[Released] R.A.M River Auto Material.

hi ,is it possible to create floods ( flash floods )using this asset.

 

Not in current version.

 

The RamSpline and RamSplineEditor classes are great! I'm already using them for more stuff than rivers - great job on spline profiles, seamless connections, being able to split at control points, customize vertex density, the gizmos are great, I could go on.. what a treat!

 

Thanks

 

it doesn't work the object just always behid the water

 

You want to make it invisible under water?

 

as in the picture . the charact plane is bewlow mesh half body and above plane half body.
i should see the head is above water plane but when i set the material render queue to 3001 the water is always show behind the character that use standard fade shader . if i set the mater rneder queue lower than 3000 i can see the character head is above the water plane but the buttom part of the character is hided by water.

 

So it's sprite this give alot. Please show me this transparent object setup with it's material. It's rather not water issue but proper sprite setup and depth buffer write/read.

Seams it's engine limit at unity standard. Btw why you don't use cutout shader at character it's non transparent object.

Make note that at unity standard transparent objects don't recive shadows - engine limit

 

Not a sprite. But it is a Standard(Fade) sahder Material that put in a Plane mesh 3d.
The issue also happen with Legacy Transparent sahder and other kind of transparent.

But cutout shader is working . (but my game need to use transparent shader)

 

I tested that with unity defult shaders and it have same issues. I guess this is how transparent/fade shaders works at unity standard.
Unity transparent vs unity fade shader. As you see first overwrite second, no depth buffer.

I will try to search on Google about transparent shader with debt z buffer
Thank you so much

 

"Copying assembly from 'Temp/UnityEngine.UI.dll' to 'Library/ScriptAssemblies/UnityEngine.UI.dll' failed"
hi can someone help me to come out of that above mentioned error
thank you

 

Not related to asset. Something with engine.

Hi, I use RAM2019 ver1.4.7 in Unity 2020.3, HDRP 10.4 project and I have a problem when I try to connect a river with a lake. I blended the river with the lake via vertex alpha in spline vertex painter but the river became transparent that it can see the floor instead of seeing the lake surface. Do you have any suggestions to fix this problem?

 

Have you tried, depth mask shader, I had made a 2d game years ago, and we used this with some of our transparent issues kinda like this.

 

OMG. the sahder is already in the builtin or I have to search on Google?
Thank you so much to tell me about this.

Is this the shader that you use .

** sorry for my beginner English skill

 

SSR turned on at water material? it's known engine bug that it turn off depth buffer.

 

Yes, SSR was turning on. And when I turned it off, It works! Thank you so much

 

Still a bit buggy in this area, unity just add ssr at transparent objects and it need some love still

 

I was wondering if you were planning to fix this bug. It would be great if I could use ssr in my project.

 

Its engine bug/feature. In past version ssr didnt work at transparent objects at all. Support was added in just latest version and unity expand functionality step by step.

 

does this work on the android platform?
when I switch to the android platform, this is not working. can anyone please help me?

 

use mobile variant of the shader - mobile materials.

 

Hello, we're getting this on nearly all NM shaders upgrading to HDRP 10.7, also downloaded the RAM 2019 package again. Any clues / help you can provide?

https://docs.unity.cn/Packages/com.unity.shadergraph@10.7/changelog/CHANGELOG.html
Note about:

Code (CSharp):

1. Fixed the incorrect value written to the VT feedback buffer when VT is not used.

Seems somewhat relevant to this error message on all the shaders:

Shader error in 'NatureManufacture/HDRP/Lit/Top Cover': invalid subscript 'vtPackedFeedback' at line 11497 (on d3d11)



Compiling Vertex program with DECALS_OFF _BLENDMODE_OFF _REFRACTION_OFF

Platform defines: SHADER_API_DESKT.....

 

Please write support message in one place at the same time. You have answer at e-mail In fact just turn on texture streaming checkbox as they add it in 2020.3 with 10.7. Make also note that 10.7 is not default hd rp version for tht engine version and recomeneded by unity yet. Seams it's 10.5 is default and 10.6 is recomended. We support only final, official versions to avoid huge mess, huge files and multiple updates every few weeks for all assets.

 

@NatureManufacture I am using RAM river material 2019 together with Gaia Pro. When trying to change terrain around the edges of a river, how do you change the various textures available. It looks like Gaia's textures has taken over the ones I see in the demo and you are showing in the tutorial. The only one I see is the one with sand:

 

It read textures from your terrain layers. You can chose any texture that you got in terrain.

 

I'm having an issue building to Mac. It's Unity 2019.4, Mac Mojave, the shader is non tesselated. Any suggestions?

 

Turn off z write at shader code - its mac issue at unity since many years.

 

Hello,
I am using R..A.M and Vegetations Studio Pro, when I change the settings in R.A.M Terrain Remove Trees and Remove Details Foliage nothing happens, am I missing a step here?

 

This function is used to remvoe foliage from terrain data. When you use vs pro you got whole foliage at vs pro and terrain tree and grass data is turned off. With vs pro you can remove foliage via biome. (R.A.M) could generate biome area for river.

 

Hi,
I've just upgraded to Unity 2021.2.0f1 with HDRP. Now the NatureManufacture shaders arent working anymore. Will this version be supported?

 

I have the same issue @NatureManufacture

 

Update will be available in few hours. Please be patient.

 

Hi, ram 2019 will not conform/carve my terrain when I use it. Using unity 2019.4.9. Is there something I missed?. Am using RAM 2019 1.4.4.

UPDATE: I opened empty project, loaded RAM 2019, made a terrain and river spline and now it carves terrain. Im trying to work on a 16 x 16k terrain made in world machine and Im using microsplat, unistorm, and lux water so far. Could these progs or terrain size screw up RAM terrain carve

UPDATE: Ok, I loaded my terrain from world machine according to size and resolution (16000 x 16000 with a height of 10000 with map resolution set to 4097 and RAM will not carve. What are the terrain size and resolution limitations for RAM.

UPDATE: RAM will not carve or paint river beds with terrain exceeding 10000 x 10000 dimension on unity terrain. I wish I knew this prior. Question is, why will Cascade carve terrain larger then 10000x10000? Is their a script adjustment that can be made for RAM to accomodate or is it a floating point precision issue? I know, I know, why am I using excessively large terrain? Because its an amazing terrain done in world machine that looks crappy smaller conforming to unity terrain size. I wanted to do what I could to it before I chunked it up and doing rivers is one of them.

 

Hi
Did you chose layer to carve? By default it's set to nothing, you must chose layer in carve setup and set it to same as terrain, so probbably you need to set it to default. There is no matter what resolution your terrain have, it will work.

 

Hi NM, can RAM 2019 bake the ready made rivers and lakes, so that it becomes a standard unity game object w/o all the NM code?

 

You can export lake and river into obj but you will lost option to modify it without splines.

 

Using Unity2020.3.24 and when I add a lake polygon bigger than about 20 points, I start getting an Application.tik every time I try to do anything with the mouse. Is it because it is trying to do things in real time and can I change a setting to stop that from happening. It is making it hard to do anything because it takes so long everytime I press the mouse and release?

 

Its not about points but about area. If you make huge lake even with 3 points you will get same result. It's because mesh cross 64 or 32k triangles engine slowdown alot. There is solution for that, for huge lakes please reduce mesh density - increase triangle size.

 

Hi, does anyone have any ideas what is causing/how to solve these errors? Thanks in advance. I included the first two Vegetation Studio Errors too just in case. Thanks again.

Many thanks and apreciation again.

 

If you removed vegetation studio from your project clear namspace in plaeyr settings and restart engine.

 

Thanks NM, Vegetation Studio Pro is in my project.

I reinstalled VSPro and RAM to make sure I hadnt left an olf file from previous versions in project and the errors are the same.
Any ideas what to try next? (uUnity 2019.4.34f by the way.

Thanks again

 

Do not reinstal anything, did you clean namespace and restart engine?

 

Yes, I removed VEGETATION_STUDIO and left VEGETATION_STUDIO_PRO and have restared a few times. Still the same.

 

Having a problem and haven't figured a way out of it yet.. I've got Lake1 <-> River <-> Lake2. I've followed the tutorial video (R.A.M 2019 - River Auto Material 2019 Tutorial - YouTube) specifically the river/lake alpha connections part, but I can't seem to get rid of these seams. Any suggestions on where I'm going wrong?

 

Ok but did lake render queue is lower then river? River for example should have 3000 , lake 2999

 

May I ask what are the advantage of using this over Gena Pro river?
Is RAM more performant and suitable for Oculus Quest VR?

 

R.A.M is technology released and all the time updated since 2017, it support lakes, sea, rivers, swamp, stylized or not and huge amount of water styles etc..
Anyway I think your question a bit out of place. It's r.a.m thread and we talk about r.a.m asset here, not other third party solutions. Im not here to judge other publishers products, compare them, or advertise my own, that woudn't be polite and fair from my side.

 

There will be new r.a.m tutorial with our latest pack mountain environment - dynamic nature pack. Soon I will show how I build that scene step by step, from first mouse click into post processing and final render.
