Unity 5.4: Global fog now flips transparent objects when using single pass.

Global fog now flips the location of transparent objects when using single pass rendering.

Notice the circled objects in the pic below.



Now with global fog on:
notice that particles and the gui object are flipped.


The setup has 3 cameras. One depth 0, one depth 1, one depth 2. The flipped particles, the flipped ui and the fog are all rendered on the depth 0 camera. The depth 1 and 2 cameras render the close up cockpit and overlayed gui respectivly. They are unaffected, Turning the top two cameras off the same problem exists, so it seams this happens with a single camera setup as well.

Turning off single wide rendering fixes the issue.


Any help would be appreciated, we use custom image effects based on the stock Global fog, sadly with stock global fog broken our custom effects are also broken.

Test global fog setup:

 

Happy to here it's being worked on. It'd be good to get this in the issue tracker so others can avoid spending time trying to figure out why there transparent objects are not rendering correctly.

 

Any ETA on this fix? Fog is an important visual effect for us and its hard for us to tighten up our our art style and polish our levels without it. Thanks for any help.

 

Great thanks!

 

Hi, GlobalFog inverses the screen upside down since we upgraded to 5.5.0p1 (DX9 & PS4). Previous shader version (from 5.4) with 5.5.0p1 inverses the screen too. Is this a known bug ?

EDIT: bug reported (859900)

 

Yea, I've got the same issue with 5.5.0f3. As soon as I apply the Global Fog to my Main Camera, the game flipped.

 

Same issue here

 

Make sure you reimport the effects. I noticed when you update unity the standard effects are not updated by default and you need to re-import them.

 

I'm also encountering this issue in 5.5.0f3 on a new project with image effects assets imported after installing this version of Unity.

 

Received an answer from Unity QA. This is a duplicate of this bug that is fixed in 5.6 https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/graphics-dot-blit-flips-the-image
There is a workaround: use 5.4 GlobalFog.cs, it worked for us.
Replace it in Assets\Standard Assets\Effects\ImageEffects\Scripts, linking the 5.4 version in this post.

 

Heya,
We just moved from Oculus to Open VR integration. While the image effect is still not flipping as expected there is a different problem in Open VR with global fog and most other image effects. They swim. This only happens if using OpenVR
https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/image-effects-broke-in-open-vr-unity-5-5-0p3.451719/

Wanted to give you a heads up, this is a critical issue for us. Thanks!

 

I'm also having this issue? Any update?

 

I received a response from Unity QA that follows:

"Image effects in the Standard effect package are about to be deprecated and removed from Unity. Whilst a global fog effect currently isnt in the new Post Processing stack (its currently being worked on) we still are not actively fixing this version.

With regards to VR testing; we test the new Post Processing stack fairly vigorously on both Vive and Occulus. The testing situation for legacy effects is not great though. It is simply too much work to support 3 sets of image effects across all platforms and VR/AR.

Thanks for submitting your report."

So it looks like we wont be getting support on this for awhile.

 

Has anyone found a solution for this? I'm still getting camera flipping with fog shaders using 5.6 in forward rendering - even though it was apparently fixed?

Sorry for posting in an old thread, I just can't find anything else on this issue.

 

See above post. QA has stated that they don't have time to test all version of image effects and are not supporting it. A new global fog is coming in 5.6 at some point.
