Graphics [Removed from Asset Store]Cluster Mesh Rendering (rendering acceleration technique)

It is very useful， when it would be on the asset store？

 

I submitted the tool for approval on 14 June and is still not approve. It seems that the people that needs to test the tool they cannot follow the instructions on how to install the tool:

Initial setup: (it will not work if this step is not done).
1. After importing the tool you need to go to Window -> CRO Mesh Cluster.
2. Press Setup CRO Mesh Cluster (you must have an URP project)
3. Press URP -> CRO (this will convert all shaders from URP to CRO shaders)

Demo scene setup: (the demo will not work if the following steps are not done).
1: Open build setting
2. Add 00_Boot on position 0
3. Add 01_StaticScene on position 1
4. Add 02_DynamicScene on position 2
5. Add 03_CollectedScene_CRO_EXPORTED on position 3

I don't think it is too hard to follow but it seems that they don't want to approve the tool.
I'm starting to think if there are alternative ways to distribute it.

 

That's really sad

Maybe something like Patreon or Gumroad?
Nonetheless, good luck with the review process!

 

did you receive the "has been submitted for review" email?
(and can reply to that email and ask whats happening..)

 

The tool has been finally approved. Here is the link to the tool on the asset store:

New demo video has been released.

Let us know what you would like to see in the next video.

 

We've added a poll to address the comments about the tool.
If you want a live demo of the product, please vote for the preferred day of the weekend.

The Twitch live stream will be on December 11 at 12 EST or December 12 at 12 EST, based on the highest number of votes.
Please note that if lacking enough public interest, the stream will not be held.
Thanks for your attention!

 

Hi can you make a video with a oculus quest 2 ? I'm interested to see the performance on it, thanks !

 

Hi @al3d,
Thank you for your interest. We like to be transparent, so if you are going to use it for VR we don't recommend it right now. We have some issues to make it render efficiently. As I mentioned in an earlier post we render everything 8 times instead of 2 times, so the slow down is kinda bad. Even with that we are a little faster than the normal rendering from Unity, but this will depend on the number of triangles. As soon as we fix this issue we will let everyone know.

 

I bought the plug-in, but I felt very uncomfortable not seeing the demo in the video.

 

Hi @hsxhuang,
That is an old video when the code was still in work. I'll make a new video showing the same thing but using the new implementation.
Now it should be easier to do the same thing. Give me a day and I'll prepare a new video.

 

Hi @hsxhuang,

We managed to make a new video for the requested feature. It is showing you from start to end what you need to do.

One note the demo is using Unity 2022.1.04b and URP 13.4.1. We did not released yet the new shaders and scripts for this Unity version so that's the reason we include them from another folder. If you are using one the LTS version of Unity you should be fine with the shaders included.

Please let us know if this helps you or you need more help or info.

As you can see in the new video now every window has it's own visibility not longer showing the same result in every window. The current implementation has a lot more features comparing with the one from the old video. We hope this is useful also.

Take care,
CodeRoadOne

 

How can i buy it

 

Hi Kyriew,

Unfortunately we had to remove the tool from the Asset Store as it was getting impossible to support it for URP. Every time a change was made to URP it was breaking our rendering pipeline. Until we have a better way to support this we had remove it from Asset Store.
Sorry for that.

 

Sad, I was working on something similar recently, originally wanted to see your code

 

Sounds like this technique was doing Nanite like things 2 years before nanite was released! Congrats to OP for that accomplishment alone!

 

Have you considered moving to HDRP? From the looks of it, HDRP users will need this more than URP given the performance.
