    Wow, now Unity seems to be a kind of religion :). I'm going to download the new RC3 to see what has changed for good.

    Checked the release notes
    Still depressed by substandard physic engine features

    There will be no Physics features beyond what is available in 4 until well after 5.0 has officially launched. You do get much better speed and stability though.

    This was outlined several times by Unity staff on these forums. The reason being they want stability and the existing feature set first. Additional physics will come after 5.0 at some point.

    I noticed that support for new substance designer 5 features is pending. Makes sense, given that SD5 isn't out yet, but is the plan to include this in 5.0.X or is this for 5.1 or later?

    Thanks for the new version, Unity Team!

    I wonder if Tone mapping is supposed to be running in the Scene view by design...?

    No idea, but wish it wouldn't since that's what game view is for.

    This sucks, about half my projects that were working fine in RC1 and RC2 will not open in RC3. It is crashing on the startup phase after selecting that project. I have tried clearing the library but that doesn't seem to help. It seems specifically related to images like PSD or DDS. I have had it also crash on a PNG but have not been able to reproduce that one again. It happens after importing scrips and doing a compile on them, then it is right after that with an image file causing the crash.


    Any suggestions?

    I actually think that it should. It's much easier to navigate the scene using scene view, than drag your camera when you need to check how a specific spot on the map looks with tonemapping.

    In deferred rendering path, wireframe scene view and most of the others are not working!!! I submited bug. I am sorry guys, but while you are solving some parts, you break other parts:)

    While Albedo, Specular, Smoothness and Normal views were fixed in RC3, Wireframe and Shaded Wirframe still don't work. Maybe others too, as I'm not sure how are they supposed to look.

    That's why I have a small utility that updates the game view to match the editor camera while it isn't running. About 5 lines of code would do it and OnDrawGizmos.

    This goes away if you disable HDR on the camera :). I use wireframe overlay often and turning off Hdr will get rid of thid effect.

    Yeah, but why invent utilities, when you can have it by default? What's the disadvantage of having it on by default?

    I sometimes think that what kind of bug it can be? Disabling hdr solves problem. @KEngelstoft canyou please share

    Because Game view requires an actual camera, and a lot of projects often have many cameras. It's possible some people have 10. Which one? How can you assume these things? hence, a simple component solves the problem.

    Everyone has different requirements and this is easily solvable.

    I vote for Scene View not showing camera effects. And, I can confirm that wireframe and shaded wireframe don't work in Deferred. Haven't tried forward. I don't mind bugs, and I'm sure the Unity team wants to exceed the stability of Unity 4.. Lets hope for RC 10 or more before release.

    I think it'll probably go out at RC4 personally. But you know thats what 5.xx is for after RC. Stuff doesn't suddenly end :p

    I vote for it to be included and use mainCamera by default. It can be toggleable, and hidden under the same menu as the skybox, fog, animated materials. I'm ok with it initially being switched off, but I do want to have it available, without the need for mumbo-jumbo scripts and components.

    Well, I finally figured my issue out. I had used the download assistant to install this version. I uninstalled it, reused the download assistant and it was still exhibiting the error. I downloaded the full install and used it and now I can open all of my projects again. The permissions must not be getting set correctly using the download installer for some reason.

    The intent is that feature development should be in the minor versions (where minor is 5.x). The patches and rollups should only be fixes.

    And once again, the bug that plagued the textured wireframe when HDR is enabled, has struck again... only this time, with viewing the Global Illumination modes. The only fix is to disable the scene lighting/HDR to resume normal functionality :(

    I'm trying to bake a terrain right now:) I'm using non-directional lightmap in my test so that it generates just one lightmap and ill start from there.

    Im as frustrated as anyone not being able to lightmap. But I have to admit the realtime illumination in RC3 looks really, REALLY atmospheric on terrain. Soft shadows aren't working but the hard shadows look great so far. And ive just figured out Physically Based shading and its a great way to bring more realism to all my textures. I can see where Unity is going with these additions, and once the major bugs are squashed I think it's going to offer a lot more potential with what we can do.

    I also think Unity is one of those things we are hard on because we love it so much:) Thank you Devs.

    As we are getting really close to 5 release, maybe we should know when there will be working gi point/spot light shadowing?
    I mean, you know, you cant say GI is working, when it's shadowing isnt.

    I got baking on objects to work in a semi-reasonable amount of time using non directional lightmaps (20min U4 vs 45min U5). The lightmapping has definitely improved over the last few releases. Also the lightmap atlas is way smaller than what was produced in U4 (great) , but im not sure if this is because i lowered the points per texel (which is a cool setting to have).

    I'm going to try it again for the terrain and see if I can figure that out. I think it's all about getting a grip on the settings.

    I'd also like to see the new shader code, so I can figure out how the light sources are accessed, so we can convert old shader tech into version 5. Plus finding things like accessing the Zed buffer etc.

    Well I had my first ever bake complete!! And it happened during the night, and not over 75 decades :) Mind you I put it on the lowest res for everything. But it certainly appears to be a few thousand times faster for me so far. I'm now upping the resolutions and seeing if I can compute the scene again before playing with it more.

    One question I have is: is real time GI the same as baked GI (apart from speed) ? I mean can I make everything look nice in realtime GI, then go away for the day and turn on baked GI and hit bake, and will the end result look more of less the same ? I presume I must set all my lights to "mixed" for this.

    Aras, does deferred support finalcolor function in the shader, it seems to ignore it no matter what I do.

    It doesn't because there's no logical place where to put it. It would need to happen after al lighting is computed, but the shader does not run after the lighting is computed!
