3.1f1 and URP 7.2. and Unity 2019.3.9 using URP 7.4.1 on macOS and Metal, Windows 10 and DX11 and Android (Mali and Adreno GPUs) using Vulcan. A package for URP 7.1.8 is included.

 

using upr 8.2 should be fine.

 

I downloaded 2019.3.9f1 and now it works.

 

urp foliage shader , the movement becomes strange after a certain period of time in the Android environment.(use math input) even Demo Scene too
why? Device is android 9 samsung S8
urp 7.51

 

Great asset Lars! And almost everything works fine, although I am getting this error from the Mesh Terrain shader:

- Shader error in 'Lux URP/Terrain/Mesh Terrain': 'InitializeStandardLitSurfaceData': output parameter 'outSurfaceData' not completely initialized at line 223 (on d3d11)

- Shader error in 'Lux URP/Lit Extended Uber': 'InitializeStandardLitSurfaceDataUber': output parameter 'outSurfaceData' not completely initialized at Inputs.hlsl(203) (on d3d11)

Plus, two errors about fromt the LitFowardPass:

- Shader error in 'Lux URP/Lit Extended': 'OutputAlpha': no matching 2 parameter function at Architect/Library/PackageCache/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@10.2.2/Shaders/LitForwardPass.hlsl(176) (on d3d11)

- Shader error in 'Lux URP/Lit Extended': undeclared identifier '_Surface' at Architect/Library/PackageCache/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@10.2.2/Shaders/LitForwardPass.hlsl(176) (on d3d11)

Unity 2020.2 (URP 10.2.2)

Any idea?

 

oh, what period of time are you referring to? we will get floating point issues on any device.
but maybe some varaibles have to be changed from half to float...

 

Hello! I just bought your pack and I'm having a lot of fun with it.

But I just noticed that my simple "blinkingeyes" script isn't working with your Toon Shader Graph v2.

I used to just use URP/Unlit and moving the texture offset.

Code (CSharp):

1. eyeRend.materials[0].SetTextureOffset("_BaseMap", new Vector2(eyelidOffset.x, eyelidOffset.y - 0.125f)); //1

Upgrading to URP I had to swap from _MainTex to _BaseMap, anything similar now with your shader?

 

Toon Shader Graph v2 currently does not use any offset. you will have to add a vector2 property and give it a reference like "_Offset" or _"TextureOffset". then find the nodes which calculate the uvs (taking only "_Tiling" into account right now) and "add" the "_TextureOffset".
change it by script:

eyeRend.sharedMaterials[0].SetTextureOffset("_TextureOffset", new Vector2(eyelidOffset.x, eyelidOffset.y - 0.125f));

use sharedMaterials instead of materials as using materials will create a new instance!

 

I'm coming across an issue where disabling MSAA breaks the LUX URP Depth Only shader. If you click here you can see how it looks with a basic transparent material assigned to the sphere, with a second material as the depth pass shader. But if I you click here you can see how it looks if I disable MSAA - it also seems to disable the effect.

I'm sure it's something inherent to Unity/how MSAA is calculated, and so I understand there's probably nothing you can do about it, but any info you can give on why it might be happening could help us try to come up with a workaround!

 

i can't see any difference on the screen shots?!
maybe you just paste them here? use the upload file button at the right bottom

 

Huh weird, OK I've reuploaded them so hopefully a bit clearer

 

hello, i just purchased this plugin and i wished to use the water feature, however my asset needs to be at 0.015 scale owing to which the foam and other effects in the water shader dont work correctly. I have been toying with the values a lot so far, trying to divide or multiply it by 0.015 but it still wont relatively scale correctly. The biggest issue is the foam edge scaling correctly. Whats the best way you can recommend to go about doing this? thank you appreciate!

 

use real sizes... other than that: you have to tweak the shader

 

I'm having the same issues, having been upgrading from 2019.3 to 2020.2 today

Unity 20.2.1f1 with Lux URP Essentials 1.61

The Lux URP Lit Extended Shader shows the following compilation errors:



I've created a fresh URP project and imported Lux URP Essentials straight in and this happens. Any fixes or workaround would be greatly appreciated.

 

Also having the same issue... anyone ?

 

have you imported the Lux URP 10.2.2. preview package?

 

I have now, and problem solved! Thank you so much!

For anyone else struggling with this, this is a unitypackage provided with Lux URP that you have to import manually to patch the problems for URP 10.2.2

Got to Assets->Import Package -> Custom Package
Select Assets/Lux URP Essentials/LuxURPEssentials_URP_10.2.2.Preview.unitypackage and import everything.

This fixes the shader issues up a treat.
Nice work all round, Lars. This has been an absolute boon to our project!

 

... it is part of the package.

 

Hi, I cant find it in the package

 

then you have to update the package.
you have to do it with unity 2019.3 or higher.
if unity does not update the package you will have to delete the cache. somewhere in C:\Users\accountName\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Asset Store

 

Would it be possible for me to use your URP toon shader with Vegetation Studio Pro? If not, how difficult would it be to add support? Currently using a toon shader for my vegetation, but in the process of converting to URP.

 

you will have to add support for procedural instancing. vsp comes with a custom node? for shader graph and a description. but i have never done it myself.

 

Thank you！Fixed

 

I've also got this error, but I'm on 2019 LTS, so the latest URP I can use is 7.5.2 - there's no matching 'patch' (10.2.2 one gives errors about clearcoat, and 7.4.1 doesn't seem to solve the issue) - Any suggestions?

 

can you post your exact error log here please?

 

Hmm, its not obvious to me how to get a usually tile-able terrain to tile across terrain objects when Lux's procedural texturing is on. Is there a way to guarantee that the procedural rotation/transformation uses world-space UV's instead?

 

Ah, I've added instanced indirect support to custom shaders before for VSP. If that's all that needs to be done, then great!
