Testing final gather right now! YAY!

 

Is final gather changing anything for realtime GI or is it important only for baked GI ?

 

Does it work on terrain now without stalling?

 

Hm... is Final Gather actually working for anybody else? I'm getting some weird "Unknown Error".

http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/baked-lighting-error-when-using-final-gather.293583/

 

Doesn't for me

 

Anyone else getting errors in Monodevelop on this version? It's almost unusable, I'm getting this now:

System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path "/Applications/Unity/MonoDevelop.app/Contents/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/2.10.11/lib/mono/2.0/mscorlib.dll".

at System.IO.FileStream..ctor (System.String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, Boolean anonymous, FileOptions options) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

Looking in the folder, it seems like the path is incorrect, should be 2.10.12

I'll post a bug, but if anyone has a workaround that would be nice.

edit:

posted the bug, but I worked around it by duplicating the 2.10.12 folder and naming the copy 2.10.11

 

trying to build project under WebGL - have an error:

It's problem of IEnumerable - ? Cann't use it?

 

It's working! the clothes now works on build! Great Job Unity team!

 

On Mac OS X my Beta 21 installation doesn't have this issue. In /Applications/Unity the Mono version is installed as 2.10.12. Perhaps your installation had an issue with failing to copy files? I'd consider manually cleaning out /Applications/Unity/ and re-installing Beta 21.

 

It does for me . So happy. Thanks, Unity.

 

Kinda disappointed that mixed mode doesn't work... I have character models and they are not casting shadows like they are supposed to, and what is this? I was hoping to see the level albedo, and so forth... is this new? Just when I was getting used to the viewport showing it.



Will mixed mode work in the final version of Unity? It will feel awkward if I have baked shadows but none for the characers, unless I cleverly layer everything and have two lights in the same spot. One set to baked and the other to realtime.

Also, when I set my models to bake shadows, and the lights are set to hard shadows, my shadows are very soft... I might be running out space in the lightmap or not enough detail to work with. I can't get the baked shadows I need . Also I am getting an error that reads: Lightmapped Renderer has no UV Mesh

 

I'm pretty sure that would be a bug, just report it. There would be no point in including a feature which doesn't do anything after all.

 

Mixed Mode lights are a work in progress.

Objects with transparency (SpeedTree) still don't work correctly in b21. It was broken, then it was fixed, now it is broken again (reported with b20, Case 666222).

 

Anyone else getting horrendous frame rates on Oculus DK2 (lib 4.4)? Was working fine for me in beta 20 but can't get it much above 20 fps now - even in a new project with only a plane and a directional light?!

 

Ok, it doesn't stall, but the black bands are still visible. Case 658123.

 

Here is another nasty little artifact when reflection probes are rendered with final gather...

And I am also getting these errors...

Failed executing external process for 'Bake Indirect' job. Exit code: '-1073741819'.

'Bake Indirect' job failed with error code: 4294967295 ('Unknown error.').

 

I'm trying to modify the source for the Standard Shader. Downloaded the Built-in shaders for b21 but I get these errors in StandardShaderGUI.cs with no changes yet made.

Assets/Test/builtin_shaders-5.0.0b21/Editor/StandardShaderGUI.cs(205,39): error CS0122: `UnityEditor.ShaderUtil.GetMaterialProperties(UnityEngine.Object[])' is inaccessible due to its protection level

(Filename: Assets/Test/builtin_shaders-5.0.0b21/Editor/StandardShaderGUI.cs Line: 205)​

Can anyone tell me what's going on, please?

 

Weirdly enough changing this line:

DetermineWorkflow( ShaderUtil.GetMaterialProperties(new Material[] { material }) );​

to this:

DetermineWorkflow( MaterialEditor.GetMaterialProperties(new Material[] { material }) );​

removed the errors :/

 

one wierd problem since I upgrade from B18

If Unity have not focus editor (not game) doesn't continue to run. Two exemples :

1. If I play and I have not the focus, my game runs ( good because I check Run in background option ) but profiler stop. All work fine when Unity recover focus.
2. When I do compile and run. Compile start because Unity has focus but if I go to my browser during compilation, compilation ends but not lunch player until Unity recover focus.

 

I dont know if anyone is aware of this... but we have working DYNAMIC REAL TIME spot and point lights with GI !!!.
I mean, light still penetrates through geometry(no shadowing), but I tested it yesterday and effect is just jaw-dropping( now you can light whole room with light as small as mobile phone screen or candles, just like in RL ). Seriously Unity, I can see now this real-time GI is really piece of advanced technology, congratulations on it, cant wait to see final effect

 

I was sure that they are working already since previous betas but just without shadows. Am I wrong?

 

Reflection probes give me some trouble with this build. I have six of them and all baked nicely but after build to executable only one probe is baked and all other probes have this message "Reflection probe not baked yet".
If you search for the baked probes in the project window its all there and perfectly baked.

 

I've had this happen a bunch (in previous builds as well). The only workaround I've found is to do "clear baked data" from the lighting UI and re-bake from scratch.

 

Screenshots / video?

 

I am having issues with baking lights with final gather rays above 16 or 32. Only have AO turned to 0.5 and directional specular turned on, but otherwise no other settings changed. I only have about 8 area lights, handful of light probes, and one reflection cube. When I try to bake with final gather on at default setting of 1024 rays, the bake hangs. And like I said, I have to cut the ray count down to 16 or 32 rays in order for it to finish the bake. No errors, doesn't crash, just does not progress after a certain point. I have tried clearing the cache and deleting the light map data, but I can't get it to give me any other results. I am running on a new fully loaded Macbook Pro. With final gather turned off the bake finishes fine.

 

I am also noticing a severe lack of colour bleed when using Final gather... and am I also getting issues with FG artifacts:

Some pretty cool memory management of Enlighten:



I would love to file a bug report, but my project is several Gb and the bug reporter always fails with an Unknown Error. Too bad.

Edit:
Upload worked! Case 667540.

 

Is it just me or is the asset store window broken for anyone else in this beta?

The window just displays white, it does not load the asset store.

I reverted to the v20 beta and it's working again.

 

Works ok for me on v21, windows and mac.

 

small bug with unityads,

Assets/Standard Assets/UnityAds/Scripts/Advertisements/DeviceInfo/DeviceInfoIos.cs(14,21): error CS0117: `UnityEngine.iPhone' does not contain a definition for `advertisingIdentifier'

Code (CSharp):

1. public override string getAdvertisingIdentifier() {
2.       return iPhone.advertisingIdentifier;
3.     }

 

never mind i found this :
https://github.com/Applifier/unity-ads/issues/14

 

The asset store is wonky on the mac for every version. Constantly turning white, not painting correctly, etc. Happens in every version - you just have to scroll around and hope it paints. I thought it was just me, until I had some visitors from Australia and saw it happening to them also.

 

Interesting. Thanks for that info.

I'm using Windows 8.1 x64.

I'll try again when I have some time.

 

Cool!

 

That's true with 4.6.2 too on Mac and to a lesser degree on Windows though Windows acts like the entire asset store page won't refresh while Mac just acts like individual line items on the page won't refresh.

 

I'm having the same issues with the Asset Store turning white on my Mac. It is extremely frustrating...

 

I highly suggest you guys to add the offline installer it the download page, It's not easy to find the offline installer, by luck I found this post.

I'm facing issues with online installer, at the verification stage, I receive an error that it's not verified. Installing on different partition, as well on Mac-book.

 

When I build the lighting stuff my pc literally turns off. This happens almost everytime when I try with precomputed and baked at standard settings. Ive tried with very very low resolutions it doesnt turn off then but it gets stuck on 7/11 light transport every time (left it for days). Im now about to try only precomputed GI. I have 16 gigs and my pc doesnt feel hot and has a beefy PSU, so something mad is going on Wont get to try Unity5 for another week or so but from what I did try it was really quite amazing apart from the lighting issues, Id like some meaningful errors etc. But im sure you guys are working hard on it.

 

Could you please catch up with the Unity 4.6 UI?

 

New beta this week?

 

I think its ready just needs Unity posting.

 

5b21 windows 8.1

After reinstalling it after a complete Unity wipe, asset store now finally does not explode (reveal all hidden windows for all running applications is my best guess) upon loading Unity asset bundles, but the calibration scene throws this:

Unknown package ID 25422
UnityEditor.AssetStoreContext:OpenPackage(String)

tried downloading and restarting Unity in all kinds of combinations.
perhaps Unity Asset package should be replaced with regular zip extraction (optionally add some hooks like config options in a human readable setup.xml).


Manually dragging the asset into unity for decompressing again makes windows explode with all kinds of windows.

 

I know what you mean, but will Beta 22 contain all 4.6.2 is the main question or they missed the deadline and the changes will be added in Beta 23.

 

It's not in b22, I was talking about b23.

 

i guessing b22 still closed beta isn't?

 

I think its been ready for a few days, dunno why the delay

 

Ah i see. thanks for the the info.
I'll wait
