    ORION Space Scene Generation framework is the next big ARTnGAME asset that is planned to cover all space scene generation aspects, from procedural planets and spaceships to any relevant special effects.

    The system base is the Standard Pipeline, all pipelines are supported for the planet and texture generation, the image effect based modules will be converted to URP-HDRP during the Beta phase, some may require a total re-write, thus can take some time to fully realize.

    That looks great!
    I have a few questions:
    1. Does this include a fade in / out to actually land on a planet, like the Space Graphics toolkit has?
    2. Are heightmaps generated that can be used in terrain, like heightmaps for Gaia Pro stamps?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    There is full volumetric atmosphere only in Standard pipeline for now, the URP-HDRP will be getting this module in later updates, as i work on this for all my related assets (sky master and Orion)

    There is no extra system for transition from outside to inside side of planet atm, will check what could be added in this regard and post here on this.

    The planet generation with LODs and physics will work on all pipelines, will be testing this also further.

    The system is not mainly a terrain maker, more focused on procedurally making round planets, but for sure heightmaps could be potentially extracted from the procedural planet generator, so will add this in the to do list.

    Let me know for anything else.

    Hi,

    I adapted the atmosphere shader to display the fog when on the planet as well and seem to work great, so this mode should come in the first update after the store release. I attach a photo for reference.

    Thanks for the suggestions and feedback.

    Work in progress for next updates, to enable Shader based atmosphere fly through option for all pipelines (currently support only view from outside planet) and work on Image effect based atmosphere for adding more options and port to URP-HDRP.

    Tests with Sky Master UTLIMATE full volumetric clouds for use with ORION, a demo combining the two is in development and will be available soon.

    Test of volumetric shadows from the clouds on atmosphere.

    In addition, currently I use Grand Designer (Pro) (https://www.ignishot.com/grand-designer.html). This is a standalone tool, built in Unity. It runs through Steam, though. Your asset is certainly going in that direction, which is a good thing :)

    Hi,

    I am glad you like the system, i have also finished a first version of the space to planet full transition using the shader based atmosphere module, this will work on all pipelines.


    Let me know for any suggestions as well and will add on the to do for next updates

    It looks interesting! I'll ask the devs and art of another project I'm working on if there's more what they'd like to see.

    In relation to the above I have a quick question:
    From the description of InfiniTree I understand the same can be done with InfiniGrass and that InfiniTree will soon reach its end.
    There's one thing I'd like a bit clarification about:
    "Also InfiniTREE may be used along side InfiniGRASS."
    What is then the benefit of using InfinitTree?

    Especially because of this in the same description:
    "The new InfiniTREE Pro upgrade will also be soon available and will support Unity versions 2019 and above and all pipelines."

    Thanks for the help!
    I bought Orion and a few other packages I already had on my wish list. It turned out I already had InfiniCLOUD :D

    TREANT: Tree and Vines Generator



    Hi,

    Great :), hope enjoy all assets !!!

    Note that InfiniTREE is not at end of life for sure, the system allows for procedural L-Trees created automatically upon planting, this is not the case with InfiniGRASS which does create unique brushes based on ground, but is not creating procedural trees on the fly like InfiniTREE.

    At some point maybe the two are merged, which is possible, but will be a different asset that combine them for example. Also InfiniTREE has a nice tree chopping demo based on the procedural trees and was lately updated with HDRP version as well :)

    So each asset serve a specific purpose :), same will be for the upcoming TREANT: Tree and Vines Generator, which is about creating trees using L-Tree and Spline system for bark and branches, for total control of the tree look that will also respect the environment obstacles. Also will handle vines and combinations of the two. The system will optimize and batch the created tree meshes, but will not optimize trees by grouping them on the fly as InfiniGRASS or IntiniTREE, so it created can be used in either system for group optimization or supply InfiniTREE with unique tree parts for its full procedural trees etc.

    I attach few videos showing the new TREANT system for reference.

    About a Pro version of IntiniTREE, this is indeed planned and will cover all pipelines, maybe add new features, also maybe just add URP in the same package and make a Pro later when add more features etc. Seemed was easier than i though to support the pipelines for the system, so perhaps not need to move to a Pro version directly for that purpose.

    Let me know for any more clarifications

    Ah, thanks for the clarification! I might buy the InfiniTREE after all :)
    The TREANT/InfiniPLANT seems very interesting as well!
    Would it be possible to make Liana's with them as well, slow growing, maybe. Liana's players could use to swing on, etc?

    It will be interesting to see how it compares to Broccoli and Gaia.

    BTW, can the resulting trees be used in GAIA (pro)? And Can InfiniTREE work Trees created in Broccoli?

    Thanks again!

    Maybe I'd better move these questions to the forum thread about InfiniTREE :D

    Not sure as have not tried any of those assets :), but for sure will be working to put together my foliage systems with the gpu land system PANGAEA.

    About growing there is big plans for both the coming grass and trees assets, stay tuned for news here :), real seasonal growths with on the fly appearing meshes is in the works :) and in rather advanced state.

    Awesome!

    I'll test it with GAIA and such when I get there. I'll let you know how it goes.

    Back to the original topic:
    One of our team members was wondering if Orion could also have Fly-through nebula's?

    Shader based nebula


    Image effect based Nebula WIP (Standard Pipeline) - At time 9.11


    Particle based Nebula (all pipelines) - At time 3.35


    The fly throughs are generally WIP, though i have a base setup for standard pipeline that is the base of any upcoming nebula work, hopefully can have a more complete version soon for the image effect based.

    There is also few more options, a simpler particle based one and the shader based on domes, that can potentially be parented to the camera and make seem like a fly through, but though trickery

    I post some samples of the various modules above.

    Great work! You're really making an awesome tool!

    Additionally from me:
    Is there a way (in the future) to generate (partial) maps from the planets? Not a heightmap, but a map to use an in-game map sorta speak.

    You mean like a top - down map camera rendering in a non spherical case ?

    Top-down, yes, but not a map camera rendering. More like when you pull up a map with a hotkey and then you get to view the entire map (or part of it, depending on how a game dev would want that).

    I see, interesting. Do you have a sample of a game that does something similar in mind ?

    A video would be great also, if exist.

    Generally i think would be possible, but have to look more specifically on it to be 100% sure :)

    Well, basically all MMORPG's have a map that you pull up with a hotkey. Usually press M and the map appears. Those maps are handmade, I think. Not rendered.

    Here's an example of Lord of the Rings online. The Map is opened by pressing M.


    Or maybe have a map generated which we can edit (place city names and such) in an outside program and then import into our game.

    I see, yes that would be very interesting :), i will for sure add in to do for both ORION and the coming PANGAEA.

    A very detailed offline render with filters could potentially create something to use directly or export as base to edit and use.

    Very cool idea :), thanks

    UPDATE:

    New fully volumetric Nebula effect is now in the works for the URP version and the first version of the effect is already working, will take a bit more to fully realize and will post a video soon.
