[Released] Lux URP Essentials

actually you are right...
so in "TerrainLitPasses.hlsl" you can tweak the uvs.
find line 475 which should look like this:
#ifndef TERRAIN_SPLAT_BASEPASS
then select the all line between the #ifndef and #endif and replace them with this code:
#ifndef TERRAIN_SPLAT_BASEPASS
#if defined(_PROCEDURALTEXTURING)
o.uvSplat01.xy = Attributes.positionWS.xz * 0.5;
#else
o.uvSplat01.xy = TRANSFORM_TEX(v.texcoord, _Splat0);
#endif
o.uvSplat01.zw = TRANSFORM_TEX(v.texcoord, _Splat1);
o.uvSplat23.xy = TRANSFORM_TEX(v.texcoord, _Splat2);
o.uvSplat23.zw = TRANSFORM_TEX(v.texcoord, _Splat3);
#endif
* 0.5 here is a custom value which will drive the final size of the texture on the terrain which you will have teak to fit your needs.

 

unity!
i checked all urp version from 7.4.1 to 7.5.2.:
7.4.1, 7.4.2, 7.4.3 and 7.5.1 are fine 7.5.2. is broken.
so i recommend to down grade to 7.5.1.

in order to use 7.5.2. you have to edit the "Lux URP Lit Extended Inputs.hlsl" and add:
float _Surface;
to the CBUFFER

 

Gotta love Unity breaking the API between minor revisions, dontcha?

That still leaves the

error tho

 

i get no error regarding the "Lux URP/Shader Graphs/Lux Transmission Graph Simple" in unity 2019.4.17f1 using urp 7.5.2.

 

Hi all! I am using the LUX URP Skin Shader in my project and I was wondering how can I disable individual lights in the shader code. I want to make it so the shader does not receive light data from the spotlights in the scene.

 

commenting the following line:
#pragma multi_compile _ _ADDITIONAL_LIGHTS_VERTEX _ADDITIONAL_LIGHTS
in the pass:
Pass
{
Name "ForwardLit"
Tags{"LightMode" = "UniversalForward"}
should make the shader should not add ANY additional lights (spot and point lights).
if you want to keep the point lights but get rid of the spot lights you would have to hack the lighting function which already contains code to identify point lights (well: for urp < 11 at least).

but what is about using layers and a proper culling mask on the spot lights?

 

First of all congrats on this great shader pack.

I wonder, if you would consider adding support for a detail normal map to the skin shader (now that URP 10 supports them on the Lit shader). That would be great to add micro-normals to simulate skin pores for close up.

 

worth cosindering it. although this still is urp mostly targeting weaker devices

 

For VR, HDRP is hardly usable which leaves the choice between URP or the built in renderer (which seems to be losing Unity's focus).

 

version 1.62 uploading right now:

it will bring better normals to lit decals for URP 10.2.2.+ in case SSAO is enabled.



reconstructed normals (from depth only)


sampled normals (ssao enabled)

 

version 1.62 is available.

 

Is this hard to add to the foliage shader?

 

should be straight forward.

 

Okay Il give it a try, if i get errors I will be back for some help!.

Edit: Got it , i now need better grass textures

 

fine!

that should not happen – but max urp version supported right now is 10.2.2.

 

oh ok.. urp 11.0.0 on 2021.1b3 but wasn't using those shaders in anything so will just wait

 

have you imported at least the 10.2.2 preview package?

 

When using Lux URP Essentials in any 2020 or beyond versions, I get compiling errors for the shaders. This has been going on for a while, and I assumed it'd just get fixed, but now I'm thinking it's an issue with me rather than needing an update. I'm using URP 10.2.2 with LURP Essentials 1.62.0. Everything shown here is in the Failed to Compile list in shaders. Shader Graph ones work just fine for me though. This is an example of one of the errors, but it's the same basically for all shaders listed here.

[Shader error in 'Lux URP/Human/Hair': 'InitializeStandardLitSurfaceData': output parameter 'outSurfaceData' not completely initialized at line 344 (on metal)]



Any idea of what I'm missing? I made sure to delete the Lux URP download folder in /Library/ on my system and then redownloaded. No result.

 

you have to import the lux urp essentails 10.2.2.prview package.

 

Where do I find it? It's not listed for me, even when enabling preview packages.

Edit: Ohhhh it's actually a listed file within the pack... huh. I never noticed these before. Thanks!

 

@larsbertram1

does a plan to add Liquid Shader? [something like this]

 

no, not at the moment.

 

@larsbertram1
Sorry to bother but are there any plans to add an effect that only covers/paints intersected areas? I've been trying to wrap my head around this with not much luck (lack of experience I reckon). I couldn't find anything in the documentation achieving something like this but again - I could be wrong?

 

fixed _time change half to float
thanks

 

isn't that like "hidden surfaces" – but drawing back faces instead of front faces?

 

thanks for reporting!

 

I've been experimenting with it but I'm not getting the desired result as in the referenced pictures. What I want it to do is to only "highlight" the surfaces where it intersects but not sure how to achieve that as I end up always seeing the "hidden" parts of the object itself.

 

are you drawing back faces only?

 

Aye, I did. I might be setting something else up wrong though. This is the first time I'm dealing with these sort of things so trying to read up on as much as possible to get a better understanding of it.

 

Can't seem to find an Edit button so I'll just quote myself.
Still no luck in figuring this out.

To be more precise, what I'm trying to do is highlight any intersecting geometry with a Field of View cone. The image is just an example.


This is the primary issue however. I only want the intersected area to be highlighted so the bottom part there shouldn't be visible. That said, I've had no luck in getting closer to my goal here. I've tried reading up more on it but I'm kind of lost in the dark I think. I did try decals but it seems to only be rendering in a cube rather than paint the area in which the desired mesh is in.


I only used the "hidden" shader above because it's the closest to the desired result whatsoever. My attempts were miserable at best, haha.

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Check out this asset and the demo video from 0-20 sec and from 1m where it shows the female face it looks nice:
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/shaders/nodes-for-shader-graph-124611

I've moved over from HDRP to URP now since it's just better overall and have seen your skin shader in your video however maybe its just the lighting in your demo but the one in the nodes video looks better so I was wondering if you could upgrade the skin shader by integrating the nodes in that package in your UPR Essentials product so we can get that nice skin even if that just means making a shader graph shader from the nodes in that package or would you recommend I just buy the nodes pack and use the skin shader in that pack and not use your skin shader?

 

of course i can't.
but i don't need to do so as the lux skin shader should already be superior
sss is only one piece in the puzzle. and the lux skin shader also implements pre integrated scattering and slit diffuse and specular normals.

 

My bad I didn't mean upgrade the skin shader you have now I just meant include an alternative one by using the nodes samples given and generating that same shader graph sample from that asset and putting it in your pack as part of the shader lineup.

If you are saying your skin looks better than the one in that asset then I am going to assume it comes down to the different lighting conditions as the other pack is in direct sunlight and yours is in a dark room only being lit in a small range.

 

i said the shader should be superior. the final result depends on textures, models, lighting.

 

Does your system support the URP 2020.2 range?

 

I'm tryin to get the outline shader to work, but it seems to be sort of "exploding" my mesh!



any idea what's going on here? I've tried bring this prefab directly into the outline demo scene and it still behaves strange.

 

it supports urp 10.2.2. max

 

this is how the shader works
it extrudes the mesh along its normals to create the outline.

i guess you want to have a smooth pot, right?
but what you have is a flat shaded pot instead: each edge creates a harsh border -> 2 different normals per vertex -> exploding mesh.

in case you want a smooth pot you have to fix your normals anyway - just for the lighting to be correct.

if you want a flat shaded pot smooth the normals anyway. this will make the extrusion work properly. then for lighting use the lux flat shading shader.

right now unity just doubles your vertex count. using smooth normals and the flat shading shader will massively reduce the vertex count.

 

ha! well, that makes perfect sense, and works great. thank you very much! I'm still a little confused about the ztest vs stencil comparison, but I will chew on it more before forming a question

 

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

urp last version 10.2.2
unity 2020.2.2f1

still getting error

mb i nee to do something manualy? or

 

you have to import the lux urp 10.2.2 preview package

 

no
and this is first i did after i re readed description in asset store page...
feel a bit dump...
but its worked =))))
thx!

 

There is no vegetation shader to support it at the moment?

 

Sent you images in private!.

 

Hello,

Im using the human skin shader for my characters. but im having a problem. They objects with the skin shader can't cast shadows on other objects. (it is for a mobile game using URP).
i figured out it has something todo with 'transparent'.
(because when i add a default Lit shader with transparent enabled is also doesn't cast shadows, when i set it to 'opaque' shader are cast.)

does somebody hanve any idea how i can cast the shadow from my character?
thanks

 

Hi! I found trees on terrain won't scale when I use foliage shader.
Maybe you can add support to scale and color trees by _TreeInstanceColor and _TreeInstanceScale properties in future release. Like built-in Tree Creator shaders.
Thank you!

 

you must not set the shader to transparent. use opaque instead.
