    Sky Master ULTIMATE is now on -50% SALE !!!!

    UPGRADE OFFERS DURING BLACK FRIDAY SALE !!!

    Sky Master ULTIMATE users can now upgrade to the following assets for only $5.
    InfiniCLOUD HDRP, Sun Shaft SRP and Volumetric Fog SRP for the HDRP and LWRP pipelines.

    And upgrade to InfiniGRASS for only $20 (vs $60) for a limited time !!!!!
    Also upgrade to Particle Dynamic Magic v2.0 for $20 (vs $69) !!!


    Enjoy :)

    Are you using a MAC ? Is the water like that in builds also ? I had one other client report similar Unity bug in MACs, is solved if you put openGL in graphics setting, than Metal.

    About post effects, perhaps there is the same naming as the Unity image effects, i can solve that by naming the asset differently, let me know which library you use and will handle it asap.

    I sent a patch in PM for the volumetric lights issue, also uploaded the new version to the store and added a few links about the Metal and OpenGL settings in Mac for reference.

    About performance this is maybe also due to using Metal and something bottlenecks it, because demos run fast on my 2 years old windows DELL laptop. The sunset one is a big heavy in general though, so you can try the prefab in empty scene and also the performance ones that lowers a bit the sampling rates, the system can be tweaked in many ways for performance and even run on mobile, so i can guide to which settings you could use to get better speeds for laptop range of hardware as well.

    The main performance tweaks in the clouds script on camera are the level 1 and L sampling factors, the downscale factor near the script end (need reset checkbox to change to new setting) and the split per frames (recommend 1 to 2 there), plus a few more options for reprojections if use more than 2 split per frames value.

    Also check the following link about performance on max book, there is a chance unity is using the base GPU than the separate one as well, so this is another thing to consider checking.

    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8507108

    Another thing to consider is the resolution Unity is running, e.g. if PC is 4K might have a general slow down that would be amplified by the volumetric effect which is generally heavy and resolution dependent.

    Please let me know if these address the issues and for anything else that may come up.

    Update:

    Sky Master ULTIMATE v4.9.5 has been submitted to the store

    v4.9.5
    -
    Fixed issue where the new volumetric light system conflicted with the standard assets "post image effect base" script from Unity
    - Fixed issue where the sky color would not update instantly in editor time when time of day is changed rapidly.
    - Added variable to allow instant color change when in play mode as option, if instant shifting to other times of day is needed during gameplay.

    The sky coloration related changes apply to the gradient and curve based sky coloration method.

    Sky Master ULTIMATE v4.9.6 has been submitted to the Unity Asset Store

    v.4.9.6
    - Solved issue with water having artifacts on MACs, when Metal is used with deferred mode. Reason was that "Zwrite Off" directive was not enabled in the water shader. A MAC version of the shader has been included with this change. Also is possible to use the current version by disabling the edge effect in the Base water script.
    - Addressed an issue where downscaling for reflections would not affect the far distance and "L sampling" factors
    - Disabled colliders in some of the water planes
    - Adjust default water fog start distance higher

    Dont see why people wouldnt use SkyMasterUltimate

    I've had to create sky and weather effects in the past manually and dont recommend it

    The speed and quality of results make this a million X easier

    Sky Master ULTIMATE v4.9.6 has been release at the Unity Asset Store !!!

    - Solved issue with water having artifacts on MACs, when Metal is used with deferred mode. Reason was that "Zwrite Off" directive was not enabled in the water shader. A MAC version of the shader has been included with this change. Also is possible to use the current Windows shader version by disabling the edge effect in the Base water script or using Forward rendering path or use OpenGL instead of Metal, as extra options.

    UPDATE:

    A note on volumetric fog SRP system (upgradable from Sky Master ULTIMATE), there is an issue in post processing stack v2.0 (bug from Unity side) in iOS that prevents it from running correctly, i have sent a request to Unity to fix it and wait for response on the matter.

    Issue tracker related to the problem, for reference:

    InfiniCLOUD HDRP




    Oceanis HDRP





    Hi,

    The system is not yet fully adapted to HDRP, but the InfiniCLOUD system and the Oceanis HDRP Water are now ported to it and i plan to adapt both to a HDRP release (or just enable them if HDRP is used).

    Though HDRP has an issue right now as there is a serious bug that prevents from using a 2ond camera and a Unity terrain, so i cannot do any HDRP release until Unity 2019.3 final release where they (hopefully) fix this issue, but you could still use my water without the shore lines system (as this needs a 2ond camera render terrain depth) or without Unity terrain and the HDRP clouds.

    The upgrade to InfiniCLOUD HDRP is $5 if own Sky Master ULTIMATE and upgrade to all SRP releated assets will be similar. Also upgrade to the Oceanis HDRP water will be also discounted at first release.

    Hi,

    Not to my knowledge, but have not tried with this system.

    I generally never had an issue with other image effects i used together.
