3D Rocky Hills Environment Pack - Development Thread

Can you try to be a little bit clearer on that! Do you mean that your prefabs appear pink? Most likely you are using the wrong pipeline, Rocky Hills Environment - Mega Pack (no SRP) is made for the Built-in render pipeline, not URP. Rocky Hills Environment - Mega Pack (SRP) is made for the URP and HDRP pipeline with the default pipeline being URP.

Post some screenshots!

Here's the fix for URP if you are using this pipeline. Just install this over your URP project!

 

Actually, try this new update, it's the latest fix.

 

• CTI URP fix - 11.26.2021

URP is fully functional in the newer versions of Unity as well now, use this fix pack if it broke for you! Tested on Unity 2021.2.3f1!

 

I just tested CTI URP in version Unity 2020.3.23f1 and you should use the previous fix, "RHE-2021_Shaders fix_URP.unitypackage" here because RHE-2021_Shaders fix_URP_12.0_b9.unityp seems to no longer work. Try either one or the other, should work in the version you're using. HDRP seems to be working fine in all versions with the fix pack.

 

I'm currently updating Rocky Hills with my new shader since Unity advised me to update for the newest version. Update coming Before July 24. New shader with custom normals.

 

Testing out the shading and lighting of the foliage.

 

Testing my shader and light more in Unity.

 

Hello,

I have a lil problem with the CTI HDRP HSLSshaders. The Billboard shader is not compiling, when tree's switch to billboard mode they're just a grey silhouette of the tree. I installed every fix and stuff that was mentioned on the store page, the included readmes and here in this thread. I also tried reimporting the shaders like suggested in the CTI thread.

The shader is always showing the following error:


(Note: The same error is for the billboard shaders in the HDRP 7.2 variant, I tried both shaders on the matieral)

Here is how the trees look then in billboard mode:


When I move further away all the other trees become the same grey blob too.


Is there another HDRP shader fix needed or something?

I'm Using Unity 2021.2.7f with HDRP 12.1.2

Hope you can help me solve the issues. Thank you!

 

Hi, I haven't seen this bug before, so did you try both versions of the fixes? You need to try one or the other, it varies on every version. I could DM you the version I have in 2021.2.3 but in the meantime, CTI is not made by me, being a third party, you can ask Lars in this thread https://forum.unity.com/threads/released-custom-tree-importer.263224/page-17, he always helps out and knows what to do.

 

Added the grass layer on the terrain (WIP).

 

The author of CTI posted me an HDRP version of his shaders for shadergraph - those are working fine but you have to make a little adjustment to the shdaergraphs work with the textures like they were before. Or extract some alpha textures to separate maps.

 

Excellent, glad it worked and thanks for the update.

 

New Update with new shaders coming this month. Also, I experimented with HDRP lighting.

 

Awesome screens, eagerly waiting for the new shaders coming!!

 

Thanks, I'm actually going to upload it soon, it will be up on the store within a few days.

 

Update V4.0 is now online, let me know how it works!

https://assetstore.unity.com/packag.../rocky-hills-environment-mega-pack-srp-193150

 

I made a small mistake, I will correct it now, the download version you need is Unity 2021.2.3f1.

 

~Things that still need improving~

• Check if it works with SRP 13
• Update the older versions of 2020
  
• Add update for built-in
• Keep improving the (TFS) shaders
• Make the shaders work with my new wind script and add it
• Make a brand new HDRP water shader, the old one doesn't really work yet
• Finish the (TFS) scene
• Make new cliffs
• Finish secret scene

 

The pack has been tested in Unity 2022.1.0b4 (beta) and works with SRP 13. There shouldn't be any shader breaking issues

Working in Unity 2021.2.3f1 up to 2022.1.0b4 (beta)

 

I'm working to bring the new updates for the built-in pipeline now, also if you find the translucency in URP to strong turn it down to about 5 or 7, I forgot to tune the values!

 

Buit-in version has been updated!

Hi in HDRP, do you think this asset is compaible with Enviro (HDRP version) and do you think the vegetation (CTI or TFS) will be compatible with Vegetation Engine System ? Thank's

 

It should be, any other asset pack that works with the terrain system should work right out of the box. I haven't tested the Vegetation Engine but all the trees have vertex colors so, in theory, it should work. You have two types of shaders (CTI) and (TFS - my shader). Let me know how it goes, I'm offering a refund if it doesn't work out for you.

 

Great, if all the shaders are in two versions; CTI and TFS it should works, Vegetation Engine Systeme says that it's compatible with :
✓ Tobyfredson - Rocky Hills CTI vegetation assets
Thank's a lot for your reactivity !
Any chance (otherwise it doesn't matter) Is it possible to download a Build of your youtube demo ?

 

I haven't made a build yet but I might consider it. If you want I could try making a build and sending it to you some time.

 

Thank you very much for your proposal, I just sent you an email (with the one indicated on the Assetstore) with my email!
Your asset seems to be outstanding !

 

I'll send you a build soon, any moment now.

 

Could you send me the email again something must of wnt wrong, It seems to be gone for some reason?

 

Hello, I purchased the Rocky Hills Environment Mega Pack and applied it to the HDRP project. This process is to receive the asset installation->I exported 2021_Shaders fix_b package to my project. ->Check if there is no CTI runtime component URP HLSL.->Scenes_HDRP FallScene Play->But my prefab is still pink. So I put hdrp data one by one in prepab, and I upload it because I think something is wrong. This screen shows the current status of my project.

 

Hello, it looks like indeed something went wrong. That is rather strange I don't see any compile errors either. Can you snapshot me the errors if there are any? Also did you try to apply this fix instead? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yeGjFDmQH4OPSd79w3YnXcrQN1c5FRwj/view

Why are only some of the cliff shaders pink while others aren't? Are you saying you attempted to manually convert the shaders?
Did you try the step-by-step in a fresh project, just so we can identify the issue?

 

First, make sure you install the HDRP installation package from the root folder, then apply the fix. You shouldn't be converting it manually, it should work.

 

1. There is no error.
2. That's right. The drive has applied fix_b update. But my UNI.T version is 2020.3 version. Is there a problem with this?
3. The reason why only some of the shaders are pink is because I applied fix_b update and all the materials came out in pink, so one by one.
I changed the existing version to hdrp. (ex) I changed the tree to tree_hdrp) I didn't change the rest of the pink, or I didn't know what to change it to because I didn't use a shader called standard.
4. I'm currently deleting the file and downloading it again from a new project.

Another new problem. You can see the tree from a distance, but it turns white when you get closer. First, I will experiment with a new project and let you know again. Lastly, I am not familiar with English because I live in Korea. I apologize in advance.



p.s I couldn't check because I'm reinstalling it now, but I looked it up earlier and found that there was no RHE_MEGA Pack-HDRP SETUP file. Where can I get it from? Is it included in the existing project?

 

Oh my god... I thought the rp version and the srp version were the same, but they were different. I'll download the srp version again...

 

Oh no they are definitely different, make sure you make a new appropriate template in Unity for the project you are using (core 3d - built-in, URP, or HDRP) then import the appropriate package.

This is for Built-in only: Rocky Hills Mega Pack
This is for (SRP) only (URP + HDRP): Rocky Hills Mega Pack (SRP)
*The SRP version works out of the box with URP, it has an HDRP conversion pack inside but first you need to make an HDRP template and import the pack in that first, then import the "HDRP conversion pack" then after that import the fix for Unity 2020.3. Not, all 3 pipelines are incompatible with echother.

Sorry for all the confusion!

 

Approaching some of the prefabs (cliffs) causes my view to go pitch black. Any ideas what's causing this?

 

Hi, what version of Unity do you have? If you downloaded using the using Unity 2021.2.3f1 or higher this problem has been fixed but here's what you can do to stop that from happening in your current version:

1. Got to your camera and check the "stop screen NaNs" checkbox. This will stop the screen from flickering.


2. If you own Amplify Shader Editor, just open the shaders and remove the "normal intensity" node from all normal maps. According to some sources and testing, that might be the main cause for the flickering.

Here is a link if you need some info on NaNs: https://forum.unity.com/threads/sol...flickering black screen,it, you must solve it.

Basically, it happens when there's a out of range value on screen, in my case the normal intensity perhaps.

 

Anyone tried this on mobile? How does it perform?
Is there an APK available?

 

Hi, what pipeline and target platform are you trying to use?

Here's a quick build of a heavy HDRP scene at ultra settings for PC: 40fps for me. This is without any optimization on a I5 pc.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Jowstt9wILKPUjJikWBoYU-QPlzYliOG/view

My new shader (TFS) might possibly be suited for mobile, it has a version for Built in and URP.

 

was using 2020.3.27 I'm currently updating to 2021.2.7 and will reimport package. Hoping it works.

 

everything is working as it should be now, ty

 

Hello author, great pack btw. I want to go for a simpler stylize look. Do you know a workflow or tool to simplify all the textures's details ? Imagine the manual work will take ages.

 

Hello, and thank you! My best guess would be to blur out the texture, then extract the simple cavity map out of the normals with reduced details, and get back some edge details in it. I'd do this in Substance designer.

I think this sort of look is possible that way.



As for tools, I haven't looked it up.

 

Well, I asked specifically for mobile android. Looking for an APK. The original package used to be with mobile in mind too, but on the updates I see it has become mostly pc oriented and I'm curious to see if I could run this on a regular android device before I purchase it.

 

Sorry for the delayed reply, what I meant was, what was your pipeline of choice for the APK? I got it wrong.

No I haven't tried a APK but I think it might run on 20 to 30fps, that's just my guess. On Pc, URP runs at 60 fps. I don't think any PC build will be helpful for you.

Yes you are right it was made for PC in mind, I think it's a bit heavy despite it being very low poly. If you use the lowest lods possible and make some optimization it could be possible. I might try to make APK but it won't be to soon so I have two suggestions: A. you can wait a bit longer till there's a APK built or B. you can buy it now and if it doesn't perform you can ask for a refund, in addition I'll give you a free voucher to another pack.

 

Hello,

i bought your asset and imported it to my URP Project in 2020.3.27f1, but i have issues with a shader, could you please help me? I also tried to reimport everything but still the same.



Thanks

 

Have you tried installing the URP fix for 2020.3?
Try either one of these:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZAH86k7kZ86Fi5I4Rs0b7T4agVbNhUGM/view
------
By the way a side note but I didn't get to update version 2020.x, etc yet, so that's why you have to install the fixes in the description, there's new updates, new shaders, models and scenes if you download this pack with Unity 2021.2.3f1 or above and works right out of the box.

 

Hi

thank you for your fast answer!!

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1U382fSRdI35VJXsjaNt_EQuBEqvYzE_A/view

This one worked for me (Unity 2020.3.27f1 - URP 10.8.1)

Sorry for maybe waste your time, i have seen the fixes in the thread but as it has "2021" in the name i thought its just for Unity 2021 and the 12.x Version of URP.

I'm happy with my sales deal and the good support! I will leave you a 5 start review


Edit:

maybe you should add the fixes with the versions labled in the asset store page.

 

Thank you kindly! If there's anything else let mew know

 

Thank you! that looks great.
