This is incredible.
Can't wait for it to be released to add it to my project.

Great work Archanor!

 

I'm so excited for this update

 

Same here

Making the last few demo videos. If everything goes well, it should be available friday or early next week.

 

Wow, just when I thought this pack was abandonned and started eyeing synty's Polygon Particle FX Pack. The new effects are very cool

PS: Once I get to the effects and polishing phase of my current project, I will write a proper review.

 

@Tzirrit You can keep track of my latest work on Twitter I've been sharing GIFs there from it for the past 6 months!

Right now I'm just glad to finally have released it! Appreciate all feedback/reviews.

 

Hi Archanor,

I just bought Polygon Arsenal and Epic Toon yesterday, glad to discover the update today !

I didn't have time to browse through the full huge collection (specially with all the new ones) but I already notice there isn't any Fog VFX in the Polygon Arsenal like in the Epic Toon one (Calm/Flat/Heavy/Lively).

I was a little bit disappointing as my project is Low Poly style I prefer to stick with the Polygon Arsenal one and I'm not sure using the Epic Toon fog here will fit with the rest.

I'll do a proper review on the asset store page once I'll integrate/play more with the package.
But I can already say that the promo videos, demos and package organisation are really good

 

@yotcho Thanks for the feedback. I can look into making a fog effect, though I think the design would be very similar to the Epic Toon FX counterpart, unless you have a very specific look in mind.

 

I think same prefabs/designs than the Epic Toon ones with another sprite sheet style (less soft more polygonal) will be really cool for the Polygon Arsenal !
I don't have a specific look but a use case : fake volumetric fog with particle system to give a mist/dust atmosphere to the scene.

 

Hi, I recently bought Polygon Arsenal FX. I am facing few problems, Help will be appreciated.
I am currently working on URP, also added v1.21 URP Fix + Depth Texture - on

But still lots of particles have missing materials, also attached a image below for reference.
Even lighting is not the same, not sure why?

 

@QuickQuad Which version of Unity and URP are you using? URP version can be seen in Package Manager.

 

Archanor Unity 2020.1.15f1 and URP version: 8.2.0

 

@QuickQuad I have the asset imported in 2020.1.16f1 with URP 8.3.1 and everything looks fine on this end. Can you upgrade URP and see if that makes any difference?

 

Sure will try and get back.

 

Yay! It fixed. I upgraded to 8.3.1 and reimported, Used the URP upgrade and it got fixed. Thanks a lot for your quick response. Awesome asset pack! Keep building

 

Hello, I have a similar issue like QuickQuad. This is what my scene looks like while it should look like the one in the photo above. Can you help me solve this issue. I already tried QuickQuad's solution but it did not help. I have Depth Texture enabled. What else can I try to fix it? Thank you in advance for your reply!

EDIT: I think the problem is with the shaders because the materials appear pink even in the inspector. Actually, only when using PolyIntense shader, the objects do not appear pink.

EDIT 2: Everything works fine when not using the default renderer, so I stick to it for now.

 

@bojidarvelikov2

Is that Standard or URP? What versions are you running?

If URP, does the URP upgrade do nothing after applying it? Double click it in upgrades folder and Import. If you have the latest URP in package manager it should work.

Edit: I also recommend using a LTS version as there's been less problems in URP there.

 

I am using URP version 8.3.1 and and unity version is 2020.3.18, so it's a LTS version. I think it may be because my GPU is quite old but I won't be able to test this theory the next one week. I will tell you as soon as I have tested it. Until then I will just use the default renderer. I gues the results won't be that good but it will do the trick.

 

Hey there,

just bought the asset and all the effects are looking really great. Thanks for this awesome set! Unfortunately, I got problems when trying to set everything up in my project. Although, I think the problem derives from my specific setup, maybe you could help me understanding the problem and recommend me the best way to fix it.

When adding your effects, everything using soft particles is not rendered at its position. It looks like the effect is rendered behind every object in the scene. Thus, you can only see effect parts using soft particles when nothing is behind it. I made a short video to demonstrate the problem and show the found solutions so far:

As already mentioned, I think this is a project settings related issue. But maybe anybody can help me with that. My configurations are:

• Unity 2020.3.17f1.907 (LTS)
• URP (Opaque/Depth Textures enabled --> Disable Depth Textures fixes the issue)
• Orthographic (!) Camera (changing it to perspective fixes the issue)
• Soft Particles enabled (Disabling fixes the issue, too)

I don't know, if any of the found fixes are "the way to go" to solve my problem. For me the only viable option is to disabling soft particles. But I don't know which consequences this could have. Every other option would break an essential part of my project.

I would appreciate any feedback or further information.

Thanks in advance!

Edit:
I found another solution shortly after posting this. My camera configuration is a little bit messed up. When setting too low or high values for Clipping Planes, the effect also does not show in front of objects. This is currently also an issue in Scene View with Dynamic Clipping enabled.

 

@Snorzze Hey, I'm still going to be away for some days, so I can't help much at the moment.

I know that Soft Particles does not work for Orthographic cameras out of the box as it requires you to render a depth texture, so you'll have to use Perspective. From what I recall, you can toggle this off on the materials (or there are alternative shaders included with SP disabled).

Overall Soft Particles will just make effects blend in better with the environment, and is not necessary.

 

Hey @Archanor,

thanks for the quick answer and further explanation. I will go with the option to disable soft particles.

 

I didn't see a separate thread for the Voxel Arsenal, but that's what I'm working with at the moment, and many of the effects, such as all the trail effects, are almost completely white, despite being supposed to be different colors. I can get a *little bit* more color to show through if I darken the starting color. But something seems to be wrong.

I'm on Unity 2020.3.25f1 and using URP 10.7. I've installed the URP Demo Materials Fix, and also tried all the other material fixes included, but there's no change.

 

@Brady You could try changing the material's shader to a Legacy particle shader. I don't remember what the trails use and I can't check fast as I need to download an updated version of Unity and the asset on slow internet. I believe it uses the Legacy/Particles/Alpha Blend or Additive shader which should work in URP.

Edit: Sorry for the delay, I will be taking a look at it very soon.

 

I bought the pack and it is really great, loads of good quality content ! I ran into a little problem and i can't seem to solve it.. I am using a muzzle flash (Pistol one), among others. When i move the muzzle flash gets left behind, I have tried to tick the world / local simulation space, and also on the renderer, sadly with no luck. Any idea as to what might be happening, or something painfully obvious i have missed?

Thanks!
Have a nice day,

Nicolai.

 

It should be set to Local at the top of the particle system. If it's set to World then the particle will linger where it was first instantiated. Also make sure to set the setting for all the sub-emitters.

The Renderer settings has to do with which way the particle meshes are facing.

Make sure the effect also is properly parented to the gun/character.

 

I like it, but CAN NOT use it in my current game which is HDRP. So doesn't work with HDRP. If I can find the time I will try converting it over. Dissapointing.
