💥┃post-processing

[proud cove]

(sorry for the music, i forgot to mute spotify)

[mighty stump]

I'd try disabling the camera stack entirely and try to get simply a single camera with post processing working

I have no trouble getting PP on any camera working in 2022 LTS

[proud cove]

if i disable the UI Camera it works, i have no idea what's happening

[mighty stump]

I'm not using the 2D renderer though, so it may be related to that

[proud cove]

even if i remove the camera as a overlay, set both cameras to base and change the UI's camera skybox to uninitialized the same issue happens, its so weird

[mighty stump]

In any case I don't think there is supposed to be a technical limitation that dictates you only get PP on one camera of the stack, so it may be a bug specific to your project, or to this editor version (or to 2D renderer possibly)

[proud cove]

seems to be a bug with the 2D renderer or the post processing shader, i'll try reporting it as a bug, thanks anyway for the help !!

[mighty stump]

it's important work!

[forest pike]

Hello :),
I'm looking to put a custom texture in post process on my camera (kind of noise / ink).
But, I would like my texture not to be fixed, to change the UV of my texture according to the direction/Orientation of my Camera. As if I wanted to map my texture onto an invisible circle around my camera.

I imagine that I have to use both info from the camera and from my uv Screen, but I'm stuck on how to combine them.

[uneven fjord]

Hey I'm having issues using bloom in the post processing settings on a global volume. (im using URP) my bloom wasn't working on any object that had emission so i made a new project and put my vfx and shaders in and it worked but as soon as i went into game view once it then stopped working in the scene view and game view (im using the newest lts version 2022.3.5f1)

[upbeat briar]

Hi, I actually need bloom affect . So I enabled HDR and post processing bloom. HDR takes a lot performance (i assume because it "converts" whole screen and textures to HDR, idk for sure).
As I want bloom only one object -
Is there any possibility to Allow HDR to work only for one required object, or Layer? to reduce impact on performance? THX

[mighty stump]

Not really

You can do various fake glows using billboard sprites and other kinds of effects

[raven wolf]

guys someone PLEASE help me, i have been struggling with this for hours, so im trying to change vignette at runtime by getting a reference of it and changing the intensity value but sometimes the reference is null and sometimes its not and if i put a debug.log on different parts of the script the reference is always null, just check the video and youll see. it doesnt make any sense to me

[mortal bluff]

Seems you need to use cubemap texture in your case.

[proud cove]

can i see the code?

something somewhere else is probably changing the vignette every frame or something like that

[raven wolf]

I already fixed it, i had two instances of the script and had to delete one

[quaint vector]

Any advice on how to get a more "professional"/"polished"/AAA look to my game? Or do I need to go beyond post-processing to get that? This is the best I've achieved so far

[mighty stump]

A lot of visual problems there from a realism standpoint
Ambient light and reflections don't match the environment
There are no shadows
Foliage's ambient light is purely black
Material normal maps are way too harsh
It's sunset/sunrise but the sky and lighting don't convey that
There doesn't look to be any post processing

[quaint vector]

I've added some bloom, ambient occlusion and distance fog, I need to dial the effects down a bit, but is this a move in the right direction?

[mighty stump]

It's much improved!
The ambient lighting and reflections bother me a lot
You can so clearly see the default unity sky reflected on the chrome parts

[haughty nest]

It also looks like it needs some antialiasing, but its a big improvement

[stray socket]

I'd say the problem lies in the assets itself (textures and materials to be exact).
I see that you are trying to copy the twister movie, so I bring an image for reference
https://64.media.tumblr.com/e841b4a42315ee5a2c6e968c22368a7f/tumblr_nbx67cxsNf1tijsulo1_500.jpg
As you see, the car it self is unrealistically clean, also it seems to be unnecessarily high poly (but it's not much to be an issue).
Also, if you want a diegetic UI, then you should use the original needle speedometer instead of the 'digital' speedometer.

[marsh frigate]

the best and most simple change to make would be baking a reflection probe

[quaint vector]

@stray socket Thank you very much for your detailed response, I will look at editing the body material to make it more matte, and possibly add a custom shader to add randomised dirt/dust

@marsh frigate I've added a reflection probe and it looks a lot better, however I'm getting some weird (aliasing?) artefacts on the chrome:

[stoic jetty]

hey iv just discovered there are 2 completely different way of adding post processing, im used to this kind of setup with the following options

[tranquil pewter]

anyone can help me in #🖼️┃2d-tools ?

[stoic jetty]

but now ive discovered you can make a voilume game object and add even more affects

so whats the different between the 2?

[mighty stump]

Post Processing package is for built-in render pipeline
Volume overrides are for URP and HDRP
They're not cross-compatible in any way

[stoic jetty]

thank you :)

[rocky violet]

how do I make Camera.render work with the post processing effect; motion blur? I'm trying to make a second camera render at 60 fps instead of the default, but the motion vectors (I assume) are not updating when Camera.render is called

[chrome swallow]

im currently using 3 cameras to get a very specific post-proccessing look result, but its tanking my performance and I can't seem to figure out how to replicate the exact appearance the 3 cameras are creating without using 3 cameras

• camera 1 renders some scene assets to a texture
• 2 renders some scene assets that aren't in the render texture
• camera 3 overlays 2 onto itself and renders post proccessing one only some specific assets
  the render texture is applied to a plane in the scene itself that some but not all cameras see

the profiler shows these cameras are generating a ton of garbage and massive slow down

but I havent been able to figure out how to compress the renderpasses theyre doing into one or two cameras

each one has a very specific purpose that maybe something else could replicate its behavior?

10k of garbage collection :X

[merry arrow]

Try getting rid of the Texture renderer first and see what you get. Textures are killers and, I've never worked with rendering realtime textures, there must be a way to change the texture results. resolution and such.

[chrome swallow]

the render texture's purpose is that it stores 'temporal' data, seeing this can you think of any way to achieve this look without the use of a render texture?

[merry arrow]

I'm not really sure what's going on there but just try and pinpoint what camera is killing you.

[chrome swallow]

render texture is rendering the scene objects to a texture, the texture is displayed on a plane, the plane can be seen by the camera rendering to the render texture and its shader multiplies itself lower, its essentially the same kind of effect as snow deformation shaders

I couldnt find any other way to replicate this effect without the render texture

https://youtu.be/ftCyZ7F5q9E

this type deal

[chrome swallow]

Looking into it further, is there any way to only bloom post-proccess specific assets in a scene, without the use of a second camera and stacking them? The two camera stack is causing a performance hit, and the second cameras only purpose is to keep some assets isolated from the bloom post-proccess

when in this stack are render textures created?

Is there any way I can move the render texture creation to occur after post proccessing?

elements that I want excluded from post proccessing still need to be in the render texture

but they arent since its occuring somehere before

[severe slate]

Hello , so i have my main camera which uses post processing and i have a second camera which dosent, i want only the pixelated squid to be affected by the no post processing camera but everything is affected by it , why is that ?

i'm trying to exclude the squid from post processing but everything gets excluded when i try

[severe slate]

I really could use some help i still didn't figure it out

[mighty stump]

Looks correct
Which editor version is it?

URP 2D post processing is broken with camera stacking in 2022.3. LTS, maybe in some other versions too

[severe slate]

2022.3.5f1

oh

[severe slate]

what this was supposed to be is a black and white scene but the squid is colored

[mighty stump]

In that one the sprite editor is broken also

[severe slate]

oh, so in this version i will be unnable to do what i am trying to , right ?

or are there any methods that I could try to achieve the same effect ?

[mighty stump]

One option is to make your own sprite shader with Shader Graph that uses a global property to desaturate the base color

[severe slate]

but i want the pixel sprite to be saturated

i want the rest to be 0 saturation

[mighty stump]

You'd give those sprites your desaturating shader sprite material

[severe slate]

so you are saying to add to every object in the scene(which is about 700) a shader that desaturates them ?

[mighty stump]

Well not every object, just the ones you want desaturated obviously

[severe slate]

which is everything

except like 15 objects

[mighty stump]

Mm sure

[severe slate]

i am achieving the desaturation using a global volume is there a way to exclude a layer or something ?

that is not the camera stacking which you said it's broken

[mighty stump]

You can type SpriteRenderer in this filter box (assuming it's set to filter by type as well as name) to list every gameobject with Sprite Renderer in the scene, then by clicking and then shift+clicking select them all by selecting a range, then ctrl+click to exclude your particular gameobjects

Then you can drag any material to the Sprite Renderer's material slot to change them all at once

[mighty stump]

No, not how it works
Post processing always applies per whole rendered image
To exclude something requires rendering it as another image, so with another camera

You could (with backups) upgrade your project to 2023.1., see if the stacking method works then

[severe slate]

actually about backups , how do you guys do it , do you just copy and paste the folder once ?

[mighty stump]

The industry standard way is to use version control software such as Git

Which beats copypasting by light years

[severe slate]

and how do i do that , is it an app which i download? or...

[mighty stump]

Unity also offers its own version control thing which I think internally uses PlasticSCM
But it has some kind of cost per seat so I'm going with Git as are most others

[mighty stump]

Git is the program for creating backups, which works together with a service to host the backups like GitHub

[severe slate]

so just to check one final time you don't think i've got something wrong going on here in the setting right ? (the game should look black and white , but the pixelsquid pink)

[mighty stump]

Well there could be something wrong somewhere, and you should be getting some post processing to work with no overlay cameras in the stack
But I did confirm myself before that post processing with camera stacking in 2D URP specifically is broken

[severe slate]

so the post processing by itself does work , without a second camera

it's just that i want the squid to not be affected by it

[mighty stump]

Quite

2022.3.2f1 didn't have the sprite editor issues, maybe it doesn't have this issue either? That I didn't check

[severe slate]

you keep menitioning the sprite editor, what is that about ? because i just make my sprites in aseprite and then import them

[mighty stump]

Just one of many things 2022.3. has broken, as a warning that you may encounter more issues if you stick to that one

I'd much rather recommend 2021.3., or even 2023.1. despite it being a tech stream release

[severe slate]

ok , thx for the suggestion , ill take it into consideration , i just picked this one because it was the latest at the moment and in long term support they said

[severe slate]

but quick question , does 2021.3 have webgl support ?

[mighty stump]

Yes

[severe slate]

great , i was asking because at the moment I need to make WebGl builds

[mighty stump]

Just to be sure never swap editor versions (besides bug fix updates) without a backup of some kind

[severe slate]

ok

[queen siren]

Hi! I'm not a programmer but trying to help out my friend with his game. I'm trying to add ambient occlusion but I get this error (URP, Unity 2022.3.3f1 version)

does any1 know how to fix this?

[queen siren]

Reinstalling URP does nothing

[bleak hazel]

I have made a full screen shader using shader graph and have hooked it up into the URP renderer using the built-in "Full Screen Pass Renderer Feature".

Note: I have set it to use the "Pass Material" and have set "Injection Point" to "Before Rendering Transparents" with "Depth, Normal, Color" and "DrawProcedural (0)".

The effect is working as expected in the "Game" view. However, the scene view now appears black (see screenshot). Any ideas what might be causing this?

[vale wind]

Why do the local volumes only work on the default layer? If I set them to Ignore Raycast, they stop working! The player doesn't trigger their colliders any more.

[bleak hazel]

Okay so after some playing I've found the cause is this. If I use _CameraColorTexture I get the color buffer in its full resolution and it works in game mode. But in scene view it is simply black. If I use "Scene Color" instead it works in both game view and scene view, however it is super blurry in both

Why is _CameraColorTexture coming out as black in scene view?

Or alternatively, why is "Scene Color" so blurry?

[mighty stump]

Scene color texture is usually by default at a smaller resolution to make it cheaper
If you're using URP you can change it in the Renderer asset iirc

[bleak hazel]

Is it cheaper to use the smaller resolution scene color texture if the full size one is going to be used anyway? eg. the camera color one appears to be present in game mode... so is it wasting resources for unity to have a smaller one as well as a full size one?

[stark dock]

Hey,
I am working on a racing game and I am trying to get the colors close to real life.
Why does my color grading look so off and how can I colormatch it close to reality?
Project is in 2022LTS HDRP

Thanks in advance!

Update: I found the solution!

[mighty stump]

It sounds like they should be the same thing
I haven't heard of multiple camera color textures

[bleak hazel]

I'm not sure exactly where _CameraColorTexture comes from; it seems to be defined by URP

[mighty stump]

Maybe it's something specific to post-processing

Multiple effects can work on top of each other even if the scene color texture is not available to shaders, anyway
Though I don't know how it works exactly

[gritty folio]

Afaik _CameraColorTexture is the camera target. The SceneColor uses _CameraOpaqueTexture, which is a copy, as you can't / aren't meant to read and write to the same target.
Though I think since 2022 URP switches between two camera targets when rendering post processing. I don't know if that applies to features/blits too, I've always used my own temporary/custom RTs.

[bleak hazel]

Interesting thank you! okay so I've enabled the opaque texture and changed my shader to use that and under quality set the down-sampling to "None" since that doesn't work on any quality setting for my effect.

This seems to look good in play mode and also looks as it should in the scene view

[covert marlin]

Hello there !
I'm trying to set up post process but it's not working.
I'm working on 2022 HDRP.
I created a Layer postProcess, I created a postprocess layer on my camera.
I created a volume with a post process volume "Is global" checked. Assigned my post process layer.
Then just adding a color grading overide to see the changes but nothing does.

Any idea what I did wrong ??

Also, When I'm just trying to modify my anti aliasing in the post process layer on the camera, nothing changes neither

[mighty stump]

Sounds like you're using the wrong post processing for HDRP
Check the pinned messages for render pipeline -specific instructions

[covert marlin]

You seem to be right. So I was looking for a post process material in order to blur borders on my screen (kinda like a vignette without the black render) used with a shader graph. Do you have anything in mind that could fit to this ?

[mighty stump]

Can't say I'm familiar enough with HDRP custom post processing to give any directions

[covert marlin]

Ok thanks anyways ! It's still up if someone has any directions for this !
update > All good, I found a good way by resampling pixels :)

[queen siren]

I'm trying to add ambient occlusion but I end up with this ugly mess. I know I can reduce the intensity but I'm wondering why is this such a noisy mess? (using URP)

[gusty harbor]

I'd try this in a simpler scene, I think the default URP 3D scene has AO setup by default. You've got a love of custom stuff going on there it's hard to narrow down what it might be.

[mighty stump]

You'll probably want to decrease Radius and exclude very thin geometry from it
Though I don't recall how to exclude from SSAO exactly

[gusty harbor]

^ To add to this, I'm assuming you might want the AO because of all the little foliage on the ground to give it some depth. Faking cleverly or baking might be better for you here.

[haughty nest]

Try giving the blue noise SSAO method a shot too

[turbid root]

are there any hdrp packages that add more post processing effects?

[haughty nest]

None that I know of, but I would look at the HDRP Fullscreen shader samples, which are effectively just custom post processing effects

If I remember correctly there's stuff like raindrops and basic night vision

It's a great starting point for figuring out how to write your own

[frosty musk]

Hello guys. I'm trying to add bloom effects to my game but it simply is not working

Steps that have been made:
Made sure HDR is enabled on my URP asset
Added global volume with bloom overwrite
Created new materials with emission
Enabled post processing on camera

please help

I have also done the same on a new 3d URP sample scene project and it doenst work eighter.

[mighty stump]

Can you show the global volume in question?

[frosty musk]

Somehow it is working on the game view new, but not on scene view. If nothing else at least the important part is on

[mighty stump]

check if scene view has post processing enabled

And if you have multiple cameras

[cursive wave]

quick built-in render pipeline question:
I can postprocess quite easily through a camera's "OnRenderImage" in play mode, but I can't get it to also display in the scene view / editor
([ExecuteInEditMode] does call Update etc. but not OnRenderImage)
is there an easy way to do this?

as in, have the camera preview in the scene display what's actually in the game window

the fact that they're different is annoying

[wanton flint]

ive been adding and testing by eye and reading about various PP effects by myself but i was wondering if theres a ready template of effects that just makes things look good available
nvm i found some on asset store

[buoyant galleon]

Hey all, experimenting with URP "Fullscreen Pass Renderer Feature" - is it a known bug that no matter what pass of my shader I actually select, it defaults to only ever using the first pass?

EG: Setup

And in the frame debugger, clear that it's just running two of the first passes no matter what I select :/

[gritty folio]

Looking at the FullScreenPassRendererFeature code it doesn't actually use the pass index variable in the Execute method 😢
I haven't seen this mentioned before so might want to do a bug report

[buoyant galleon]

Ah, thanks for looking at the code for me. I wish I could say I am surprised that is the case 😄 Will just work around it

[tardy steeple]

is it possible to make it so a light source isnt affected by post processing or make it have different values?

[cyan wraith]

Hello, I wanted to know why the Post Processing Layer takes up so much performance without even having any active effect. Is there any way to optimize it?, my game is for mobile system

as well for low gamma computers

[tepid rover]

It shouldn't take any performance if it doesn't do anything, at least that's the case in my current game, which is mainly targeted towards low-end mobile devices

Are you sure you didn't overlook something?
If you disable the Component, do your FPS go up?

Also, Editor Performance is not the same as in a Build, did you try it on an actual device?

[cyan wraith]

Yes, when i disable component FPS go up

[cyan wraith]

I swear I just turn on post processing and that's it, though... When it's on it will generate these 4 weird commands on the camera, do you know what they mean? "command buffer"

Only when i sable post processing layer, not post processing volume

[tepid rover]

The Command Buffers are (what I think to be) the points where PostProcessing can do it's work, but I didn't look it up.

Is the FPS loss apparent in Builds too, or just in Editor?

It's kinda weird that you loose FPS when PostProcessing has nothing going on

[cyan wraith]

The FPS loss apaprent in builds too, and too in Editor mode

its weird

[tepid rover]

Seemingly, from the Stats Window, the Render Thread does take the same time on both if your images, just the CPU time has increased by some ms

But idk how accurate or useful that information is

Have you tried to use the Profiler?

Also, ANY scripts running? If yes, deactivate all of them, check if one of them is the actual cause of the FPS loss, because it really shouldn't be a PostProcessing issue in my eyes, it doesn't make sense

(Also, you're definitely using BuiltIn RP, not URP or HDRP, correct? Those have their own PostProcessing Feature)

For Mobile, do you set Application.targetFramerate?

[cyan wraith]

no bro

wait let me see

[cyan wraith]

if i create a new proyect, and then put post process layer without any other complements?

may it work

[tepid rover]

You'd have to try if the problem disappears in a clean project, but if it does then it was probably an issue by the user, not by unity.

When you said the PostProcessing Layer doesn't do anything, not having any effects, is the PostProcessing Profile empty?

[cyan wraith]

yes

im trying in

[cyan wraith]

i create a new proyect, and its the same

layer is not set yet wtf

why?

@tall saffron here's the problem

whe i use Post Process, FPS goes down

and it is rare since it does not yet have an effect that modifies something

[tepid rover]

You tried to use the Profiler in the meantime, didn't you?

You could create another identical Camera without the PostProcessing, change between them, and see what changes in the Profiler and Stats

[grizzled otter]

Hey, I'm trying to make my post processing effects affect my canvas without changing the Render Mode to Screen Space - Camera, is there any simple way to do it?

[mighty stump]

None that I'd know of
Why not use screen space - camera?

[grizzled otter]

I'm just trying to not use multiple cameras, and my game is 2D, and using my default camera looks broken, the UI is behind the terrain

and without post processing, the UI looks disgusting

[mighty stump]

Screen space - camera does not require multiple cameras
Why not place the UI in front of the terrain? It has a setting for depth

[grizzled otter]

it disappears

[mighty stump]

Why would it?

[grizzled otter]

I don't know

[mighty stump]

Maybe that's the root of the problem here

[lethal drum]

hey guys this is a weird question but I have this nightvision thingy going pretty good, however what I want to do is calculate the bloom BEFORE the vignette, so the edges of the vignette dont block the brightness of the bloom

its not THAT terrible here but in other parts of the scene its quite bad

[swift bloom]

I'm confused about post processing in URP 14, how it calculates parameters like positionOS and positionHCS just using a material? I'm trying to make a Volumetric Cloud post processing. I'm also can't understand what Blitter class really does, why it takes 3 params to copy a texture. If you have any tutorial about these, please share to me!

[gusty harbor]

This seems like more of a shader thing

I've made volumetric clouds in URP 14

The blitter class IIRC takes a render handle to get info from (camera color usually) then a render handle to blit to (Usually a temp handle if you want to use the camera color again, you can't write to the same one twice)

Then it takes the shader pass to use, usually 0

[swift bloom]

Would you please share your project to me? Thank you in advance.

[gusty harbor]

No.

[swift bloom]

I still can't understand. Is there any more information that RTHandle contains? Ray marching requires the bound box, which is in world position. How can a texture shows world position?

[gusty harbor]

You can pass in whatever you want as material parameters

The RTHandle just contains the camera specific stuff

You also get access in hlsl to things like depth buffers, projection matrices, etc

If you're doing a screen shader, which you usually need to if you're want to go inside your clouds at any point, you'll need to do some weird maths to get view directions world space positions etc

If I was to do it again, I'd probably use shader graph

Not HLSL

Just write the complex stuff in a custom function node

https://www.cyanilux.com/tutorials/custom-renderer-features/#:~:text=Full Renderer Feature Example,-Here's a full&text=The feature can be used,in a blit%2Ffullscreen material.

This is a good starter

[swift bloom]

I had read this last night, and I still have no idea. May be I need to read it more times...

Anyway thanks for your help

[gusty harbor]

My advice, make a renderer feature that renders a material to the screen as your first step

It'll all get easier from there

as then you're past most URP specific stuff

The material can just be a Unlit URP material set to red or something

[astral silo]

Hello all, I have CustomPass defined in HDRP project (and it works properly). But it works only when i set it, play the game and it just renders what i need based on the layer that object is in. Can I change the layer at runtime - so the postprocessing will be on-off for givin object?

[pure fox]

Hey wait, did they update the motion blur to blend frames instead of using camera movement? The camera is completely stationary here but the cube is blurred a bit. Also, yes, the title screen layout is bad, I'll fix it.

[daring rune]

I'm confused. Do you mean https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/GameObject-layer.html ?

[mighty stump]

Object motion blur was added to URP starting in 2023.2.a8
Maybe that's what you're seeing

[pure fox]

I'm using the built in render pipeline.

[mighty stump]

That one always had object motion blur

[flat galleon]

Hello, I'm not sure this is the right channel to ask but how can I reduce the GPU usage for ComputeSkinningDispatch reported in the Profiler? It's taking all the processing power but I only have 10 characters in my scenes with basic stuff. Nothing too complex.

[mighty stump]

Mesh skinning sounds like skinned mesh renderers not post processing

[tight tartan]

how would i enable a urp volume component, then disable another in script
i tried turning off the component in the inspector, but it doesn't change anything

i have to turn off a type of post process to make it change, like turning off "bloom" itself

[flat galleon]

What does that mean?

[flat galleon]

I'm assuming you're referring to the channel to post this question? Where should I ask about meshes then? I'm not sure I see any other relevant channel for this topic?

[mighty stump]

Since it's not related to any channel topic it'd go into #💻┃unity-talk

[flat galleon]

Thanks!

[thin prairie]

How do i actually set this up to work ? I barley understood the blog but i git the scripts from his git hub page. i expected there to be a custom render feature wich isnt actually there so i could use some help
https://www.kuanmi.top/2022/06/27/LensFlare-SRP-in-VR

[mighty stump]

Are you on URP? It already has lens flares on its own

[thin prairie]

but it doesnt work correctly in vr

i just realised that i was still using unity 2021 im upgrading to 2022 to see if they fixed it

[mighty stump]

Use backups or version control when upgrading

[thin prairie]

i made that mistake once and everythjing went purple

[crimson ruin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuvx9tWGlHc&ab_channel=JimmyVegas
watchign this video, the guys created a post processing profile and its opened with all of these options that are immediently applying to the camera

mine is empty, with no overrides set, i need to manually add a vignette effect, and even though my camera has the effect on it, changing the values of the vignette dont seem to do anything. Any idea what changed

[marsh frigate]

What render pipeline are you using

[crimson ruin]

i'm not sure how to check that. Default, i guess

[marsh frigate]

Then follow the get started guide on the post processing docs for the one you need to use (pinned) https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.postprocessing@3.3/manual/Quick-start.html

I have no idea what the deal is with his ancient post processing version

[late fossil]

I want to ask... what is the reasoning behind this line?

Why does the ambient occlusion override the alpha of the texture?

[thin prairie]

how an i remove this feature ?

clicking the 3 dots does nothing

[buoyant abyss]

Anyone experience with creating screenshots for android? It destroys the renderTexture connection of my map gob?

[calm kraken]

Quick question, does Blitter.BlitCameraTexture not automatically set the _MainTex property of the blit shader?

Graphics.Blit is listed as doing that on the docs, but it seems like BlitCameraTexture uses drawmesh/drawprocedural, which I'm assuming doesn't automaticall fill _MainTex

just verifyin

[gritty folio]

It sets _BlitTexture instead. Usually shaders written for the Blitter API would include Blit.hlsl from the srp core as it'll define stuff like that for you. Also contains a bunch of vert/frag functions you can use or copy/edit.
https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/Graphics/blob/master/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.core/Runtime/Utilities/Blit.hlsl

[calm kraken]

ah, thanks! I use shader graph, so I don't think i can just include the file (rip) but its an amazing reference regardless

[gritty folio]

Ah okay. In URP there's a URP Sample Buffer node that gives you access to the blit source, so you don't need to define the texture yourself
Don't know for sure but I imagine HDRP has something similar too.

[calm kraken]

Oh nice, is it even listed in the documentation lol, I only see HD Sample Buffer node

[slender spindle]

Heya all. I'm looking for the quickest and simplest solution for adding an outline to a given GameObject. I've found plenty of tutorials, but they all seemed a little complicated for what I thought should be a problem that has been solved a thousand times over - and I'd prefer not reinventing the wheel here. Does anyone have a straightforward slap-on solution for object outlines?

[thin prairie]

how can i get rid of this ? nothing works

[thin prairie]

how can i make it so a camera is only effected by one post processing volume ?

[mighty stump]

If on URP set the Volume gameobject onto a layer, then set the camera component's Volume Mask

[pine cosmos]

Does anyone know if bloom is performance heavy for mobile? And URP in general?

[mighty stump]

Bloom requires a lot of overdraw, which is bad on mobile
But some modern versions of URP let you skip bloom iterations to make it cheaper

[pine cosmos]

For some reason my bloom component doesn't have the option for max iterations or downscale. Any idea why? I'm in 2D, is it only for 3D?

[mighty stump]

Which URP version?

[pine cosmos]

where can you see that? 🤔

newest one i think?

[mighty stump]

In the package manager, but it's tied to your editor version so you can give that instead

[pine cosmos]

editor is 2022.3.7f1

[mighty stump]

Hmm this one should have those settings

[pine cosmos]

i got it now

apparently you need to click "show additional options"

thanks

[mighty stump]

Ah that thing
Probably there just to trick us

[thick atlas]

how to avoid memleak on custom render feature? I use temporary render target on execute

[mighty stump]

I think I recall someone reporting this as a bug in one of the newer 2022.3. versions
Maybe that one already has a patch for it

[mortal drift]

editor memleak?

[thick atlas]

Here is my render feature file, I am not sure if this RF cause memleak, and how to know it

[hushed mortar]

Hey eveyrone. Is there anyway to use color grading or another LUT option to change the visual appearance of the whole image including screen space UIs? Right now color grading only affects 3D objects but ignores everything in screenspace

[haughty nest]

Technically yes if you want to see an HDR output, but since most displays are not HDR capable, almost every game uses a post processing effect called tonemapping, which takes hdr effects like bloom, and maps them to low dynamic range in a pretty way.

Hi, why my ReconstructPositionWS does not output correctly? I had struggled for hours and have no idea. It should looks like the right one. Those 3 lines in left image will rotate when my camera rotates and also move when my camera moves.

I'm so desperate, anyone please help me 😭

[patent orbit]

trying to match the look of my HDRP project using URP, seems whats missing is Custom Tone mapping in URP

[gray musk]

What can I use (post processing / lighting) to achieve this dark, rich look for my game

[silk oasis]

Well theres ambient occlusion to create small shadows, tonemap (which you can set to ACES) and also DoF in the background

[haughty nest]

Some kind of baked (or otherwise) global illumination is also important for that contrasty look

[rugged zephyr]

Hey I don’t see a lot of post in this screenshot. There’s fog at a distance but mostly what you are seeing is contrast between the lightest and darkest areas. To achieve this add a curve and pull down the dark and push up the light. How you do this may differ - which render pipeline are you using?

[marsh frigate]

There's perhaps also a little bit of depth of field, as there's a blurring on background objects

[thin prairie]

how can i get rid of this, i deletet the feature and cant get rid of this

[silk oasis]

Click on the three dots and click on remove

[thin prairie]

Nothing happens if i do that

[junior moss]

ok im having a slight issue when trying to use post processing ambient occlussion. Right now im trying to use it in my scene but im noticing that when i play the scene all of a sudden ghost objects of said thing start to appear. Is there any way to fix this without disabling the ambient occlussion post processing function?

example, i used these star wars weapons as a test

[marsh frigate]

Where's that other perspective coming from? Do you have another camera at that angle at all, or is it just this angle but deformed

[junior moss]

its just this one camera that is active

there arent any other cameras in the scene

and it only happens in playmode when im close to objects

[marsh frigate]

You can use the Frame Debugger and take a look at the buffers, maybe you will learn something by having a poke around. The other troubleshooting steps would just be toggling some render features on and off to see if anything is effecting that strangely. Apart from that, maybe someone else will know ):

[junior moss]

ok, thanks for the help anyways

[visual osprey]

            Blitter.BlitCameraTexture(cmd, m_CameraColorTarget, m_CameraColorTarget, RenderBufferLoadAction.DontCare, RenderBufferStoreAction.Store, m_Material, 0);
            Blitter.BlitCameraTexture(cmd, m_CameraColorTarget, m_CameraColorTarget, RenderBufferLoadAction.DontCare, RenderBufferStoreAction.Store, m_Material, 1);

I'm trying to use two blits in sequence, but I think I'm not doing something right regarding the camera texture

in my shader, my idea was to take the current m_CameraColorTarget and apply two gaussian blur passes to it

but I am not sure exactly what I'm doing wrong, as apparently when I try to pass the camera texture explicitly, I just get a black screen

this is how I'm passing the data:
m_Material.SetTexture("_BlurTex", m_CameraColorTarget);

[visual osprey]

😭 I don't know what I'm doing anymore at this point - I need a way to get my camera's current render texture and pass it to a shader though :c

[gritty folio]

You usually need to set up a temporary/custom target, as you aren't meant to read and write to the same target at the same time

e.g.

var colorDesc = renderingData.cameraData.cameraTargetDescriptor;
colorDesc.depthBufferBits = 0; // must set to 0 to specify a colour target
RenderingUtils.ReAllocateIfNeeded(ref customColorTarget, colorDesc, name: "_CustomTex");

...
Blitter.BlitCameraTexture(cmd, camColor, customColorTarget, mat, 0);
Blitter.BlitCameraTexture(cmd, customColorTarget, camColor, mat, 1);

In the shader, you'd use _BlitTexture to obtain the source.

[visual osprey]

Could you explain a bit more?
I get the need for "double buffering", but are you implying that I need to create a sampler2D _BlitTexture; or a TEXTURE2D_X(_BlitTexture);?

[gritty folio]

Either might work, but you'd usually use the latter, or include the helper file - https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/Graphics/blob/master/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.core/Runtime/Utilities/Blit.hlsl which defines it for you

(especially if you need to support xr/vr)

[visual osprey]

I see -not my case, but good to know

[visual osprey]

Uhhh
Shader error in 'GaussianBlurTwoPass': undeclared identifier '_BlitTexture_TexelSize' at line 61 (on d3d11)

but it's here?

[gritty folio]

The file in the repo might vary depending on unity version, it's the master branch so is probably alpha/unreleased versions. Looks like older ones don't have it, so you may need to define it manually

[visual osprey]

F i n a l l y

Cyan, you're a godsent

thank you so much ❤️

[visual osprey]

hey there, I have another question on this - for my gaussian blur, i wanted to use two blit operations because I was doing the vertical/horizontal split, but I have another effect which is a single pass - for that effect, it seems like the _BlitTexture is being passed as 100% black?

I have the three lines of code you suggested in my OnCameraSetup():

    public override void OnCameraSetup(CommandBuffer cmd, ref RenderingData renderingData)
    {
        var colorDesc = renderingData.cameraData.cameraTargetDescriptor;
        colorDesc.depthBufferBits = 0; // must set to 0 to specify a colour target
        RenderingUtils.ReAllocateIfNeeded(ref m_tempHandle, colorDesc, name: "_WhatDoesThisDo");

        ConfigureTarget(m_CameraColorTarget);
    }

But unlike in the other render pass, I can't seem to get this one to work correct in Execute()

    public override void Execute(ScriptableRenderContext context, ref RenderingData renderingData)
    {
        ...            
        Blitter.BlitCameraTexture(cmd, m_CameraColorTarget, m_CameraColorTarget, RenderBufferLoadAction.DontCare, RenderBufferStoreAction.Store, m_Material, 0);
        ...
    }

Am I missing something? Because if I dont use the _BlitTexture this runs without a problem, otherwise (because I'm multiplying it) I get a black screen

[gritty folio]

The way I'm familiar with is to still use two BlitCameraTextures like before (from camera target to custom and back again), but the second without a material & pass index (it'll use an internal blit one)

[visual osprey]

When you say without a material, do I pass null or is there a specific override of the method that I should use?

[gritty folio]

Method override, probably just without the last two params. Though I don't usually use the overrides with RenderBufferLoadAction & RenderBufferStoreAction either.

[visual osprey]

            Blitter.BlitCameraTexture(cmd, m_CameraColorTarget, m_tempHandle);
            Blitter.BlitCameraTexture(cmd, m_tempHandle, m_CameraColorTarget, m_Material, 0);

This still does nothing :c

My mental model of this is that I'm copy-pasting the current camera color target into a temporary texture, then reapplying it to the camera target - does that make sense?

(nothing happens when I put the material on the first blit either....)

[gritty folio]

Afaik this should work. What is the material doing though - perhaps it's shader isn't set up correctly? You need to use a specific vertex shader setup, like the ones in the Blit.hlsl I shared earlier

[visual osprey]

This is the HLSL:

Shader "BendayForced"
{
        SubShader
    {
        Tags { "RenderType"="Opaque" "RenderPipeline" = "UniversalPipeline"}
        LOD 100
        ZWrite Off Cull Off
        Pass
        {
            Name "ColorBlitPass"

            HLSLPROGRAM
            #include "Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal/ShaderLibrary/Core.hlsl"
            #include "Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.core/Runtime/Utilities/Blit.hlsl"

            #pragma vertex Vert
            #pragma fragment frag

            SAMPLER(sampler_BlitTexture);

            TEXTURE2D_X(_CameraOpaqueTexture);
            SAMPLER(sampler_CameraOpaqueTexture);

            float _Intensity;
            float _AspectRatio;
            float _DotsDensity;
            float _DotsSizeNormalized;

            half4 frag (Varyings input) : SV_Target
            {
                float4 blurredTex = SAMPLE_TEXTURE2D_X(_BlitTexture, sampler_BlitTexture, input.texcoord);
                float4 sceneTex = SAMPLE_TEXTURE2D_X(_CameraOpaqueTexture, sampler_CameraOpaqueTexture, input.texcoord);
                
                float2 adjustedUVs = float2(input.texcoord.x,input.texcoord.y) - 0.5;
                adjustedUVs.x *= _AspectRatio;

                float2 tiledUVs = abs(adjustedUVs) % (1.0/_DotsDensity) - 0.5/_DotsDensity;

                float circleSDFMask = length(tiledUVs) * _DotsDensity;

                circleSDFMask = step(circleSDFMask, _DotsSizeNormalized/2.0);

                float sceneBrightness01 = dot(sceneTex.xyz, float3(0.22,0.7,0.05));
                float lightingFilter = pow(sceneBrightness01, 2);

                float4 dots = blurredTex * (circleSDFMask * lightingFilter);
                float4 result = dots + sceneTex;

                return result;

            }
            ENDHLSL
        }
    }
}

I'm using Vert instead of vert, I'm sampling the _BlitTexture and my own sceneTexture thought the high-caps methods as opposed to tex2d, and.... then it's a whole lot of math which I have checked - it does what I expected from it if I isolate it

it really is just the case that I'm getting a black screen from _BlitTexture :c

everything else seems to be fine

LOL

I am an absolute buffoon

I changed "return result" into something else, and forgot to revert it

XD

finally, my dots are blurred ;-;

(like, their mask, on screenspace)

[wary hollow]

so something weird is happening. for some reason my world gets brighter when i go into player mode. the darker is in scene view (the desired look) and the one thats lighter is whats being displayed. im not sure hwat im doing wrong. any ideas?

[grizzled patio]

Hey, I'm trying to figure out how the urp in 2022.x works and am having a lot of problems.
Does anyone know why

    {
        // only show in game
        var cameraData = renderingData.cameraData;
        if (cameraData.camera.cameraType != CameraType.Game)
            return;

        CommandBuffer cmd = CommandBufferPool.Get("Custom Effect Process");
        using (new ProfilingScope(cmd, m_profilingSampler))
        {
            context.ExecuteCommandBuffer(cmd);
            cmd.Clear();

             Blitter.BlitCameraTexture(cmd, m_cameraColorTarget, m_tmpColorTarget);
             Blitter.BlitCameraTexture(cmd, m_tmpColorTarget, m_cameraColorTarget, m_outlineMaterial, 0);
             cmd.SetGlobalTexture("_gloabelTex", m_tmpColorTarget);
        }

        context.ExecuteCommandBuffer(cmd);
        cmd.Clear();
        CommandBufferPool.Release(cmd);
    }

combined with a shader that literally only does this

half4 frag(Varyings IN) : SV_Target
            {
                return half4(1,0,0,1);
            }

a) results in a black screen,
b) does not show me _gloabelTex in the Frame Debugger?

(m_cameraColorTarget is set during SetupRenderPasses via renderer.cameraColorTargetHandle
and m_tmpColorTarget is set during OnCameraSetup via

 colorDesc.depthBufferBits = 0;

  RenderingUtils.ReAllocateIfNeeded(ref m_tmpColorTarget, colorDesc, name: "_TemporaryColorTexture");```
)

Thanks for the help!

[gritty folio]

For (a), make sure you're using an appropriate shader. You'd usually include and use a vertex function from : https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/Graphics/blob/master/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.core/Runtime/Utilities/Blit.hlsl - and probably ZWrite Off ZTest Always Blend Off Cull Off
Could use the default URP blit shader as a basis - https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/Graphics/blob/master/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal/Shaders/Utils/CoreBlit.shader
Or use the Fullscreen Graph.

For (b), the SetGlobalTexture call itself doesn't appear in the frame debugger iirc. But should be able to visualise _gloabelTex from the output of the first blit (DrawProcedural?) - the target will probably be named something like _TemporaryColorTexture_(size) since that's what you used in the ReAllocateIfNeeded.

[grizzled patio]

a) Oh, I forgot to also put the vertex shader in my question, sorry. It just does the minimal ```
Varyings vert(Attributes IN)
{
Varyings OUT;

UNITY_SETUP_INSTANCE_ID(IN);
UNITY_INITIALIZE_VERTEX_OUTPUT_STEREO(OUT);

OUT.positionHCS = TransformObjectToHClip(IN.positionOS.xyz);

return OUT;
}The weird thing is, depending in which of the
Blitter.BlitCameraTexture(cmd, m_cameraColorTarget, m_tmpColorTarget);
Blitter.BlitCameraTexture(cmd, m_tmpColorTarget, m_cameraColorTarget); ```
statements I put my shader (or both/none) I either get a black screen for both blits in the frame debugger, only for the first one, or for none of them. When, as far as understand, it should always show a red screen.
b) Ah, I see. I think I just misinterpreted something I read regarding displaying the textures in the frame debugger. Thanks!

[gritty folio]

This vertex shader is not suitable for the Blitter API, you need to avoid using the model and camera matrices that TransformObjectToHClip would use - otherwise you are transforming the red triangle to be in the scene, not attached to the screen.
See the Blit.hlsl and CoreBlit.shader linked above.

[grizzled patio]

Ahh, ok, I think I got it now (this is all very confusing to look up and wrap the head around). Thank you very much!

[severe slate]

for some reason post processing isnt working for me. im using URP

nvm

[tawny cape]

What's the best way of turning a full screen shader graph into a post process that could be used by a post processing volume in URP?

[blazing jacinth]

how do i enabe PP in srp again sorry bumd question

is there something like a check box on camera that i need to tick

[mighty stump]

There is one, yes
The complete instructions should be in pinned messages

[blazing jacinth]

i added the post profile to the cam its not working

[mighty stump]

Make sure you're using the correct system
SRPs don't use the post processing package but their own volume framework

[mighty stump]

That is indeed the wrong one

[blazing jacinth]

yeah been using URP for so long forgot about srp

how do i add profiles in here now?

you just add lut here or something

just got his asset
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/shaders/fullscreen-camera-effects/post-processing-profiles-98845

wanna apply those post processing

np got it 😄

sorry been a long while did not need to work in srp

[mighty stump]

URP and HDRP are both SRPs or "scriptable render pipelines"

Taking another look at the screenshot it looks like you might be using the built-in render pipeline instead

[blazing jacinth]

or brip i guess

wrong trem used by bad

[mighty stump]

In that case the package is not incorrect, but the camera needs the post processing layer component

You can find the steps for that method of post processing in pinned all the same

[tacit egret]

Hi, I have problem, after enabling the Post-Processing Layer on my camera in Unity, I noticed that the default grid (position [0,0,0]) appears and obscures some objects in the Scene view. Everything is fine in Play mode. Can anyone help me find a solution to hide this grid in the Scene view with Post-Processing Layer enabled? (Im using BRP)

[mighty stump]

Did you try hiding the grid from the scene window

[hard cipher]

hey what post processing setting can you recommend for a horror game

[carmine thunder]

The tops of each of the big mushrooms have emission on them and the mushroom move side to side, is it possible to bake the emission on the mushrooms to improve performance?

[mighty stump]

If the glowing objects are seen only from one point of view, you could bake the glows into additive sprites

[carmine thunder]

Oh nice thanks, is that just right clicking and converting the material

[mighty stump]

No
I'm talking about using a sprite with a pixel image of the bloom rather than actual bloom

[carmine thunder]

And this will have the exact same effect but less performance?

[mighty stump]

Exact but only if you view it from a very specific angle
Could also place billboard glow sprites on each individual glowy part, rather than a sprite with all the glows together

[carmine thunder]

My camera only moves left to right

[carmine thunder]

Whats different about that?

[mighty stump]

That helps, though it looks to be a perspective camera so the angle slightly changes near the edges of the screen

[mighty stump]

Individual glow sprites/particles don't require making a combined texture, but might struggle with complex glow shapes

[carmine thunder]

Thanks!

[thin prairie]

i found this tutorial for a sharpening effect and it somehow works but it also lowers the resolution of my whole game

this is how the shader works

[mighty stump]

Scene color node uses the "opaque texture" iirc
Therefore it's subject to "opaque downsampling" setting in the URP asset, assuming you're using URP

And is also why transparent surfaces are unaffected

[thin prairie]

thank you

[crude mountain]

Hi am am working on a project using HDRP with ray tracing. I have a high end pc which costed almost $1500 to build. I am having trouble with maintaining a reasonable frame rate. I am not sure why but in free aspect resolution it is a steady 12fps..... Does anyone have any knowledge to shed some ligh on this?

there are no scripts in the scene that are conflicting with the frame rate. when i disable the post processing volume I have 150+ fps. I am using ray tracing on reflections, ambient occlusion, and global illumination.

[bleak dagger]

I am trying to use bloom in a project and I am getting flickers in a specific scenario, I was wondering if it's possible to somehow attenuate it.

I have a wave of meshes emitting from the same source and moving outwards in a circle shape. Those meshes use a shader that's transparent, blend mode is multiply with HDR color. The color's scalar is 3.

During the frame where the emission begins, and the few following frame where the meshes still overlap, I imagine what happens is that the final color ends up with some crazy high value (20 * 3) for intensity. That ends up bleeding really far on the screen.

Is this solvable w/o custom bloom?

[lusty holly]

like this:

[mighty stump]

@lusty holly not sure what happened to your post but scene fog only affects material color
Unless you're using HDRP's fog override, your two examples are showing the same thing

The simplest way around it is to use a skybox that has your fog color as a gradient baked into the cubemap texture

Or alternatively sample fog color and distance in your sky shader to make that gradient procedurally

Or reimplement fog in the objects' shader so it fades to sky color

[livid parrot]

Hey, can I somehow make player not affected by Global Volume Bloom?
I want only specific parts of the map to glow and not the player

[mighty stump]

Not really
You can work around it somewhat using material emission intensities and bloom threshold strategically make certain materials more likely to glow
Or render your player on an overlay camera without bloom on top of the base camera

[livid parrot]

i tried emission materials

but they never worked

look, i have this emissive material

with intensity = 10

and as u can see

this white part doesnt glow

[mighty stump]

Confirm that your project is in linear color space instead of gamma color space

[livid parrot]

how can i check that

[mighty stump]

Project settings

In gamma color space all brightnesses are capped at 1 effectively, with linear they can go above it and glow brighter / surpass higher bloom thresholds

[livid parrot]

it is in linear

[mighty stump]

You may also need to have HDR enabled

[livid parrot]

seems to be enabled

[mighty stump]

Then I'm not sure what could be wrong
Have you confirmed that any post processing effect works?

[livid parrot]

well i have vignette

and it works

[mighty stump]

So bloom also should, I suppose

[livid parrot]

yes, bloom works

but not with emissive materials

[mighty stump]

Bloom is based on pixel brightness so it doesn't really care if the material is emissive, brightly lit by a light or covered by different additive surfaces

If you happen to be using the 2D renderer, materials meant for 3D are likely to not work correctly if at all

[livid parrot]

i use 2d renderer

and thats my material

[mighty stump]

That one's a 3D material

With 2D renderer you're restricted to Sprite, Sprite Lit and Particle Unlit shaders

[livid parrot]

okay but sprite materials

dont have the emissive part

[mighty stump]

Correct

[livid parrot]

so how can i achieve what im trying to do?

[mighty stump]

Particle Unlit shader might have working emission, with some luck

Otherwise you'd have to make an emissive sprite shader with Shader Graph

Unfortunately the instructions how to do that correctly are not written anywhere online

[livid parrot]

yep it works!

Thanks!

[mossy gazelle]

Im currently playing around with custom passes and Im wondering if there is any way to exclude just depth of field on a specific layer?
Im currently using "After post process" option but like the name says it renders after all post processing, I only want the dof to be disabled
It is for my fps arms, I dont want them to be affected by the dof

[patent blaze]

Hello, I have encountered a certain problem where Bloom post process effect is not working HOWEVER this happens only when the project is BUILD not in the playmode. Has anyone else encountered this? I double checked everything I think might have something to do with this - Universal render pipeline asset, Universal Render Data and Camera.And I have post processing enabled where the option is possible. What else could I try? .. apart from creating new project..

[mighty stump]

Build targets by default have different quality levels which can have different render pipeline assets, did you check that?

[patent blaze]

That worked! I had no idea about this setting. I assume that you can change Quality via script to then put in options menu or something, right?

However it seems to be only a part of my problem. As I still have some object that should have bloom effect on, and they only have that in play mode.
It doesn't work for objects with this script on them.
Simply I on Start I just get a material from MeshRenderer of the object this creates instance of that material and when required I change it's HDR color value so I get the bloom effect. But the build version seems not to like this aproach .. or I don't know.

[mighty stump]

Bloom is always fullscreen anyhow so it's definitely something with the script
I'm not familiar with setting keywords per material at runtime so that's the only part that looks suspicious to me personally

Could test without it since it doesn't seem to be crucial to its function

[patent blaze]

I also think it has something to do with the keywords. But I just can't figure it out.

The reason I do it is that I need to achieve something what Redstone from Minecraft does. I need to do a chain of objects with same default material, but when they are "powered up" they have bloom but the further the effect goes the less intense the bloom gets. So that's why I use this weird approach to it.

[mighty stump]

What's the keyword supposed to do in this situation? If you're already turning the emission intensity to zero

[patent blaze]

Looking at it I see there I missing brackets .. when I disable the emmision there is no need to setting the color anyway... so yeah.. just a small mistake

Yet, I remain baffled on how can it work in play mode but not in build...

[patent blaze]

I figured it out with a help of kind stranger. The thing is my material that I use had the emission disabled by default => therefore the shader did not compile the emission into the runtime. (If that makes sense)

[blazing bough]

How can i disable post processing on UI elements? I have to render the UI on world space as it relies on the position of a game object.

More exactly, my UI (healthbar) is getting blurred because of the depth of field settings.

[mighty stump]

Render it on a separate overlay camera, or use screen space UI

You can still attach screen space UI elements to world space positions by converting world space position to screen space position and controlling the UI's position and scale based on that

But that's not always applicable, in which case you may need the overlay camera solution

[blazing bough]

Thank you

[mighty stump]

How is it related to post processing?

[final garden]

ah my bad wasnt sure which categorymy question was related to

[stuck gull]

Im using Smoothdamp to increase my focal length in depth of field and its buggy
it only updates when I hover my mouse over it and move it

doF.focalLength.value = Mathf.SmoothDamp(doF.focalLength.value, 300, ref vel, 0.4f);

Solved: I used Mathf.Ceil to get a whole number, now it at least shows in the game window but the inspector still only updates on mouse hover and move

But also my depth of blur change doesn't feel smooth, it feels like it's taking steps

[south moss]

Hello guys, i dont know anything about shader, post-processing and thing like that, i need a way to recreate this "ghost effect" on a building : https://xeogl.org/examples/#importing_gltf_OfficePlan

I have a building (a CAD) that i imported, and i want to do something close to my link (or at least having edge detection and being able to make the material transparent

I came across some ressources, one of them working well (having edge colored where i want), but when i put my material transparent it doesn't work anymore.

I used this : https://github.com/DumoeDss/AquaPostOutline

[wild hedge]

Is there any good way to keeps it color information intact while still capturing transparency?
I have a camera that renders to render texture using zero transparancy background / uninizalized.

From what I can tell, unity blends the partially transparent color with the "zero transparancy whatever black" at low transparancy levels, resulting in a desaturated colors. I understand blending might normally be nice between objects, but i want to capture this objects transparency while not blending colours with the backround.

Is there any good way to keep the cameras r, g, and b channels as if a object wasn't transparent, but actually change transparancy channel?

[feral kayak]

I think you want to render the objects that are getting rendered to the render texture (the red ball) as opaque, but still set an alpha value in the output of that opaque shader. The render texture will render the RGB as fully opaque, and store that alpha value of the opaque object so you can use that for alpha blending in your compositing later. The only downside to this is you can't have multiple overlapping transparent objects in your render texture.

[feral kayak]

I'm actually doing something very similar in my game. Here's the render texture output of the RGB channels and the alpha channel as a visual example of what I mean. (I'm using the alpha channel a little differently than just for alpha blending, but the same logic applies).

[fresh dawn]

probably a very simple fix, but my post processing isnt appearing in my scene. My camera mask is taking in everything, but my PP Layer is on the UI Layer. If my camera is on Everything, shouldnt the post processing be picked up?

[mighty stump]

As per docs the PP Layer component must be on the Camera
The PP Volume gameobject layer must match the layer defined in the PP Layer's "Layer" field

Camera's layer is not relevant

[fresh dawn]

so i have the PP volume on the camera as well, there isnt any gameobject. Is that the proper way to go about it?

attaching the volume to a gameobject rather than the camera?

that worked tho, thanks!

[mighty stump]

Volumes are generally intended to be separate gameobjects, whether global or local
PP Layer is an extension of the Camera to make it interact with Volumes

[fresh dawn]

Makes sense, thanks!

[opal ore]

Anyone here know if it's possible to have motion blur on desktop, but not in the actual VR headset with the Post Processing pacakge?

[wet coral]

Hey guys, so I'm working on a first person game where I have two cameras on my player, one to render just the item that the player is holding (I'll call it the item camera) and another for everything else (the main camera). I do this so I can layer the item camera onto the main camera so that when the player gets close to a wall, their item will not clip through because it is on another layer and thus is rendered on top of the rest of the game. However, when I apply post processing to the item camera as well as the main camera, it seems like the post processing effects are doubled. Is there a way to fix this, or a better solution?

[wet coral]

turning off post processing on the base/main camera and keeping it on for the overlay/item camera stops the doubling of certain effects like tonemapping, but some like depth of field are completely broken as it just blurs the entire screen when I have it enabled on the overlay/item camera

For anyone in the future, it looks like I was able to fix it by switching the order of the cameras, making the item camera a base camera and then making the main camera an overlay camera, and turning post processing on for the main camera but off for the item camera.

[dim cairn]

what is going on in this scene? there are two circle sprites, and a camera that is difficult to explain. can you select one of the sprites, and then click on its Color / Tint value, and take a screenshot?

[wet coral]

wanna bump this one again, turns out my solution was kind of hacky. After implementing my solution, I can't enable things like anti aliasing on my main camera because it is an overlay camera and I cant enable it on the item camera because post processing is not enabled on it, and i'm sure more issues will come up down the line too.

[stuck nimbus]

How to fix?

[mighty stump]

Be more specific

[stuck nimbus]

Not able to use SSR on a scriptable render pipeline

[mighty stump]

Yeah

[stuck nimbus]

I am using Beautify and hence this isn't working

Is there no possible way to add SSR on a scriptable pipeline?

[mighty stump]

It's possible but there's no official support for it so you need a third party solution

If Beautify is supposed to support SSR on URP, you'll have to find their support channels

[stuck nimbus]

Uhm so SSR I am using from the post processing package

A different one from beautify, the unit post pro

But I also need beautify so in abit of a ruckus

[mighty stump]

Post Processing Stack package doesn't work on URP at all, at least not in modern versions

[stuck nimbus]

Regarding third party solutions, know any?

[stuck nimbus]

😬

[mighty stump]

Not personally

It looks like Beautify has one system that extends PPS package, another that extends URP's volume overrides
You'll want to make sure you're using the correct one

[stuck nimbus]

pps?

sorry I am new in Unity

[mighty stump]

Post Processing Stack (v2)

Meaning built-in render pipeline's post processing system

[stuck nimbus]

Uhm, I believe I am on Beautify 3, is that the correct one?

[mighty stump]

That does have support for both URP and BiRP, but due to the nature of it it has to use different systems for each
If there are extra steps that you must do to use it correctly, the documentation will surely tell you
In no situation should you be using PPSv2 with URP, unless you're in an ancient version of URP

[stuck nimbus]

URP was used, not PPSv2..

I'll look around for the mention of extending post pro

Really need SSR

[mighty stump]

That's correct, though your screenshot was showing the PPSv2 post processing component
It's best to make sure it's uninstalled to avoid any confusion

[stuck nimbus]

Oh here?

This is the unity post process package that is the one that has SSR effect

Not beautify

[mighty stump]

You'll have to find one
The new URP sample scene implements SSR, but as far as I know it's not documented or set up for general use yet

[mighty stump]

I know and it's what I'm telling you to get rid of

[stuck nimbus]

Alright

[mighty stump]

Or just go with HDRP 🤷

[stuck nimbus]

Is something like SSR worth $50?

[stuck nimbus]

I mean, I heard HDRP works with powerful pc mostly

[mighty stump]

Both the $50 ones there claim to be raytraced
Probably not an option if you're aiming for the low end hardware

[stuck nimbus]

Alright

Reflect one for $20 looks ok

I'll checkup the requirements for HDRP, I doubt we'll use it though

Thanks a lot

[mighty stump]

Good luck
Remember to profile the performance of whatever solution you go with, as even simple SSR isn't free by any means so you know if it's viable
The official one you can find in the samples doesn't cost money but the cost is having to figure out how to set it up

[stuck nimbus]

Yeah for sure, For now I'll just drop this idea and start figuring it out again in the polishing phase.. Watching YouTube would be a good start to know which one looks better but I'd need to buy the ones in store to see how they perform. Not something I am willing to do rn 😅

[mighty stump]

Often a good call to save that stuff for later! Alternatively reflection probes and just old specular reflections can go a long way too if you use them right

[cyan kindle]

hellpppp

trying to use ps1 textures

the psx shader

losing my mind

[hot hatch]

Is Post Processing (v2) compatible with URP ? the documentation kinda says yes and no at the same time 😄

[mighty stump]

No
Used to be compatible for a little while in 2019 or so

[hot hatch]

Sad, but thanks!

[upbeat sail]

Hey guys. I have this empty and i have the main camera like this but nothing i do makes a change on the thingy on like, the world like the post-processing is not working.

am i doing something bad?

[hot hatch]

Are you using URP ? If so it won’t work

[upbeat sail]

I am using URP yes.

I was told by my teacher to either use URP or kick the rocks.

[hot hatch]

https://youtu.be/P3Ao6pKF4AE?si=Uef-lem4zZmgyO_M

This should work 🙂

[severe slate]

mb mb mb sorry 😭

for pinging everyone

won't happen again

😭

[upbeat sail]

Forgot to say; this fixed it.

Thank you.

[bronze trench]

Is it possible to get bloom on text rendered in TMP?

[mighty stump]

Yes as long as the Canvas is in screen space - camera or world space

Or if it's a mesh renderer text instead of a UI text

[sinful bloom]

how to add blur effect?
for screen

[shrewd pasture]

I need to grab a rendertexture before the post processing stack changes the image, how would i do that?

[shrewd pasture]

nvm got it

[mint kite]

Has anyone run into postprocessing being broken only in webgl builds? I read this can be caused by webgl version and quality settings and I believe I've already fixed those aspects but I'm still not getting postprocessing. This is webgl only, other platforms work fine. (URP)

[mint kite]

This turned out to be related to stacking postprocessing via render to texture. Still not working but not strictly a postprocessing issue, global postprocessing on the main camera is working. I am using other cameras with layer masks to have more flexible postprocessing but some part of this is breaking in webgl builds

[floral drum]

Hello I'm trying to create a nice neon effect in my game, and I want the aspect to be really soft, so I use simple Sprite with thin borders and I'm applying a bloom to it. But i don't know why part of the sprite are disappearing when moving and the bloom is flickering.
So if anyone know how to correct this it would be really nice.
Thanks.

[mint kite]

Id guess some kind of filtering/blending/scaling is leading to your sprite to sometimes fall below the threshold and no longer qualify for bloom. Maybe make the sprite edges slightly bigger and/or try changing to point filtering on the sprite tex. Can also try reducing the threshold

[mighty stump]

I'd rather ask you why they're flickering out since the sprites disappear entirely
That's not a problem post processing can cause

[floral drum]

hello again, so I made the sprites edges bigger and it stopped the disappearing problem, however I still have a lite flickering but not a major problem for the moment. Thanks a lot for the help 🙂

[limpid egret]

Post process/lighting has always been my kryptonite. How do I make this more realistic?

The outdoor hdrp Volvo scene is outstanding. I don’t knew at setting are they using to get that realness. Thanks for tips and tricks

[mighty stump]

"Realism" is 90% in the lighting and art assets
You can copy volume profiles from the HDRP template scene and it's probably as good as it will get from a post processing standpoint

[limpid egret]

Tips on what is my next step?

I’m thinking of the HDRP Volvo scene. There is just something they seem to have that I don’t. A setting or something similar.

I imported my track into that scene and it made it so much better.

[mighty stump]

Use all the resources including sample scenesthat you can as reference
Materials need to be made according to PBR standard to look properly realistic
Your materials can only look as good as your lighting

[sand elm]

Heey, does anyone knows what could i add or change to make it looks better? I feel it could be much better

[haughty nest]

Ambient lighting is very flat, the sky could use clouds

[hazy quartz]

Is it possible to make local volumes in URP show when you look through them rather than just being when you're inside them?

[mighty stump]

No
That'd be a wholly different feature
Technically you can implement one yourself though but it wouldn't be easy

[hazy quartz]

Ah I see. Would it be possible to just use maybe some fog to emulate it? All I've done is lower the temp of the area for desert

[mighty stump]

Emulate what? Temp?

[hazy quartz]

Well just add an orange fog to simulate what the volume would do

[mighty stump]

I don't know what your volume does
There's no local fog either though

[hazy quartz]

I have a local volume box that changes the white balance to a lower temp aka more orange. When looking through the volume, it shows nothing because it only post processes when you're inside. If I look through, I want to give it an orange fog/glow

[mighty stump]

The closest thing to a local fog or glow would probably be transparent large billboarded "soft particles"

But you have to be careful about overdraw with those

[hazy quartz]

Ah I see, ty. Can you clarify overdraw please?

[mighty stump]

Any transparent materials that are overlapping in screen space are bad for performance

[hazy quartz]

Ahhh I see, thanks

[sand elm]

@mighty stump As I can see, you're one of the people who answer most post-processing and terrain questions... So could you try to help me with this? I've already asked it but i didn't receive a certain answer... Ok, so, I've downloaded one shader to make curve my world... And it works correctly, the thing is that it doesn't work with terrains and it just works for meshes... So my question is how could i convert the terrain into a mesh (a plane a cube...) or just how could i paint over a plane if that's possible... I've decided to use a terrain cause its the only way i know to paint textures... Thank you so much!

[random terrace]

there's literally documentation of this inside the asset, also this is not post processing topic

[sand elm]

Oh, you mean on the curve world asset?

[sand elm]

I got confused, i wanted to public this on terrain channel

[random terrace]

yup https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nptLK-X8kwUdXWbE_RyqiaPHYd5R96zu7LptWJ2tcf4/edit?usp=sharing

[sand elm]

Oh! true

Thankss

But do you have the asset too and you know it works?

[random terrace]

Never tested it on terrain sadly

[mighty stump]

I avoid terrain questions to the best of my ability, and this isn't related to post processing either
Terrains are procedurally generated so they are no ordinary meshes, and they rely on the terrain shader to apply painted texture layers

I'm guessing it's close to impossible to use terrains with this and that it's better you use custom meshes made with Blender or some such
Blender can sculpt and paint terrains if you know how to use it

Just not Unity's Terrains component

[solid birch]

this my postprocessing on my scene @tall saffron sorry if is an asset file for unity

[quiet stratus]

does anyone know why i dont have the 'elements' option in my lens flare?

[random terrace]

is there anyway to exclude object from certain post processing? for example i have bloom and Color adjustment, i want the object have bloom but doesnt get affected by color adjustment

[mighty stump]

Not practically
Post processing affects the whole rendered image
To separate something would require it be rendered separately and composited later, which is a complex task

[cobalt salmon]

Srp lens flares are just fucked up now for some reason

When i click on a srp lens flare to open it in the inspector it always sends a long error message and the inspector looks like yours

Its like that on all 3 of the unity 2022 versions that ive tried

[quiet stratus]

oohh so its a known issue, i thought i was doing something wrong thanks for the info on that!

[boreal crow]

Speaking about post-processing performance: is running an aces tonemapper on the mobile project a problem? Would it impact the performance in a noticable way?

[tiny oar]

Hi, I just started a built-in project, but my emissive materials seem to clamp their perceived intensity to 1 all the time

The rendered meshes just look as if the intensity was 1

I set the color space to linear, enabled HDR on the camera and added a bloom post processing

Can anyone please help me with that?

[mighty stump]

Assuming your bloom doesn't have a low Clamp value, this is commonly a side effect of gamma color space as opposed to linear

So maybe the change isn't in effect for some reason

[tiny oar]

Thank you for answering!

Actually, just now I saw that on a normal camera the bloom works fine, I am using the LookingGlass plugin however and on the HoloCam it does not work

https://pastebin.com/YgEMmED5

This is the paste of the HoloCam, I already set all cameras to .allowHDR = true, but it still has no effect

Do you or anyone else have a clue on what I could change in that script to make the cameras act as a 'normal' unity camera with HDR?

[mighty stump]

That's a huge script and I don't know what it's supposed to be doing
But if it renders to a Render Target texture at some point, you must ensure that texture has enough color depth to support HDR colors

[tiny oar]

Thank you!
I can not exactly explain, but basically it renders 48 views for a lightfield display, then merges them

I already tried to set the RenderTExture space to DefaultHDR but no luck, but I guess that Quilt is just a way of taking screenshots

Do you think DefaultHDR should be right or is any other colorspace advised?
If you think that it must be related to the render target then I will try to modify all of them, I just wanted to be sure that I didn't miss some simple flag or something, thanks :)

[mighty stump]

I don't remember off the top of my head, but the settings need to be correct or the RTs ignore color values above 1

[tiny oar]

Okay I'll try!

[inland kindle]

guys, how can i make my game look cleaner in distance, its blurry and kinda ugly for eye, how can i make it all look same and clean like in close distances

[mighty stump]

Can you demonstrate what kind of "blur and ugly" is in question

You can zoom the game window which would help diagnose aliasing issues in particular

[inland kindle]

objects are not clear in the distance, u cant see the nice shape of it

for example npc model in distance is all messy/blurry u barely can see the shape of him

[mighty stump]

There is no "make shape nicer" setting
You need to show clearly what the issue looks like

[inland kindle]

look at this guy, he's full hd

beautiful

but even in small distance he becomes blurry

scrnshots made it a little bit worse

this one is a lil better quality

[mighty stump]

At a distance we're seeing the character occupy only 30 screen pixels in height, so loss of detail is inevitable
(Unless you get a new computer monitor that has twice the resolution every time you double your distance to the character)

[inland kindle]

this is not a realistic looking game, even realistic looking games i know that u can set up to look completely same in long distance and in front of u

[mighty stump]

No, fundamentally not possible because there are only so many screen pixels

Antialiasing can be used to preserve as much detail as possible when characters are very small relative to screen resolution
In that situation you'd enable multi-sample antialising (MSAA) and potentially increase render scale to 2x, though that one is very expensive graphically
But you should ensure that fast approximate antialiasing (FXAA) is not enabled because that one does blur details

[inland kindle]

fast approximate antialiasing where is that

in project settings i dont have msaa and fxaa

[mighty stump]

subpixel morphological antialiasing (SMAA) should not be confused with MSAA and should also not be enabled if you're using the MSAA or render scale

[mighty stump]

They are on the camera because they are a type of post processing antialiasing

[inland kindle]

i put my anti aliasing from 2x to 8x and turned on vsync, as well i put lod from 2 to 5

i dont think it made much diff

on camera i got only msaa but it allows me only 2 options -off, and -use graphics settings

[mighty stump]

I don't see any obvious AA problem in your screenshot so it's possible you've reached the best possible visuals

[inland kindle]

how is that possible

u cant tell me every game in world is blurry in distance

my eyes hurt

[mighty stump]

That's how distances work when we're dealing with computer screens

[inland kindle]

i know so many games that are looking perfectly smooth on huge distance

like everything is clean

[mighty stump]

There's no graphics setting that makes our screen grow physically more pixels

[inland kindle]

like real life picture

[mighty stump]

When you start delving into graphics, we start noticing rendering flaws that we simply ignored in other games
Mostly because we were busy playing the game

[inland kindle]

yeah, but i know i played games, they looked blurry in distance, i change some settings and it becomes pixel perfect

like even in 1000meters away character looks clean like its 1meter away

[mighty stump]

Can you grab me a screenshot of one such scenario and zoom in on the pixels

[inland kindle]

i have no idea where to go, i only got few games on my pc rn, and rust takes 1h to load

and rust i play on low

but im certain, thru my whole life, i know i played games that looked clean

maybe i just had better eyes as a kid..

and another thing is, since im making a game while in free aspect resolution, when i switch to 1920 1080, whole game is blurry like even in front of me

so when i export the game, what is it gonna be

how can keep the game free aspect, and why is it blurry in 1920x1080

[mighty stump]

Unity games always render at native resolution, unless you force otherwise

Native resolution of the user's monitor, that is

"Free aspect" means the game is rendered 1:1 at whatever dimensions the game window is

If you set it to 1920x1080 but your game window is smaller than that (as it is even when fullscreened), then it will be shrinked to fit the view, which isn't an accurate representation of the pixel ratio

This slider adjusts what the pixel ratio of the game window is, which helps you preview window sizes

[inland kindle]

so reason my game looks blurry on 1920 1080 is cuz it got shrinked, so in built game it will not be blurry cuz it will be full screen?

[mighty stump]

Seems likely

[inland kindle]

nice, ty

i got scared that my game will look like shi when its built

[mighty stump]

Making test builds semi-regularly is good for a lot of reasons

[inland kindle]

onee thing i dont understand about built game

is rn if i dont have any main menu and such, and build a game

i will click desktop icon and it will lead me directly inside running game?

like when i press run in unity

[mighty stump]

Build settings let you specify the scenes in the build and which one of them to run first

[inland kindle]

i just built the game

it looks beautiful on full screen

[drowsy reef]

Someone can help me?
Why Post Process effects aren't appering to me?
How can I active it to show and edit the effects?

[mighty stump]

This is not nearly enough information to diagnose the problem but the most common mistake is trying to use the Post Processing Stack package with URP
Instructions in pinned messages

[severe slate]

Hi all
I was trying to make my shadow affect the lower grass tile map
Image
Like the rectangular grass under the garden bed
I toggled the sorting layers
And editted the shape
And changed the intensity
But for some reason this issue occurs when i target sorting layers
I don't want the shadow to cast anywhere else, only from the garden bed to the grass below it
It only works when I toggle the sorting layers to be everything

Here are my sorting layers

I want the shadow to be from the inner grass onto the dirt:

When I set the layer of the shadow to only affect GrassBed (Grass around the garden), it does this:

When I do the inner grass it seems to do nothing:

[mighty stump]

@severe slate No pinging unless it's relevant please
You might get more answers by asking this question in #🖼️┃2d-tools rather than shaders and post processing as it's not related to either of those two

[severe slate]

sorry

[kindred inlet]

Hello. I want to get a fog similar to the pinned screenshot, which positioning depends on the array of info (it is a fog of war, yeah; and it is supposed to be in the "no-vision" parts of the map of course). And I know for sure that this one is done with a post-processing effect on camera.
I am full noob in the topic of post-processing and I saw that there are enormous use cases for them, so I am not sure from what should I start. So can someone give me a hint from what should I start for achiving such result?
Also might be important (or not - not fully sure), that I have a URP project

[mighty stump]

Shaders are much more typical for fog of war systems than post processing, but in either case the real hard part is not drawing the shadows or whatever but tracking, storing and reading where they should be
Which is more of a coding issue usually

Maybe it's tiles, maybe it's points, maybe it's raycasting, maybe a combination of them

[kindred inlet]

The thing is that I already have both:

1. The code that updates the array with info about visibility. So that I can get the 500x500 map of visions from it, where each cell is 2x2 square on the scene (so the real map is 1000x1000)
2. The shader for alpha coloring texture of the fog (basically just a quad/cube/plate) depending on the array of visions

The problem is that even if I take the cube mesh for the fog - it is still empty. But I have a 3D RTS, so it is not good to have an ability to "look under the fog" - in that case the only clear way to see your vision is to look at fog perpendicularly from above. But I want to let player rotate camera, so it is not the way for me
So when I saw this wonderful 3D fog in the game, I thought it could be the real way to do such things in 3D

[zinc estuary]

If I attempted fog of war I'd do like some overlay texture and just change the alpha values over the areas of the texture

[kindred inlet]

Well it should be better for the empty landscape, then what I have at the moment, but I am not sure that I will be able to include some tress, stones or other decorations of the map into such fog. And it will be not very beautiful and readable, if I have the darkened landscape and bright tree in the same place

[trail drift]

What is the function and ability of post processing?

[shut jetty]

I have a question, can I have 2 different post processing volumes that affect different objects? Or different cameras?

[mighty stump]

Objects no, cameras yes
Volumes affect a camera by their layer

[haughty nest]

As a way to patch the "empty" aspect of the cubes, you could render them on top of everything and doublesided, which would blacken the screen if the camera ended up inside

[fiery mortar]

Anyone know how to visualize the Depth of Field Postprocess?

[velvet spade]

Hey! I am not sure if It's just me but I can't get the post Processing package to do ANYTHING on my URP Unity -2023 project

[velvet spade]

Correttion even the defaulot post processing is not working for me.

[mighty stump]

It's not meant to, as the package is for BiRP
Follow the instructions in pinned messages to set it up for URP
Make sure the docs are of the version of URP you're using

[velvet spade]

Got it working . To many pipelines, to many packages to many Tutorials not explaining things. Thanks a bunch

[trail granite]

I'm getting motion blur on my first-person body whenever the player is moving.

This is just moving the transform back and forth with a camera parented directly to the player. There isn't any physics happening (and I've disabled Cinemachine)

If the camera is unparented, things look normal.

This is using the URP.

The problem goes away if I disable motion vectors on the ground and make sure the Motion Blur effect is set to "Camera and Objects" mode (it was on "Camera only")

but I would like to have motion blur on the surfaces I'm moving around on!

[fiery mortar]

https://youtu.be/URal08XKMvU?si=uKjH9GLz6B-joIs1&t=83

Speaking of motion blur, are there any postprocess effects that replicate this kind of blur? [1:23]

[granite monolith]

Is there any way to change the post processing profile at runtime? not the values but the actual profile

[plush pumice]

What your seeing there is just an inherent limitation of how motion blur is done for realtime graphics

[trail granite]

I was fearing that!

I guess I just hadn't run into this particular situation before

It's a lot better now that I've turned motion blur down from maximum power (which was too strong everywhere else anyway)

[plush pumice]

Yep but beyond that it’s unfortunately something one just has to deal with

[trail granite]

I was expecting the motion vectors to "cancel out", I guess

I thought it might be some kind of execution order problem preventing that

Although, actually

once I set it to "Camera and objects", the player body does look sharp again

it's just that the ground leaks into it a bit

[mighty stump]

I don't know what it's called exactly, but this is and old school motion blur effect that was pretty much entirely replaced by the modern one that uses motion vectors instead
The old style simply stores the current frame in a buffer and blends the next frame with that buffer by some percentage
Because of the confusing naming it can be hard to search for this variety in my experience, but if you look for "retro" or "analog" full screen effects you can probably find this effect among them

It's also fairly simple to make yourself as far as custom post processing effects go

[warm hemlock]

Hey! I have a really weird issue. I'm trying to add Bloom to Unity, but it's different depending on where in the scene the blooming object is.
This is how I would like the Bloom to look, notice the X Coord on the LineRenderer.
Now if I move it just a tiiiiny bit it looks completely different and horrible. I'm using a Cinemachine Camera and a Global Volume with Bloom effect applied too it

[mighty stump]

Does that behaviour occur with just that shader or also a basic default shader material that has high emission?

[warm hemlock]

Hmm.. Good call, just that material. I'll have a deeper look at it!

[mighty stump]

That means the shader is producing weird values on some or all fragments
Maybe very high, maybe negative or maybe NaN

[warm hemlock]

Thanks! I'll let you know if I find something out!

[fiery mortar]

I’d also be nice if it was possible to slow down the fading of motion blur

[mighty stump]

If you find the old school blur technique that should be simple
The speed of the fading comes from the opacity of the blend that's used to create the effect

[thick birch]

Hey, why do post processes affect all objects even when I assigned specific layers in post process layer?
There are several layers like module, character,voxel, etc.
This camera render all layers except sky
I know I can define multiple camera with different masks but can I achieve what I talked about with just one camera?

[thick birch]

How do you blend between two values (e.g. color) in color grading? just simple interpolation?
Do you define different camera profile and switch between them? I don't know if I pick this way how I should blend or define one profile and tune it according to situations in a game

[mighty stump]

Overlap multiple volumes and then control their weight

[mighty stump]

Post processing volumes don't affect objects, they affect cameras and the whole rendered image

[thick birch]

Thanks, so, what does layer mean in post process volume?

Should I define multiple cameras with different masks?

Camera1: depth 0,dont clear, terrain
Camera2:depth 0,dont clear, module

[mighty stump]

I believe that might be what it's for

[thick birch]

There are two cameras. One renders terrain and the other renders all stuff except terrain.
Both have the same depth order and don't clear flag. I want to render them based on depth.
I put post processing volume on the first camera.
The problem is that the second camera does not render correctly and the right order unless I turn off and again turn on it.

[buoyant cargo]

There are two cameras. One renders

My game screen is made with UGUI, and I'm using Post Processing's Bloom effect, and I realized that it will work on all the Images in my screen, and I only want one of them to glow, and the others don't, how can I do it?

[spice locust]

Hello, I have been in a debate about Post processing and its effect on performance. Does anyone know where I can do some reading about the specifics on how each option effects performance individually? Or even able to type a brief explanation here. Thank you

[mighty stump]

Have not seen such resources
Debates about performance are vague at best because it all depends on render pipeline, target platform, user hardware and where your bottlenecks lie in a specific project

I'd just test them in your specific project

Worth noting that URP and HDRP post processes are actively in development
Bloom for example got a "skip iterations" option that allows you to run it for cheaper

[tropic turtle]

I have a URP project where I have a camera stacked as an overlay on a base camera. I want a Post Processing filter to apply to both cameras, but when I tick the "Post Processing" checkbox on the overlay camera, it seems to double the post-processing effect on the base camera.

The overlay camera only renders some first-person arms, the base camera renders the rest of the world. To my understanding, if the post-processing was applied to the overlay camera, it should only affect the things it is rendering, right? Or does the post-processing apply to everything?

[gritty folio]

Post processing will apply to the whole screen. I haven't used overlay cameras a lot, but if it's doubling up, maybe adjust the volume layermask on the main camera (under Environment heading on Camera components iirc)

[frail sapphire]

https://youtu.be/b4S5wL51-II

[tropic turtle]

With my two-camera setup, the base camera has post-processing on and the overlay camera has post-processing off. On Start, the post processing will render properly on what the base camera sees, but not on what the overlay camera sees. Makes sense.

But if I turn on post-processing on the overlay camera as well, the post processing duplicates. I could get around this by disabling post-processing on the base camera, which will stack the post processing on both cameras properly. However, the issue is that sometimes I need to turn off the overlay camera, which turns off the post processing on all and makes a jarring transition. Would you know a way to fix this? The Volume layermask in Environment doesn't really seem to change much:

[gritty folio]

Would likely to enable/disable post processing from script when you toggle the camera. Should be part of the additional camera data, can use camera.GetUniversalAdditionalCameraData() to access that.

[severe slate]

Hello! Im a complete beginner to unity and I just created a lake and Im looking to create the underwater effect using the post processing volume but the problem is I can't find any of the settings for it. i alreay installed the asset, created a new game object, added the component (i only have post-processing behaviour), deleted the main camera and added a first person controller, but when I try to create the profile i can t do anything, i don t have any settings for it. Please help me out

[narrow sail]

hi everyone, I have an issue with effects. I have main camera with effect that makes old/pixelated effect on camera which works perfect and I have another camera that shows only flashlight so it wont clip trough walls. Issue is, effects on main camera works on everything except flashlight and I want it to work on a flashlight too...Here are some screenshots of my two cameras.

I want it to look like this, this is when main camera also render my flashlight but now it will clip with walls...

[mighty stump]

Try applying the effect onto the final camera of the stack

Post processing works on the rendered image "at that level" in the camera stack, so it affects everything below but not above

[narrow sail]

Sorry, what do you mean final camera

I have camera on my MainCharacter and another camera on him with Only Depth option

[mighty stump]

The final camera is the camera that's rendered last in your stack of cameras

[narrow sail]

I have effects on first one(FirstPersonCharacter)

[mighty stump]

So what I'm suggesting is put the effects on the last one instead

[narrow sail]

Oh thank you, it works now

[mighty stump]

Or don't use camera stacking at all
It's in some cases more beneficial to have first person items parented under a transform that squashes them flat on the forward axis as is done here:
https://youtu.be/pM2Lr5roSPc?t=281
It doesn't guarantee avoiding clipping like camera stacking does, but it can work better with lights and shadows

[mystic dome]

how can i make this bloom like this

[mighty stump]

First step is to enable bloom, then maybe increase the trail material's emission color

Bloom is always based on brightness of the screen pixels

[mystic dome]

Im having trouble finding it

cant seem to find a guide on youtube too

@mighty stump got any ideas?

[mighty stump]

@mystic dome Like I said bloom is based on brightness of screen pixels, not objects
The least impractical workaround you have is to increase bloom threshold, and also increase your particle material emissive intensity
This way the particles might be the only part of your scene that pass the bloom threshold, though there's not really a way to guarantee it

[mystic dome]

I kind of fixed it by changing the map instead of skybox to other thing i forgot the name

and that worked for me

[random terrace]

in URP there's render feature, which can make some object with specific tag to ignore post processing

by changing the render queu to "render after post processing"

the problem is it will ignore every post processing such as color grading, etc

there's other alternative such as beutify3 which have option to ignore object by tag without changin the render queu

[mighty stump]

That's not suitable for a lot of cases
To my knowledge rendering after post processing doesn't let you depth test
And the object naturally cuts through effects like bloom

Rendering after everything works with depth but you still get really weird interactions with shadows, bloom and SSAO

If you have any resources how to deal with these issues It'd be cool to see

[random terrace]

yup, there's no way to do that using unity post processing, the only good alternative is by creating our own post processing or using asset form asset store

and using "render after post processing" will break VR mutli pass too

[mystic lark]

Guys, please help me, I can’t light the color, how can I fix it?

[mighty stump]

Did you follow the setup instructions as I asked

[mystic lark]

idk

Oh, I don't see the Scene, I see the Game

[visual goblet]

would anyone be willing to help me setup post proccesing in my vr game? its not working ive tried everything and im in 2023

[bronze mural]

@visual goblet Check pinned messages for guides how to use post processing. If you have specific questions ask here.

[visual goblet]

ive tried everything and nothing willl happen when i enable any sort of effects

[bronze mural]

Please the #854851968446365696 on how to ask a proper question.

[visual goblet]

bro i just need help ill share my screen if you need

[bronze mural]

@visual goblet Make some effort to learn and properly illustrate your actual question if you have a relevant one.

[visual goblet]

I am setting up post processing in unity, and every effect i use will not show or do anything.

HELP ME PLASE

[bronze mural]

Next time you ping me with irrelevant question I will mute you. I pointed you to the guides that explain everything.

Color Lookup in URP does not work. What is the problem? It's not even in the documentation https://docs.unity3d.com/2023.3/Documentation/Manual/PostProcessingOverview.html https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@17.0/manual/index.html

[tame kiln]

Is there a way to have multiple global PostProcessing volumes in a scene?
example:

Volume1:
Bloom
Motion Blur

Volume 2:
Lift, Gamma, Gain
and so to kinda blend them

Anyone have success turning on HDR? I've got an HDR display, Windows 11, toggled HDR on, tried URP 2023.2 and HDRP 2022.2, but Unity is not recognizing my HDR display. I have tried:

        foreach (var display in HDROutputSettings.displays)
        {
            if (display.available)
            {
                display.RequestHDRModeChange(true);
                Debug.Log("HDR turned on!");
            }
        }

I've also done the full set up of enabling it in player settings, post processing, tonemapping, etc.

how do you enable deferred rendering to use screen space reflections. Thanks in advance

[vivid ridge]

Is there any way to mess around with ACES settings in URP?

[vivid ridge]

I’m trying to match the color correction of my Unity Scene from another game (different engine) but i can’t seem to find a good way to go about it

Anyone have any advice?

Source 2

im trying to match the color correction from Half-Life Alyx

from here for example

The only thing i could find in Source 2 regarding the LUT is a huge data set of Color Codes representing the LUT (like 4000 lines)

i somehow managed to get some python code working that converts that huge data to an LUT image (using chatgpt)

and this is what it spits out

But then i put this LUT into Unity and it looks all crazy

[haughty nest]

The fact that ChatGPT was involved means that code probably outputs something that looks like an LUT but is completely wrong in some unforseeable way

[vivid ridge]

Yep

Tried that but unfortunately it didnt work

flipped it vertically, horizontally etc

Interesting, how do i go about flipping these channels?

[vivid ridge]

i already tried matching the lighting but unfortunately it wouldn't give that same look

[vivid ridge]

@buoyant olive Is there anything else i could use other than LUTs

Yeah im giving that a shot with Amplify Color now

i don't need it to look the exact same i'm just trying to achieve that same colorful yet dark look

[haughty nest]

Baked lighting. Every map in source 2 is lightmapped, which definitely contributes to the look

APVs could also help with that "smooth" look the lighting has in source 2
https://x.com/thiagoklafke/status/1735860732519178243?s=20

[vivid ridge]

Interesting, Are they available in URP?

[young sonnet]

yes but only in unity 2023 and above

[young sonnet]

try this

set the color space to gamma

i think thats what they used back in the day

its in the player settings

[haughty nest]

Definitely don't use gamma if you're going for Source 2, they use a modern rendering pipeline.
But if the goal is a Source 1 aesthetic, then yeah

[vivid ridge]

Yeah haha

Half Life Alyx is only a couple of years old

[vivid ridge]

Interesting i'll give that a shot

[vivid ridge]

I'd like to do baked lighting but right now my GPU just isn't working with light baking

Will have to figure out some way to fix this

(and yes my NVIDIA GPU drivers are up to date)

[haughty nest]

That's actually really weird

Never seen that particular error before

What version of Unity and what graphics card do you have?

[vivid ridge]

i’ve tried multiple unity versions and im on an RTX 3080

I’m also having issues like that where the Drivers aren’t recognized in Photoshop/Premiere so its defo not on Unity

[tawny geode]

I am definitely in a URP project. How can i enable anti-aliasing for the Scene view. it is already enabled in Game view

Maybe it is HDRP only. I have it enabled in Scene view. No trouble there

[dire mica]

Anyone know if its possible to achieve this effect?

[mighty stump]

This looks like a screen space lens flare

URP and HDRP got them starting from 2023 version

[dire mica]

Thanks, It looks like I need bloom enabled for it to work though. I then need to up the scatter on the bloom which destroys the flare

[mighty stump]

If it can't be achieved with that screen space lens flare, you'll need a custom implementation that uses the same principles

Tweaking the settings rather than implementing it again is orders of magnitude easier though

Or if the effect only needs to happen for one object, you could fake it

[dire mica]

Thanks

[grave tusk]

Hi all - I'm having an issue with doing realtime altering of post processing effects which is something I don't have much experience with (using Unity 2019)
The image shows how I have it set up - in this case it's a red vignette to show when the player takes damage. It works at first, but in standalone it seems to stop working after a scene change, but not always after a scene change - sometimes it will keep working
Any ideas what's going wrong?

[hallow kindle]

If I split the effects into several ScriptableRendererFeatures, the performance won't be affected, right? That is, it will not affect the performance and it will remain the same or I need to move everything into one Execute method to get more performance and create one gigantic ScriptableRendererFeature class?

[deep sonnet]

how do i apply bloom or any post process effects after my pixel perfect camera?

[carmine thunder]

volume and bloom totally tanks my fps on mobile, what can I do to improve framerate, I do a number of glowing objects in my level

3D objects

how do you mean?

are there any resources you can link similar to this idea?

oh I see, right now im trying to make the spots on this glow, with bloom i can but it drops by 30 fps

thanks!

[solid saddle]

anyone use post processing in HDRP?

[mighty stump]

You can't practically use HDRP without post processing so
I'd imagine so

[solid saddle]

actually i just stumbled acrosss my solution

after 3 weeks

just set up a new volume lol

old one must have been incompatible somehow

as i always say when ppl ask me about unity, i respond "it's a waste of life"..

[west prairie]

I started with Post processing but now my colors I imported from blender are really white, but I need the bloom for another object to glow how can I get the bright colors back without loosing the glow effect of another object?

[glossy sandal]

I have my rendering to deferred but the plane fog method isnt seeming to work
vid ref: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s7_l3TXWPM

[mighty stump]

Have you tested if soft particles work generally otherwise?

[glossy sandal]

edit: fixed

[carmine thunder]

Has anyone had any luck with post processing bloom and mobile?

[nocturne escarp]

Hello,
so i was playing with this and I realized I ad some post processing effects. I don't remeber setting any of those
I am using HDRP, where could I found the settings of this PP ? i checked my scene and I have no volume with PP

i dont see anything related to PP here

oh okay i thought "post processing" would be marked somewhere

ty for helping

[rich igloo]

how can i increase the blur factor by a lot more

its good for what i want but its not blurry enough

the stronger the blur, the smoother the blend between these two shapes is

its also incredibly laggy for some reason

and boom shitty water

ok i figured out the lag problem

turns out its 1 4k texture

it also blurs what i dont want it to, unfortunately

i dont know how since its a seperate camera that cant even see the white blocks

its like, double bluring

when cast to a rendertexture, it works fine and the metaballs blur as intended

but viewed through main camera everythings messed up

fixed the blur issue, the volume was overstepping its bounds because i accidentally left it on the default layer

[heavy axle]

one cheap way to make things blurrier is actually to lower the resolution of the source image

idk if it will work well for this case tho

[rich igloo]

update: unity crashed and i lost it all because my silly lil 1660ti couldnt handle a 4k texture

control s has not saved me

[lost latch]

Idk what it’s called so I can’t search for it. Can I add the eye adaptation effect and the over exposure effect?

[cobalt salmon]

Not in urp, you can in hdrp since the cameras are based off physical cameras. Not sure about BiRP

Actually in BiRP its called auto exposure

Auto Exposure | Post Processing | 3.3.0 - Unity - Manual https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.postprocessing@3.3/manual/Auto-Exposure.html

[lost latch]

What is it called in hdrp

[cobalt salmon]

Its an essential post processing effect. Its called exposure

You can change the adaption time

You need the exposure to be progressive

Exposure | High Definition RP | 14.0.10 - Unity - Manual https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.high-definition@14.0/manual/Override-Exposure.html

Set the mode to progressive then you can use the " speed dark to light" and " speed light to dark" options.

[lost latch]

Thanks

[lost latch]

I’m planning on using this on mobile and is there no way to add stuff like color space and eye adaptation in HRP? Since I read that it doesn’t run well on mobile

[cobalt salmon]

Whats hrp?

[lost latch]

Urp i mean

[cobalt salmon]

I guess you can but thers no official way to do it

Youll need assets or your own post processing effect

[lost latch]

Damn

[lost latch]

I’ve been wondering. Can I isolate noise or add noise to dark spots?

And adjust it’s intensity depending on the light of the scene

[cobalt salmon]

Yes. Custom post processing effect

With shader graph

You create noise then mask it

@lost latch

[lost latch]

Thanks

[lost latch]

There's no exposure here

[brittle nacelle]

is there a way to convert gamma to linear with post?
my surface shaders explicitly requires gamma space and gets funky on linear
but tonemap requires linear else it looks weird

[mighty stump]

Exposure is not a Post Processing, but adjacent to it

[brittle nacelle]

Built in pipeline
The shader’s math is made for gamma space and thresholds are less flexible in linear for me

[brittle nacelle]

Well what can I do to make post and output linear?

[brittle nacelle]

well the shader is supposed to be 1:1 to a game
data and calculations are 1:1, i tried to maintain calcs and mess around with linear or whatever srgb stuff it wont budge
tonemapper i cant replace either other ones just look bad compared to what the game uses

tonemapper or shader

[mighty stump]

Why not both

Historically most games that did their visuals in gamma space didn't have HDR or tonemapping at all

[brittle nacelle]

ok shader first
shader here
tried powing the color
not right, lower part of eye is not in the correct threshold
tried adjusting values of threshold, eyelash always gets included in the threshold before bottom of eye

gran turismo tonemapper

Off
Linear ✅
Gamma ❌ (too grey)

uh this thing
https://www.desmos.com/calculator/gslcdxvipg

game explicitly uses gt tonemap
aces doesnt look right

[broken flicker]

Anyone knows if there is a documentation page on the Color Lookup in the Volume Profiles? I cant find anything

Im using URP in Unity 2022.3

[mighty stump]

I don't think there is

@broken flicker https://docs.unity3d.com/550/Documentation/Manual/script-ColorCorrectionLookup.html there's this really old one though
Probably works on URP too, as long as you note those inspector warnings too

[broken flicker]

The warnings are what i'm trying to figure out actually.

My lut texture is the right size compared to the limit set in the URP asset and it is the right type im assuming since it is not sRGB.

So im kinda lost

[mighty stump]

Is the LUT size 16?

In URP settings

[broken flicker]

I've tried with 32 and a 32 texture buit it wasnt working.
16 works for some reason...

Do you know if this is lighter performance wise than a color correction? I'm switching to luts since on paper it should be lighter?

[mighty stump]

No clue personally
If you test it let me know

[broken flicker]

Well, i've got it working and its totaly not worth it performance wise. Its aprox the same as a color correction

[neon rock]

Hi.
I have a small problem. I made a sun flare and i can see it thru walls even i enabled occlusion for it. I makin a FPS game so i have 2 camera. The main camera renders everything (priority 1), the second weapon camera is only for the weapon (priority 2). It's all fine but somehow all post processing happens on the weapon camera. How to fix this? 🙂
I tried disable post processing on the weapon cam and enable on the main but then post processing is not visiable in game at all if i do that.

[mighty stump]

Try instead enabling post processing on just the overlay camera
It'll affect every rendered image from earlier cameras as well

In URP you can't exclude lens flare on a per-camera or per-volume basis, it's a nonsensical limitation we just have to live with

In my opinion a viewmodel is not a worthwhile use case for overlay cameras, considering the problems that comes with

[stuck gull]

When bloom is enabled and I have two transparent objects over eachother, the objects get brighter. I know this is hwo its supposed to be, but how could I maintain the same brightness when these objects are over eachother?

[dry venture]

Is there a way to prevent emissive and transparent materals from looking 'glowed out' or overexposed? I have a sky lantern that I've turned transparency on for, in order to make it appear translucent. However, combined with the emissive effect, the body of the lantern appears completely white. I want to preserve the color variation and shading on the base map. Is this possible with transparency and emission?

[mighty stump]

Decrease emission intensity

[dry venture]

Thank you. I had tried that, but it seems to be an all or nothing type thing, with it being either not glowing at all, or too much when I turn up emission the tiniest bit. My global volume's bloom is similar with the intensity level.

[mighty stump]

What about the value between "not at all" and "too much"?

It could also be your bloom's Threshold value

It's by default relatively high and can cut off surfaces from blooming even when they are bright

[severe slate]

Could anyone point me to a post or video on how best to have post processing change due to a trigger? I wanted to have a win condition being reached in my game change the values of vignette and color adjustment values.

[mighty stump]

Which render pipeline?

I guess it makes no difference in this case
Have a global Volume with a weight of 0 and overrides to vignette and color adjustment, then use lerp or MoveTowards to move the weight to 1 in code when needed

[severe slate]

Just URP. Is there a way to do this and change the actual values of the vignette like the color? I tried doing something like creating a second volume with different values but it just changed the originals as well ^^; I figure if I can't have two volumes to switch between then I would have to change the actual values within the effects themselves. If it's not possible I might just settle for removing the darkened effect by swinging weight to 0 but I was hoping to go from a cool dark vignette to a light warm one.

[mighty stump]

They need a different post processing profile asset

Otherwise you're modifying a shared asset

Naturally you can have more than one volume, that's the whole point of having volumes

[severe slate]

Thinking of it I probably didn't make a new one when making a new volume

Thank you lol

[acoustic anchor]

Does anyone know how to get sort of ambience around the fire effect? the red circle is supposed to be where i want this ambience, but I can't use the floor etc since the camera doesnt pick it up
Image

1201908610901479456

#💻┃unity-talk message

[mighty stump]

What does "ambience" mean here?

[acoustic anchor]

sort of warmth reflecting from the flames? When you see fire you dont just see fire and completely black, but you also see sort of orange warmth coming from it, not reflecting on anything just going with the flames

[mighty stump]

Sounds like you want post processing bloom

For a really glowy fire you might also use a light component, and maybe some very soft glowy particles

[still vessel]

(using built in rp) ambient occlusion (multi scale volumetric obscurance)

• problem, the ambient occlusion looks different with different screen resolutions/sizes
  any way to fix this?

[neon rock]

This is my setup. My weapon has laser and reddot that i want to have bloom and motion blur so i must add post processing to my weapon camera. For some reason all my ppsing happens on my weapon cam (maybe because it set to priority 1) and only my weapon can block the sun flare since thats the only thing that the weapon camera should render. I tried to add "Post-process Layer" to my main cam and gave a specific layer to the Directional light and linked with the pp layer. It didn't worked. Also i tried to add "Flare Layer" component to main camera (which should be a component for cameras to see flares) and still not working. Also if i uncheck pp on the weapon camera my main camera can't see any post processing even if it's check on main cam.

If i only could make this stupid sun flare thing render on my main camera instead of weapon camera it would solve my issue. Does post processing priority field has to do with anything?

[mighty stump]

Last time I checked, no
I wouldn't use a second camera for a viewmodel, or anything that requires post processing
I'd prefer instead a mesh scaled down towards the camera or the render objects renderer feature

[shut sphinx]

hello everybody. I think I'm having issues with post processing on my build, but I'm not sure. this is what the game looks in editor:

this is what the game looks in the build, after loading the scene for the first time:

and this is what the game looks in the build, after reloading that same scene (without exiting the game):

there is something broken in the horizon but for now I am focusing on the general look. I believe post-processing is broken when running the scene for the first time, but I checked and it's all there

has anybody any clue about what could be happening, and why reloading the same scene fixes almost all issues? (whatever they are)

[marsh frigate]

Do you have one scene loaded, or many? You should make sure that the scene you intend to be Active is active

[turbid root]

Having some problems with my post processing, in the engine it looks like this

but when i build it looks like this

[marsh frigate]

Exact same question as above,

Do you have one scene loaded, or many? You should make sure that the scene you intend to be Active is active

[turbid root]

Yes, this is current across 4 scenes

There isnt more than one scene loaded until I reach a trigger

Ive tried searching for volumes and only find one, when I play I just see the one scene

[marsh frigate]

I would start by making sure there's no build warnings about post process shaders, and do the same for the player logs

[turbid root]

Only these currently

"Graphics.CopyTexture could not find source D3D12 texture object. Maybe it is a RenderTexture that is not created yet?"

This one has been there for ages and I cant find anything that can help me with it

[turbid root]

There is also as I said, one scene

[turbid root]

Did you find a solution?

[turbid root]

tried new pipeline asset, new volume new everything
