Toon Series [growing content; stylized 3D art]

Can you give some teaser on harbour, on the final builded scene, im exited.

 

I will, very soon.
I just started to build the scene and there's nothing much to show at the moment.

 

Now i have all your toon packages except toon people, now i just need harbour. Any pics on harbour?

 

For those of us who are new here, is there a sample object that we can import into our project to 'kick the tires' and see how one would use the output and use it in our project to walk around (2d)

 

Hello

Yes, you can download Toon Gas Station, it's free:
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/urban/toon-gas-station-155369

I don't know how it will look like in a 2D project, but it might be fun to try it out.

 

A lot later than I would have hoped, but here are some screenshots from the demo scene (still WIP at the time of taking the shots).
The final scene will include a lot more details, because I got a bit carried away with modeling assets and the total number is around 1500... This is also the reason of the delayed launch.

 

Harbor screenshots look great. You definitely put a lot of work into it!

 

1500 pieces is alot, what price range and release date are u expecting?

 

Thanks! Yeah, I went a bit to the extreme this time

 

The price will probably be $53. I hope to submit it this week, over the weekend, just some lighting and some testing left.

 

please post your video of the harbour when ready, im so excited. what will your next project be like, any new houses on the horizon? like suburban ones

 

Here it is:
Toon Harbor Pack

It's still new, the HD version hasn't been processed yet.

And yes, the new pack will be a suburban pack
Some content updates in the mean time are planned though.

 

that harbour asset looks really amazing, cant wait to test it, and suburban house pack is exciting me even more. great job.

 

How about some new selections for the "What would you like to see added in the Toon Series" poll?

Since some of the ones on the current poll have been done.

 

Definitely.

 

TOON HARBOR PACK has been accepted and it's live:

Really great Habor! Will buy for sure. Question. Can you please add professions to the character asset? We need Police, Firefighter and Medic :/

 

Did you start a new package?

 

Yes, Toon Suburban Pack is about 75% done, I'll post some screenshots as soon as I assemble some areas in Unity

 

Hi @marincastefan
I hope this the right place to ask this.
We have bought Toon City pack, everything looks good so far, but there is something I need your help with.
you have categorized every alike things in Demo_Scene_1 like Buildings, Billboards, Stairs, Antennas etc. but the problem arise when let say if I have to disable or destroy a Building, it gets disappeared but the props like Billboards, Stairs, Antennas stay as it is like they are hanging in the air which looks really weird. (Attached an image)
What can I do to make them disappear with building altogether.
Of course I can make props child of the buildings but as you know city is huge and will take way so much time to make them so.

Is there any alternative to do it?

 

Yes, the right place

Unfortunately, the extra props have been placed independently of the buildings and probably the only way is to group them as child/parent.

 

Cool. What is after the suburbs?

I finally had time to mess around with the Harbor pack (bought/downloaded weeks ago no time to try it out). Love the modular aspect of the buildings and components. It fits in really well with the earlier Toon Industry pack too. Some of the modular pieces from harbor will find their way into my current project.

 

That's awesome to hear!

After Toon Suburbs, I'll start rolling out some content updates for existing packs. After that, probably a forest/nnature pack with different (but still toon styled) vegetation.

 

Hi again @marincastefan,

I am facing another issue in the Tooncity asset I bought regarding scene lighting,
Actually the scene has some extra shadow other than one which is generating by sun(directional light) which is fine but this other shadow is so weird and it appears and disappears whenever my player moves in the game or in scene view when I move my look around.
Attaching a link for a video showing the issue.
Please help!

Hello again

First, make sure you have the newest version of the pack from the Asset Store, the previous version had an older version of the shaders (haven't seen weird effects like these with the older shaders, but you never know).

Could you provide some more details about the lighting settings used in the project?
Also, what pipeline and what version of Unity are you using?

I'm not sure, but it looks like this issue might be originating from shadow or lighting settings (Project Settings/Quality, Graphics. etc).

Depending on the pipeline, the location of those settings will change.

 

Hi @marincastefan thanks for replying.

I'm sure I'm using latest package from unity store.

let me add more images to show my all the settings related to lighting.


Adding link for another video to show you the issue again :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ACWzrB6SDUJUv8ecDSYEcKp4DK0aCDRv/view?usp=sharing

Also there is so much jittering and flickering can be seen on the trees around the city

Please let me know if you want anything else

 

This looks like it's worth investigating.
Just a couple more questions, what Unity version and pipeline are you using?
And is the pack imported in a fresh project, or an existing one?
Also, if you disable the post processing effects do the artefacts disappear?

 

• Unity version : 2020.2.3f1
• Pipeline : URP
• Pack imported in a fresh project.
• Issue is still there even if I disable Post Processing.

 

Thanks for the info:

I'll look into it and gat back to you soon.

 

First of all, thanks for bringing the issue to my attention, the fix is already planned for a quick update in the next few days.
Until the update goes live, you can install the attached .unitypackage file, in your URP project (After the initial installation of the URP installer).
It replaces the Toon shaders with an updated version that fixes the shadow flickering.

 

Hi,
I used this package the way you mentioned but nothing happened..

 

I've tested it again and it works on my end. Same Unity version, same problem, same fix.
Please check the attached video. Recorded after the URP installation.

 

Video unavailable. It is a private video

 

Sorry about that. It should be available now.

 

I have tried with the unity package you shared but it didn't work for me.
May I know ,
What is your lighting settings, post processing settings and everything?

 

The default settings, I used the same conditions as you posted above, clean Unity project, 2020.2.3f1, and the Toon City pack 1.4 from the Asset Store.
I'm starting to get lost here
I have the same issue with the flickering, but the new shaders solve it for me.

However, I just submitted the update for Toon City and usually it doesn't take more than a day to go live, that (hopefully) will fix the issues.

 

Sure, I will check and get back to you.
Thanks

 

do you have any pictures of the suburban package now, how is everything going?

 

Yes actually, almost finished with the demo scene. Only some presets for interiors and the pack is pretty much done.

 

that looks amazing, when will it be released and what wil price be? i own all your other packages exept toon people, so im really exited about this cause now i can build city with harbour, airport, trains dessert, nature and suburban areas, thx and again looks amazing,

 

Thanks, this is my favorite pack so far in terms of looks.
I will probably finish it this week, probably submit it during the weekend.
Could you please review Toon Harbor if you haven't already?
It currently sits at 2 reviews and it would help a lot. Thanks!

The price will probably be 52 USD, but I will try out the new feature with a promotional price for the first weeks after launch.

 

sure, i only looked thru it cause been busy with another project, but im gonna loook a litle more thru it on sunday and then give a review so i can give an honest 1, and thx for all thoes great assets you provided im happy about all the ones i bought.

 

Is the new package modular? if it is do you have windows that are not see thru incase you dont ant interior? do you now when its done and ready to release? realy nice pics you posted of the package.

 

Yes, the package is modular. For the transparent windows there is the option to change the material from transparent to opaque if needed.
It should be ready for release in a couple of days.
Thanks!

 

I loved the variety of the "Toon City People" asset! The character suit more for Urban/Rich setting. But I was looking for something like average dressed, low economy (poor.. for lack of words) people pack. This is for a game that has country affected by war.

 

Thanks!

There definitely will be more character packs coming (maybe very similar to what you have suggested), but at the moment the future planned packs in the series are most likely going to take until the end of the year at least, so we're looking at a pretty far launch date.

 

Toon Suburban Pack is in review at the moment, but here's the youtube trailer for those interested.

 

Looks pretty cool, I will find a lot of uses for this pack. The ladder left on the roof is totally my neighbor, except they left some other tools too.

Are you trying that "New Release Discount" feature?

 

Yes, for the first 2 weeks, it will be 50% off.

 

Curious what pack and/or update is next up after the Suburban pack?
