Showcase Tension Tools: Open Source Package

Tension Tools



Overview
The project contents contains the all the code necessary to calculate tension data on inside a shader. It also contains some other tools generic tools required to create the "Skin" material that you see in the showcase above. The following implementation will work with Rigged Geometry as well as BlendShapes/MorphTargets.

Requirements

• At least Unity 2021.3.18f1
• This Noodle Demo in the showcase above requires the use of the Universal Render Pipeline although the package itself should work in any pipeline

Contents

Components:

• TensionData.cs

Shader Nodes:

• SampleTension
  • Samples the tension experienced by the mesh provided the renderer has a TensionData component.
• Subsurface Scattering
  • Calculates subsurface scattering.
• Simple Subsurface
  • Simplifies the process to calculate subsurface scattering but provides less inputs
• Simple Subsurface GI
  • Same as simple subsurface but applies global illumination
• Unpack Normal
  • Unpacks a normal map and applies a weight to its intensity.
• AO-Smoothness-Metalic
  • this node samples a texture and samples their weights.

Contributions are welcome.

Edit:
If any one does end up using this package in a project, I would love to shout them out in this projects readme on github.

 

Looks really good! Great work

 

@DevDunk thanks!

 

Great Work , I wonder is this compatible with HDRP ???

 

@Reanimate_L in theory it should work in HDRP, however one of the editor scripts will throw errors because I'm using a urp feature to draw the inspector preview.

 

I see, alright good to know. Thanks for the info

 

@Reanimate_L

Okay, I have now updated the package so it will support any render-pipeline including both HDRP & Built In.

Quick Edit:
However the demo noodle, only supports URP as of now.

 

Hey, I tried to use the package, seems some of the files are missing / corrupt when being pulled from Git (e.g. textures, lighting assets). Seems like a LFS issue.

 

Hey Qleenie,

Can you give me more info? What render pipeline are you using? Can you give me reproduction steps?

Edit: Okay! Sorry about that, I think your the first person to include the package in a project other than me. I think I resolved the issue. Could you add and remove the package from your project?

 

I tried different things, all failed (download zip, git clone, install as package in a new project). The reason is your LFS quota is exceeded, so all LFS files are not accessible. I guess there is some sort of LFS quota for open / free repros on Github (I am using a paid Github account, which is quite expensive for large amount of LFS space).
Tried again today, same issue (at least on clone and download zip).

 

Ahh, I ran out of bandwidth for the repository. It should be okay now.
