Shimmering *aliassing issues*

Has anyone come up with any solid solutions to the shimmering , alias issues after building out a vr application ...it looks perfect when running the scene within the editor , but on build its just shimmery ...even got the alias settings on x8

 

What type of objects are you seeing shimmering?

Certain textures & geometries have a tendency to have this problem and . . . long straight lines against a high contrast background, leaves in high poly plants, and textures with lots of patterns.

Is this the type you're seeing a problem with or something else?

 

Look into increasing XRSettings.eyeTextureResolutionScale to between 1.2 to 2.0. This will scale the render output to the HMD at higher than default, which can lessen aliasing and shimmering. A good average target would be a setting of 1.4 with MSAA 4x or try 1.8 with no MSAA at all, whatever looks best while maintaining performance.

To do this, create a custom C# script and add the following to it:

Code (CSharp):

1. XRSettings.eyeTextureResolutionScale = 1.4f;

Then attach that script to an empty GameObject in the scene.

Yes, alot of the shimmering does occur along those long high contrast lines

 

I will give this option a try out and see if it at least reduces the issue

 

This is a really easy and effective solution that actually works, at the cost of very low performance, but it works. thanks
