💥┃post-processing

[turbid root]

im going to lose it if its something simple in the end

[shut sphinx]

only one scene ever, it's always active. when the player dies, that same scene is reloaded - and from the second time onwards, everything looks (almost) correct

nope, but I keep debugging and it seems to not be related to post processing

I disabled it on purpose and re-enabled it 5 seconds later - changes nothing during the first scene; after reloading it, it still looks good

I'm checking one by one all the systems in the game

maybe it's a shader that doesn't get loaded the first time

but I have no idea why

nor which one could it be

I'm using custom shaders for deferred and deferred reflections, but I'm not sure how to even check if those get loaded properly

[turbid root]

The only thing I'm using is Unitys bump mapping package, I also have some custom PP effects but that isnt the problem either because I disabled them and it was still the same problem

Ive tried creating new pipelines, volumes etc

even going one by one with the builds to see if it was actually one of the pp effects

still nothing

the only thing this shit seems to tell me is "Graphics.CopyTexture could not find source D3D12 texture object. Maybe it is a RenderTexture that is not created yet?" and it doesnt tell me WHAT or where is causing it

But I did build another with a little test scene with the same pp effects and it seemed fine so idk whats wrong with it

[mighty stump]

What do you mean by bump mapping package?

[turbid root]

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/tutorials/surface-gradient-bump-mapping-samples-240786

[mighty stump]

Googled the error?

[turbid root]

yeah

[mighty stump]

Did you already test if when building a fresh project from a template the post processing works fine?

[turbid root]

Not a fresh project but I tested with this scene here and it was fine

[mighty stump]

I'd try a fresh project next
If that works as is, I'd try exporting a test scene with the post processing from your main project

It's the kind of process of elimination that helps me catch the really tough ones

[turbid root]

okay

[turbid root]

yep seems fine heres in project

heres in a build

[mighty stump]

An important clue no less

[turbid root]

i think i may have found a better one

In the new project, I was just recreating that scene exactly how I did it in my actual project

setting up the lighting then the PP

but when setting up the scene to be all interior

I turned the sky off and things like that since there will never be any time it will be visible in those scenes

[mighty stump]

Turned off the sky how, precisely?

[turbid root]

visual environment

so what I did was I went back to my actual game project and made a build of a scene that DID have the sky on

[mighty stump]

You definitely shouldn't turn off the whole volume since it's responsible for a lot of stuff

Override the sky with a solid black color in the visual environment if you want it gone

[turbid root]

it seems that scene is perfectly fine

[turbid root]

didnt turn it all off, just had visual environment on none for the sky

[turbid root]

but this scene here is perfectly fine so I'll change it to solid black as you said and make another build

[mighty stump]

You have granted me motion sickness

[turbid root]

hehehehe

[mighty stump]

Turning the sky on/off in my experience doesn't work great anyway if you need some volumes with it on and some with off in one scene, so a better option might be to set its exposure too low to be visible

[turbid root]

yessssssssss i was right haha!

im so happy but that also took me wayyy longer than i wouldve liked to think of lol 😆

[turbid root]

I put it to physically based and it just went black anyway so itll do for now

[mighty stump]

So what was the culprit ultimately?

[turbid root]

skybox setting on the visual environment effect set to none

;/

which effected literally everything in the build but not the engine

[shut sphinx]

@turbid root @vertx I failed finding the error

I debugged everything I could think of, but there's nothing wrong with it

so my fix (more like a terrible hack) is simple: as soon as the scene is loaded, if it's the first time loading it - I just go and reload it right away

the overall "loading process" is only a couple seconds longer, but then from that moment on, everything is correct

I wasted already 4 days chasing this bug or whatever it is, I'm gonna go with this "fix"

[turbid root]

Checked exposure or color space? Is there anything in the scene that can modify the light or any of the post processing?

Try and do what I did maybe in another project, just rebuild the scene, lighting, pp.

Doing everything step by step helped me. I had everything right except for one setting that messed mine up in the PP

[shut sphinx]

pp?

[turbid root]

Post processing

[shut sphinx]

I don't think it's the post processing at this point

the project is too complex, I think it might be something messing with certain shaders, but I have no idea which

[turbid root]

Not thr whole project just the scene

Just the map, lighting, pp etc

[shut sphinx]

the scene IS the whole project 🤣

[turbid root]

Ah

[shut sphinx]

there is no baked lighting

[turbid root]

Tried going with mixed lighting and bake?

[shut sphinx]

but:

• custom deferred shaders (custom lighting model)
• custom terrain shaders (not mine, but from microsplat)
• custom volumetric fog
• custom shadows (analytic + as a post process effect)
• custom volumetric lights
• custom full screen "old school" post processing effect
• unity post processing stack v2 values are modified on real time (saturation, hue, tint, pretty much everything is changed on the fly)
• custom skybox shader (set on the environment)

[shut sphinx]

I tried some time ago, even baking with bakery, but there were so many issues and artifacts on the build, that I removed everything and went full real-time. all baked data is deleted

I tried disabling and re-enabling already each one of the components but the problem persists

only by reloading the scene everything looks OK (not entirely as in the editor, but close enough)

[turbid root]

My first guess would ofc be something with those shaders? Or the custom lighting model? I haven't done much with shaders at all so I can only guess what it could be. Do you get any errors or anything?

[shut sphinx]

no errors, no warnings. checked the whole log of the build, everything is correct

I gave up already, the "fix" is enough for me 😄

now I have to optimize assets and check what's making it load so slowly

(the first time, that is; afterwards reloading the whole game takes ~2 seconds - and each subsequent reload is always correct)

tried preloading shader variants; tried preloading afterwards; tried everything I could imagine. I believe it could be microsplat messing something up, it's the only new shader I added since the last build (that didn't have this issue)

but I cannot remove microsplat now, so it will have to ship as is

in any case - thank you for the ideas, I think your solution could help others with a less weird setup than mine 🙂

[supple hull]

You should use Unity frame debugger and you can see every piece drawn in one by one and compare a good scene vs a bad scene and you should see the difference as it’s being built.

Because reloading a scene twice is not a fix

Wait till you get more complex. Loading data setting up persistence etc and loading twice starts to sound terrible

[sage cargo]

Does anybody know how I would go about creating a VHS effect, I can get down the Fish-Lens, and the static. But I don't really have any idea on how to add scan lines, and the actual glitching part of it.

[cloud blade]

Scrolling sine wave for scanlines, sample a noise texture and apply a horizontal offset for wobble/glitch effect. I'd also recommend raising the black point a little, playing with saturation and contrast as well as adding some color noise. A sharpening effect will also add to the 'vhs' look

[modest spindle]

hi, i sent in wrong so i send here.. is there a way to make the bloom more sharp?

Game feels like im watching through a dirty lens

[unreal oxide]

Hey, just a question, how do you make a distortion effect for the camera in unity? Like if it was a vhs

[hot flicker]

Hey there! Would someone be able to help me get an asset up and running that requires post processing? Trying to get it working, but cannot get the lighting to light up. https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/props/interior/lightup-and-neon-letters-204609#description

[mighty stump]

You would set up the post processing for your render pipeline using corresponding instructions that you can find in pinned messages, and then enable "bloom"

[mighty stump]

@hot flicker as I said, you need bloom enabled and turned up
Then turn up the emissiveness on the text meshes either via their material

[hot flicker]

Yeah Ok cool, I am just a bit confused on where to add the post processing effect

It came with a script for post processing, I am just not sure where to add it

Would I need to do it for each individual letter?

[mighty stump]

Did you look at the pinned instructions

[hot flicker]

Yeah I am just a bit confused on where to start with those tbh @mighty stump

I belive the material is using HDRP:

[mighty stump]

What render pipeline is your project using?

If it's HDRP as well then you start with the HDRP instructions for post processing

[hot flicker]

Where am I able to confirm that?

[mighty stump]

Project Settings>Graphics

[mighty stump]

"HD Render Pipeline Global Settings" means HDRP is in use
HDRP doesn't really work without post processing so if you're in a HDRP template scene and you're seeing things in general, you probably have bloom
Next you need to turn up emissiveness on the letter material

[hot flicker]

I am not seeing any bloom options on the letter/ letter material it doesnt seem like

[mighty stump]

Bloom is not a property of the material, emission is
This'd go much smoother if you took the time to read the instructions

[hot flicker]

Im just confused on where the instructions are on that link

Ive added the post process volume, but it doesnt seem to do anything

[hot flicker]

Yeah, im in that one

[mighty stump]

Wrong rendering pipeline's post processing

Post processing doesn't go on objects

[hot flicker]

Sorry, I dont get what you mean by this

Does it go on the main camera?

[mighty stump]

Uninstall the Post Processing package from the package manager
It never should've been installed and it'll confuse you

[hot flicker]

Do you know what the steps like 1-5 to do this would be? Lol. Or are you figuring it out along with me haha. Im just confused @mighty stump

[hot flicker]

I went ahead and uninstalled the post processing package

[mighty stump]

When I tell you the next step it seems you take one or two steps back instead

[hot flicker]

Step 1: read the article lol. I did that and am super confused based on that article haha

[mighty stump]

You need the emission in the material
You were close to it before

[hot flicker]

Ok, let me go back into that

Alright im in here again

[mighty stump]

The article has links
First "post-processing" leads you to a page that tells you what post processing is and which system is for each render pipeline
The second "Volume" explains you how volumes are used in HDRP and what they are, further by the "Volume Override" link

[mighty stump]

See how it tells you "emission intensity is from the HDR color picker in luminance"
That means you can use the color field there to increase emission intensity

[hot flicker]

I'm not seeing that in any of the articles

Maybe I am just missing something

[hot flicker]

Ohhh I see what you are talking about now

I see that making a difference, but it is not adding any glow

[maiden cargo]

hey there guys! wanted to ask is the Unity URP compatible with the post processing stack package? or can you only use one or the other?

im trying to use the post processing package volume in a 3d project with URP in it and when i add an effect like the ambient occlusion it tellls me that "scalable ambient obscurance does not work with scriptable render pipelines"

[young sonnet]

yes and no, there are a few post processing overrides that work on URP but URP has its own post processing system

[idle swan]

Ambient occlusion is a global render feature in URP, not controllable via volumes

[maiden cargo]

Yeah so basically i have to use a project without urp and only use the post processing package stack in that project for my effects right?

Ambient occlusion is an effect in the post processing package volume and i need it to play around with it and make my scene have a dark/horror style to it

[idle swan]

Maybe you can find another way achieving your effect. AO is supposed to be a subtle effect that’s not meant to produce meaningfully large dark areas.

[smoky lotus]

Hi. I have a question: If I change effects such as: Gamma, To Strength and others to the value: 0, then it will also be equivalent, how easy is it to turn them off? According to the schedule, yes, but the performance will also be the same, right? I'm asking this to make sure.

[young sonnet]

you can achieve that same effect with some vignette and color grading

[idle stratus]

I need an opinion on which of these looks better

[mighty stump]

Both look pretty terrible on account on being photos of a computer screen

[idle stratus]

Here I'll take screenshots and send them on my laptop rq

[wanton flint]

any way to have different cameras (but used together rendering the same image) each displaying different volumes on different object layers?

i currently use a stacked overlay camera but no matter how i set it up it seems to clear the post processing from main camera/main volume from some objects

basically second camera breaks the post processing effects of the former, regardless of Clear Depth setting

[mighty stump]

Each camera in the stack can be affected by its own post processing volume with its own profile
...But with the limitation that each camera below in the stack will be affected as well, as post processing affects the whole rendered image which includes images from previous cameras

If something breaks, your layers or profiles are likely not in order

[wanton flint]

i cant get the desirect effect even if i reorder the camera stack

[mighty stump]

What is the desired effect precisely?

[wanton flint]

i wanted to have effects from profile 1 and profile2 (using two cameras) on the same objects

and some unique effect on default layer only

i guess perhaps i need to just copy these effects to second volume profile

[mighty stump]

Note that the layers a Volume effects concerns cameras, not any other type of gameobjects

You have a post processing layer for camera1 and another for camera2
You can't mask post processing on gameobjects by layer

[wanton flint]

got it to work

[lavish helm]

Yo guys i hope i am in the right channel for this. But i have very little experience and just dont get my graphic to work how i want.
I have a Sprite that in scene view looks how i want it, but in game view gets pixelated.
I tried stuff i found online but nothing worked for me (Resolution, Import Settings, MSAA)
Would be glad if somebody could help me

[mighty stump]

Pixelation is likely if your Game window is zoomed in or out, but it's hard to tell as the screenshot is cropped

You'll also want "generate mip maps" enabled on the texture's import settings

If you're working with sprite renderers, the correct channel is #🖼️┃2d-tools, if you're working with canvas images the correct channel is #📲┃ui-ux

[lavish helm]

TY, with maximazing at play (less zooming) and generating mip maps its alot better. Its still pixelated but its enough for my porpuse anyways. thx👍

[wanton flint]

i wanted to add blueish tint to the terrain layer only so i went for a PP volume & stacked cameras approach and im getting 100 fps less
doesnt seem to be worth it. are there any other ways i could achieve this? or am i doing something wrong

i guess i can just add another directional light

[wanton flint]

the light approach is not perfect because it doesnt tint everything, but just the things that are unobstructed enough to get hit by directional light. but it will have to do unless someone knows a better way

[cobalt salmon]

turn off shadows on the light?

or maybe.... just maybe....*** change the color value of your terrain texture***

if you arent using any terrain textures, create one and change the color

also #⛰️┃terrain-3d

[woeful crown]

hey I have a question. I activated the bloom but materials have only "emmision true | false" but we cant change the emission for each materials. How to set the emission strength for a material and less strength for other materials? im using Unity 2019 :/

[bronze mural]

Bloom picks up on general color brightness threshold, doesn't have to be emissive. And setting different properties on the material in built-in pipeline you use Material Property Block or instance material in URP

[quick wedge]

is there any way I can use post processing without sacrificing performance on low end android devices?

[bronze mural]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@7.1/manual/integration-with-post-processing.html
Post-processing in URP for mobile devices

[quick wedge]

i am using SRP

[bronze mural]

Some of it probably still applies for BIRP as well

[quick wedge]

ok

[stray socket]

more or less no.
even adding a simple post process that does nothing (just passing the color to the output) adds about 20ms on my galaxy A02.
I'm using post processing stack v2 btw, I havent test using render hooks post processing (I think it should have less overhead, so it should be more performant)

[quick wedge]

Shoud i just disable post-processing on low end and enable it on high end

[quaint wagon]

yeah or use urp which is optimized for mobile

[quick wedge]

will urp work on old mobiles with 2 GB ram

[mighty stump]

Probably, but performance and feature availability would depend on how recent the old device's graphics APIs are

If the graphics APIs are old enough to be deprecated, then it's possible only old version of Unity might support them at all
I don't have any concrete info on that though

[quick wedge]

[floral crane]

maybe this is a silly question but... let's say i have a 2d game that happens to have a lot of repeating patterns like a grid of lines and whatever. when zooming, there are a lot of weird artifacts due to moire patterns and generally due to the varying mismatch in visual frequencies between screen pixels and line spacing. is the solution just "that's what AA is for" or can i do something like render to texture and then have the final camera just use a bilinear filter (or some perhaps more complex filter) for the output image (which i guess is a sort of "forced" AA)? what's the "normal" solution to this problem?

[mighty stump]

I don't think there is much of a "normal" solution, besides to avoid patterns like those if you need to zoom or avoid zooming if you have patterns like those
I think usually you'd just use a clear grid with thick lines, and fade it to another different size grid when it's becoming too small or big
There's a variety of remedies for it out there though, if you must have them
This post goes through all of them pretty much: https://bgolus.medium.com/the-best-darn-grid-shader-yet-727f9278b9d8
It's for perspective moire patterns, but I believe it works exactly the same in 2D

[floral crane]

thanks

[severe slate]

Anyone have any ideas on how I can get a VHS like Post Processing effect?

scalines, overlay etc. cant seem to figure it out

[hushed grove]

DId you look up some tutorials? There's no built-in effect for that in unity.

[mighty stump]

It's a combination of many different effects and there's not only one way to make it
In addition to tutorials there are free assets to take inspiration from
As well as paid assets which likely do everything you need them to

[cursive briar]

hey quick question, could you mask the post processing to just one sprite? or would you have to do that manually with animation and baking?

[mighty stump]

Post processing is full screen only

[vast flare]

Any thoughts on what's causing this crazy jitter when post processing is enabled? I'm out of ideas for what's causing it. I've re-added the cameras, created new everything, and it still vibrating like motion blur is on but it's not on anywhere in the project.

[mighty stump]

It is motion blur
You are disabling the override on a volume that's not itself active at all so no wonder there's no change there
Note that disabling an override in volume framework simply means "do not override this setting" so if you have another volume component or HDRP default volume profile enabling motion blur, there is no change

[vast flare]

@mighty stump That was it, thank you so much! Drove me insane.. haha. I didn't realize it would stick on even if off.

[delicate crescent]

Hello! I've recently been having issues with the Post Processing package working with URP. Whenever I apply any effect using the package, nothing actually happens. I was wondering if anyone has a way to get around this problem.

[gritty saffron]

URP has it's own post processing solution built in. The PP stack package has very limited functionality in URP

[jagged anvil]

Hi , I've a camera which records an avatar at play time and renders it on a side of cube which is made to look like a screen. The camera feed has a background image. The image looks good but the moving avatar is really blurry. My project is in URP. How can I smooth this out?

[delicate crescent]

Ok, thank you. I was wondering if it was possible to change things like vignette in the built in volume via code. I have so far been unable to and haven’t found any resources that say you can which is why I was trying to use post processing in the first place.

[gritty saffron]

Not sure, should be possible. Worst case fake it with UI

[delicate crescent]

Luckily I just found the solution. I have to use a try get to get the vignette from the volume. Thanks you!

[tacit egret]

Hi, can someone tell me how can I change the Vignette in Post Processing to white while still keeping the effect but ensuring it doesn't completely disappear?

[ashen gate]

Hi guys, can anyone tell me how to turn bloom on/off at runtime with URP ?

I cannot seem to find this information concisely, just a bunch of maybes or 'once upon a time' etc

[frigid nebula]

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.L)){ isBloom = !isBloom; //c# runtime code in webGL game, press inside key: L
sceneVolumeProfile.components[1].active = isBloom; } https://investus.itch.io/train-of-ghost-urp

[sturdy cove]

got a volume/pp related question in the urp channel: #archived-urp message

[trail kelp]

I have a custom post processing effect. That I add as a RendererFeature in URP asset.
It takes the blit texture, and then lerps it to White based on a variable.

I set it to run BEFORE TRANSPARENTS.

The material on the character is set to transparent.
And as expected the character does not get affected by this in the SCENE view.

However in the GAME view or SIMULATOR view, it does not work :(

Ok I have narrowed down the issue.
I went through the frame debugger.

The issue is, I have 2 Cameras. 1 for the world, 1 for the UI

Now the UI Camera renders AFTER world camera.

How do i disable this renderer feature in a particular camera

[daring turtle]

post processing isnt working for me, i dont know whats the issue

[trail kelp]

I have made a custom Post Process effect.
I made this by creating my own pass, renderer feature and shader.
I then added these all to the volume, forward renderer asset respectively.

However when I see in the frame debugger..
The effect is added under 'Custom Post Processing' Pass

What if I want to add it to the default 'Render PostProcessing Effects' pass???

how would I do that

also, how can I make a single Opaque object render AFTER the custom post processing pass?

I tried editting the RenderQueue of the Opaque object's material.
But it only works if the RenderEvent for the custom post process is .BeforeRenderingTransparents at most...

if I do .AfterRenderingTransparents it stops working

[trail kelp]

TLDR :
I want to inject a custom pass BETWEEN the 'transparents pass' and one particular Opaque object

[severe slate]

You have to modify urp's internal post processing pass because that's where urp handles all of it's built in post processing effects

Though it would be a pain to do that, you actually can't even change it if you installed urp through the package manager

Some time ago I was looking to achieve the exact same thing, and what I had to do was go over to github, look for the urp version branch relative to my unity version, download the repository, and install the urp package locally(unity will then compile all the stuff outside of the package manager, which groups all package's source code and therefore, impossible to change)

After that, you have to look through their source code and try to figure out how they implement each post processing effect, edit said files so you add your own effect, set up the shaders for it

At this point in time, I would recommend sticking with custom post processing being executed outside of urp's built in effects since it is too much of a headache to internally modify urp

Besides all of this, installing the package locally will also make it harder to upgrade to a newer unity version, since local packages don't get updated alongside the other packages installed through the package manager

In order to upgrade, you would have to uninstall the local package, update the unity version, look for the new version on github, download the urp package mathcing the new unity version you upgraded to, and finally re-install it locally

[stark olive]

Hi! I am making a post process with render features. If I do things directly to the camera texture in one go and use Blitter.BlitCameraTexture all is good, but I want to apply my changes into a temporary rthandle that I then set as a global texture, to be sampled in a later render feature. The problem I get with this is that using Blitter.BlitCameraTexture to render into a temp buffer it scales the rendered content in the target buffer, and it gets affected by adjusting the editor UI. Using Blitter.BlitTexture gives less scaling issues, but has other glitches like sudden frames of unwanted results, or filling the camera buffer with the wrong colors. Any clues? The gray area up here shows an example of the scaled content inside the buffer.

[stark olive]

In the frame debugger I see now that my new temporary render texture has a different resolution than the camera color texture, so that might be a good place to start looking...

[stark olive]

It seems the textures created by RenderingUtils.ReAllocateIfNeeded get bigger in y, when making the viewport smaller in x... But the camera target gets the appropriate size always....

[clever quartz]

I want only "some" objects in my game to be rendered pixel-perfect. How can I do that?

[mighty stump]

All sprites are affected by pixel perfect component, but so only sprites are affected by it
So you can use non-sprite objects
Just not with "upscale render texture"

[ashen gate]

This doesn't work 😦

[ashen gate]

Just reiterating this question. This place is my only hope really.

[mighty stump]

You'll want to be more specific
At minimum you only have to disable the gameobject with the override that adds bloom, but maybe you want something more than that

[crimson ruin]

anyone know why my volume only is applying in editor but not in game?

added a really really strong vignette to make it obvious and its not applying when the game is actually played

nvm theres just a button u have to check on the camera

[frigid nebula]

switching bloom works just try again its easy with keyboard press L Enter , you see the effect Live (req webg2/openGL3 update driver/hardware) but than if you need some special implemantation (i did in link the cfg added extra cubes to see) strength of light volume, have read more https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@7.1/api/UnityEngine.Rendering.Universal.Bloom.html?q=bloom

[little moat]

heya, sorry if this is a stupid question since I'm relatively new but how on earth do I turn on bloom? Every page online has a different answer ,and none of them have worked for me. I've been told to download udp, hdrp, set up a global volume, set up a post-processing volume, set up a profile, use srp, and so on, and quite frankly I only know what half of those mean. any help would be greatly appreciated :-)

[mighty stump]

Did you look up what they mean?

It would become much clearer

[little moat]

yeah, but I still can't get it to work lol

[mighty stump]

Then you know URP, HDRP and the built-in render pipeline are mutually exclusive alternatives

And that each of them has a bit different setup steps for post processing

[little moat]

I am aware, but I can't figure out how to get bloom to work on any

I'm using hdrp if it helps

[mighty stump]

Which one is your project using right now?

Then you find the docs link for HDRP in the pinned messages

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.high-definition@17.0/manual/Post-Processing-Main.html

[little moat]

alright, will try again and see how it goes. I'm working on something else right now but if I run into any more issues I'll come back here i suppose

[mighty stump]

HDRP will basically always have post processing enabled, so all you need to do is make sure there's a volume with overrides

[little moat]

thx for the help ^^

[gleaming sable]

I'm having an issue. For some reason, while it works perfectly fine in editor, my Full Screen Pass is not being respected after I build the game in URP

Is there some box I'm not checking, that makes the build actually use my Full Screen Pass Renderer, or some kind of thing I need to set up?

Nevermind, I figured it out. Apologies. Apparently the quality settinngs were interfering

[lost latch]

Why cant I change the settings?

also I cant seem to make the auto exposure working

we removed the opengl

[mighty stump]

The warnings seem to be telling you that your current build target does not support those effects

[keen delta]

Hi everyone,
I need a local fog volume and I watched many tutorials to make it
I was wondeing if its possible to make it without using the sky and fog volume.
is it possibile to use a fog shader and sse the clouds without the sky and fog volume?

I thought to use in some way a local volume to make it. If I use the local volumetric fog it does not work without the sky and fog volume.
But sky and fog volume creates a volume on all the environment. I do not need it!

[flat cradle]

how do you make 2 seperate post processing types? (ie. some things have certain effects and others have different effects)

i should mention

in the same camera

[vale plinth]

oh my god thank you, ive been trying to figure this out for so long

[lost latch]

How do I make the player vision closer or like limit it

So the player cant see that far

Like how a mist pass in blender

[plucky plume]

Hi does anyone have knowledge about scriptable render pipeline in URP on Unity, i'm currently trying to get the SSAO as a mask for a hatching texture on it and i struggle for a while on it. Thanks

[shadow harbor]

hey everyone
i need help with making my post process shaders work with hdrp
im not really expierenced with hdrp post processing and i have a simple post process volume on my camera but i want to start adding stuff like "CRT scanlines" and visual artifacting because im going for a horror theme

im not sure how i would go about making any of that stuff in hdrp
i've tried to make an hdrp post process shader but when i configure it it does not work and actually disables the rest of my post processing

[sick oriole]

i want to add ambient occlusion effect in my urp project. since i cannt use post processing package what way can i add it?

[mighty stump]

Don't crosspost

[sick oriole]

its realted to both and i didnt know in which to post

[mighty stump]

You choose one

[lyric yew]

Hi guys. Perhaps someone can tell me whether it is possible to exclude the influence on the skybox from “bloom”? I want it to be displayed only on materials where I added emission.

I'm using Unity 2022.3.22f1

[austere gyro]

bloom is a screen space effect, it will apply to every pixel on screen by default. If you want the effect to only apply on certain objects, you need to mask those objects out.

[haughty nest]

Or dim the sky

you can make a custom procedural sky material and decrease its exposure I think

[bleak dagger]

In blender, in the viewport shading tab, there is an option called cavity with a SS/WS sub-option.

How does the SS cavity work under the hood? I'd very much like to reproduce this

[grave arch]

I'm working on an unlit emissive shader, however it's not interacting with Bloom like I'd expect.
It's just spreading the color around but there isn't a "white-hot" center that I'd expect from a high intensity HDR color. Is this just how URP bloom works, or could my shader be doing something wrong?

I tried using the standard Lit shader with emission and am seeing the same thing. I guess URP Bloom is just...incorrect?

[gritty folio]

I think you need to lower the saturation in the colour picker slightly to let it go into white colours. (I don't know if that's necessarily accurate, but it's how the URP bloom works in my experience iirc)

[grave arch]

Thanks. Yea I tried that but the outer glow ended up being too pale. However I noticed that when using the standard lit shader if I set the base color to white it had the desired effect. So in my unlit shader I just added 1 to the output color and it gives me the white core I'm looking for.

[random terrace]

anyone here know how to make impact frame post processing for URP?

[trail granite]

It's possible that the shader isn't getting included in the build

[trail granite]

ah, whoops, i was scrolled back and didn't see the other messages!

did the other quality settings not have the renderer feature?

[outer plume]

For some reason, enabling post processing in my project gives my whole map a red tint? First pic is the texture I want and without post processing and the second is with

I can't figure out what could be causing this

[craggy widget]

is it worth URP? I'm frustrated to see many store assets are not URP compatible, and I'm considering reverting to built-in, but I can't tell if I will be able to replicate everything. Is it possible to use Post Processing Stack v2 just like URP post-processing? as in, assigning to different cameras different volumes via layer or whatever

that is the only thing that worries me since I'm using that URP feature, via layers you can assign different post processing to different cameras

[mighty stump]

There's no red tint, but different tonemapping
Post processing enables you to define the look of the rendered image whichever way you want
If you decrease contrast you might get a similar look, though you should consider what you want to use post processing for

[outer plume]

Oh I see, this makes sense. How should I go about fixing my issue? And where would I find the settings to tweak this? Thank you a lot ::)

[haughty nest]

Do you have any effects enabled? Are you using URP?

[mighty stump]

You have implemented post processing, right? That should already have you brought to the post processing overrides

If you don't want to get rid of the washed out look, I wonder what your goal is for using post processing exactly

[outer plume]

I’m using a premade template for making modded maps for a game. I didn’t implement it myself and didn’t know it could be removed/modified. I guess it’s the standard look that’s applied to every maps

[mighty stump]

Well that's up to the game isn't it
We can't really help with modding

[outer plume]

true.. at least I found what my issue was, thank you a lot :))

[maiden cargo]

Hey there people! i'm currently doing the post processing and lighting for my project and want to have a similar look to the game "inscryption".

i was wondering if anyone could help me understand how to achieve the same lighting used in inscryption where some elements that are important (like the table, cards ect... are lit or emit a very small amount of light while the rest fades to pitch black

for the post processing my guess is that it's just playing around with glow and grain and maybe having a pixel shader ( i have my idea on what to use for that) and other effects but the lighting part is what is giving me a headache.

i searched alot but could not find much helpful info (i'm very new to post processing so idk what to even look for properly) if anyone has some pointers i would love to hear from you!!

[mighty stump]

Ambient light is black and there's one point light (possibly with custom distance attenuation but not necessarily)
The sharp cutoff to darkness is a result of color curves or a LUT that implements that kind of threshold for dark tones
Possibly also posterization filter, or a LUT that includes it also

[maiden cargo]

Thanks for your response!!! I'm pretty new with post processing so i don't know about what you referred to but i will google it!

So basically it's nothing fancy like custom shaders or anything but all possible to be achieved by tweaking urp global volume and lighting right?

Also does the ambient light refer to an effect or is it just a directional light?

[mighty stump]

Custom light distance attenuation would require a new shader, if needed
Posterization would be a custom post process, but a color LUT override can approximate it
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/lighting-ambient-light.html

[hazy light]

ive turned on post processing and did some settings, but it doesnt look like it does anything like at all. is anyone able to help

like for my lights i did some bloom and it isnt showing

[mighty stump]

Make sure you're using the post processing of the cocrrect render pipeline
It's likely best to test with vignette effect because it doesn't rely on any extra buffers or any particular image information to show up

[untold hornet]

what is causing that conical artifact that follows the player and is dead centered on camera?
Only goes away if I disable the only lightsource in the scene

[mighty stump]

That implies it's related to lighting, not post processing

Might be the normal map of the ground

[untold hornet]

yeah, might be. I tried to change / switch, adjust every setting in the lighting and it won't help... it only disappears if I switch to some material, that has no "Terrain = true". I may wanna try some different shaders for that

changing shader also helped )

not really, because that shader simply ignores lighting... well... whatever...

[hazy light]

yeah im playing around with the settings and still nothing

[untold hornet]

it somehow were related to cinemachine and camera... I think I fixed that.

[mighty stump]

How exactly?

[untold hornet]

idk... I just removed the post-process Layer element from main camera and attached it to cinemachine virtual camera instead and that artifact said bye-bye

I really have no clue what I did ))

[mighty stump]

That doesn't make much sense
Post-Process Layer component must be on the Camera to function, which Virtual Cameras are not
If changing the shader helps, it was likely texture/material related

[mighty stump]

If you want something actionable you'd show what post processing you're trying to install and how, and what render pipeline your project is using

[untold hornet]

well... that artifact wasn't making much sense either... I don't know what I did really. MAybe I removed some stupid post-processing effect that did this.
Basically I wanted to add some camera movement in my main screen... which was like static. Added cinemachine camera and instantly got the same artifact. Which made me think that I have to do some magic with cinemachine. Went back to the "town scene" and changed something... I cant' say what, I have no real idea, were just changing whatever I thought I should and artifact were gone

you are right, attaching that element to virtual camera doesn't really work and it creates another camera component to work though

[mighty stump]

Don't worry too much about it
It's just very important to figuring out how stuff works to notice what's having an effect on what

[untold hornet]

sorry for bothering, but is this an issue? 🙂

[mighty stump]

Cinemachine's virtual camera's control the transform of a real camera
It's not really ever responsible for rendering problems, unless coincidentally

[severe slate]

Hi, im having an issue with my post processing not showing when my scene starts Im on Built in Pipeline and im using PP for a small VR project, never had this issue before and not sure what to do. The scope with the black ring is what im wanting but its not showing as you can see from the photo's

anyone know what could be doing this ?

[ripe valve]

hi, i"m working on making a game that has a bodycam POV. im thought of using lens distortion to get that effect along with a vignette and some grain. but when i get lens distortion to the right intensity, during the playtest, everything(terrain) becomes glitchy on the sides of the screen. any fix?

[haughty nest]

We can't help you without more information on how you're trying to make the black circle.

[silk oasis]

that is how lens distortion works. you could cover it up by adding a strong vignette or reducing the intensity

[ripe valve]

there isnt any way to fix the warping? its kind of game breaking

or is there another way to make a similar effect

[silk oasis]

i think theres an option to zoom in on the image

that hides the effect kinda

[ripe valve]

okay thanks

[subtle bloom]

The (ray) tracing option is not available in the screen space reflection override, while it was there in a different project. Is there something else I am missing? (I am using HDRP)

[warm rain]

I am getting these errors when trying to render the new materials not really sure what to do

[mighty stump]

What do you mean by "trying to render"?
As the converter says you can only convert Unity's material types with built-in RP shaders
If you have assets or packages you should import their URP versions to start with
Not related to post processing

[warm rain]

Ive imported the shaders with the packages but the prefabs and materials still display as pink

[mighty stump]

Do your assets support URP?

[warm rain]

Im not sure

[warm rain]

How would i know?

[mighty stump]

If it's an asset, check the store page for compatibility information and if it's a package, check the documentation

[warm rain]

Alright will do later thanks

Any one know why when I render to a render texture, the render texture has the result but the camera is showing all black?

Removing the render texture from the camera "fixes" it but I kind of need it.

[dawn grotto]

what are some good effects for realistic lighting?

[young sonnet]

ACES tonemapping, exposure, screen space lens flares and bloom are the main ones

[wind wadi]

why is my blur in camera not working

[mighty stump]

Is your project using URP or Built-In Render Pipeline

[wind wadi]

yes

how do i blur my ui background ?

[mighty stump]

Which one?

[wind wadi]

nvm got fixed another issue

how to give texture main text property in unity

for my urp special t owork i need a texture to be main how do i do it ?

[dawn grotto]

yeah bloom is goated

[queen lotus]

Am I doing something wrong here? Editor play mode displays all objects as white with a black void, however on the Quest 2 it renders like normal.

Why does my effect not function the same from Windows to Android?

[fierce garnet]

anyone know how to fix this?

[south sentinel]

Go to project settings, double click your used pipeline, enable post processing

[fierce garnet]

okay so im in project settings where do I go then?

[south sentinel]

Double lmb the reference under "urp global settings" at the top and that should take you to your assets folder

You should unmaximize your project settings just in case

[fierce garnet]

i tried doing that but like I think it might be a problem with my project

none of my point lights are working

[south sentinel]

check your lighting and shadow settings in your fidelity assets

should look like these

I am trying to add clouds using a cloud layer override inside of sky and fog volume, but the clouds don't show up.
Does anyone know what could be causing this?

[loud lichen]

anyone know why URP post processing would stop working in the editor? it works fine in builds of the game, just not in the editor itself.

using the frame debugger I can see that it's being processed, but the FinalBlit doesn't include the post processing

[wild hedge]

How would i achieve something like the illustrations, the red dotted outline explains how the geometry should render

• The yellow Geometry in the illustration sets the stencil to 1

I have two render object render features (URP) that renders depending on stencil values

• renders "inside" layer when equal to stencil 1
• renders "outside" layer when not equal to the stencil 1.

How would i go about making geometry from outside layer cut the stencil if its in front of the stencil geometry (and not render outside if behind), preferably without directly adding extra materials to them.

Here is the material shader for the stencil cutout.

Shader "Unlit/NewUnlitShader"
{
    Properties
    {
        [IntRange] _StencilID ("Stencil ID", Range(0, 255)) = 0
    }

    SubShader
    {
        Tags { "RenderType"="Opaque" "Queue"="Geometry-2" "RenderPipeline" = "UniversalPipeline"}

        Pass 
        {
            Blend Zero One
            ZWrite Off
            Cull Off
            ZTest LEqual
            ColorMask 0
         
            Stencil
            {
                Ref [_StencilID]
                Comp Always
                Pass Replace
            }
          
        }
    }
}

Check the clouds option in your visual environment override

thx

[ionic torrent]

Anyone have any ideas why the object motion blur seems to be restricted to in interior of the object?

[ionic torrent]

Can motion blur from one type of object only overlap with the same type?

[obtuse token]

Hello. Does anyone have a good resource that explains emission mapping so that bloom applies only to specific parts of specific sprites or specific canvas images? I tried following a few YouTube tutorials but none of them seem to work for me

[mighty stump]

That doesn't officially exist
Bloom is based on brightness of pixels of the rendered image, it has no knowledge if the materials are emissive or not

HDR colors, if the shader/material supports them can have very high intensity, so with a high bloom Threshold you can usually be sure that only those intense colors will bloom by passing the threshold

[obtuse token]

I see, thank you for the response!
Maybe I'm going about it the wrong way altogether. What I want is a UI element that is an image, let's say a panel in canvas. This panel has a rim that is a different colour and I want just that rim to have a glow effect. Would you still go about it this way? I.e. setup high intensity HDR colour on the non masked part of the image and setup high threshold for the bloom?

I should mention this is all in 2D

[pliant dew]

I think TextMeshPro has some built-in glowing features that doesn't require bloom

it's "fake", but looks pretty good.

The issue is that bloom is a fullscreen effect. It just grabs everything it sees and applies it to the pixels above the threshold.

if you want it on only a specific layer you have to do a lot of shenanigans, using extra cameras or RenderTextures combined with custom Fullscreen shaders.

if you don't want bloom anywhere else though, you can just set the text color to be above the threshold and everything else below.

[obtuse token]

Those are all the approaches I tried and yeah, in the end none of it ended up being what I was looking for.
I'm very new to Unity, started about month and a half ago, but this is the first thing I encountered that feels like it should be easy to implement but isn't 🙂 I will keep pursuing this for a little longer before giving up.

OMG I just did it, I'm not even kidding. First thing I tried after I came home from work

Ignore the looks, it's just a prototype, but this is what I needed to accomplish

[pliant dew]

Ahh, nice. Do keep in mind that this is still bloom in the global sense. Any other pixel on screen go above the threshold and it’s gonna start glowing too

Looks cool though :D

[obtuse token]

I watched this tutorial step by step https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiDVoj5VQ4c&list=PLuSSIruiNG0Eid_PXgpsSYaoRK_xxBjMV&index=5
However, the shader stuff is different, but in comments in the video someone explains how to do it on newer version of Unity.
Then, because it's on canvas, you have to set the render mode of the canvas to Screen Space - Camera and set teh Render Camera to post-processing enabled camera.
And finally, the bit that didn't work that I just fixed: the material on the shader doesn't get updated from the shader like it did for the guy in the video, I had to select the MainTex and Emission and Color manually

Which is strange, because it is setup in the shader, you can see in the video of my project that it is even a different colour than the light blue I setup on the material. For the guy in the video the maintex, emission and color changed on the material with the shader settings

[pliant dew]

nice though, good that you found a solution :D

[obtuse token]

Yes, that I can live with. I can setup the threshold and color intensity quite high and get away with it hopefully. The idea is the rim will be a very fine line, just a subtle LED-like effect to the UI.

[pliant dew]

cool beans, I love a lil' bloom.

[coral quail]

everytime i go into my game my post processing effects dont work but in the unity studio it works fine

[bronze mural]

@coral quail Make sure you know what render pipeline you are using and check manual in the pinned messages how to use with a specific one.

[hasty knoll]

I downloaded https://github.com/GarrettGunnell/Post-Processing/tree/main

but I can't figure out how to use it

It has all these scripts and shaders

But they don't show up in the post prosccess volume

I am so lost and out of my element, any help would be greatly apriciated

[inner dew]

Can I apply pp to only a selection of layers of objects? For example only text? Talking about volumes in URP

[hard raft]

i also want to apply post processing to only a text mesh pro element

[hard raft]

i am trying to apply post processing but i am not able to make any volume component
its not showing when i right click
i have the post processing package installed and i have unity editor version 2022.3.22f1 installed

i tried creating an empty object and then adding a post processing volume to it

and i also addeda post processing layer in the camera

and set the layer to a PostProcessing layer that i made

i also set the layer to postprocessing for the object i made (to which i had added post processing volume)

and also set the same layer to the components i want to add post processing

it is showing up in the scene view

but when i enter play mode its not showing at all

[bronze mural]

It's a camera effect, if you want a separate effect you need to render it in another camera then stack them

[bronze mural]

Make sure you are following instructions exactly and using 2021 version it was made for

[bronze mural]

Pinned Manual in the channel top right has a very detailed walkthrough. Make sure you are using the one for the correct pipeline.

[hard raft]

ok let me read

[inner dew]

Wait that's so simpel and smart

Thanks!

[hard raft]

how are you applying the effects to only the text elemetns?

i tried making another camera but it isnt rendering anything

[wet hound]

Yo, quick question, do Fullscreen Render pass features support Singlepass VR? I've made a fullscreen flash that works fine, but if I try and do something like a screen wipe, it's rendered in each eye. is there a way aroun this?

[inner dew]

You have to make an overlay camera

[hard raft]

yeah i did so
and made the culling mask only the "text layer" which is the same layer as the text elements in my project

but its not displaying anything and its just gray

i have my canvas(in which i have my text element) set to ScreenSpace-Camera

and the camera component itst taking is the main camera

the canvas is on the "UI" layer
the base camear has culling mask set to everything except for "text layer"
but it is showing all the layers

and the text only camera which is an overlay has culling mask set to "text layer" which isnt showing anything

[inner dew]

Should be the overlay cam

[hard raft]

yeah it is an overlay came and it is attached to stack in the base cam

[inner dew]

Is Text layer and UI the same?

[hard raft]

text layer and ui the same?

[inner dew]

You said 2 different words, shouldn't both be UI layer?

[hard raft]

i have an addition layer

on which i want to apply the post procesing

i hve seperated the text onto that layer

[inner dew]

Your canvas with UI layer is probably overriding the text layer

Try out until it works

Or make 2 Canva

1 UI layer without pp

And one UI layer with pp

[hard raft]

ok ill try that

thanks

[inner dew]

Make Overlay cam, let's call it UI cam, only render the both UI layers. Then have the main / base camera not render UI layers

[hard raft]

ok i think i should try that

[inner dew]

Well I guess you need 2 UI cameras

If the pp is cam-based

[hard raft]

wait can i have the pp not cam-based too?
i am using URP

[inner dew]

Yeah with virtual cameras I think

Cinemachine

Idk about built-in

Can't test it myself rn sadly

But you want it to be cam based

To only render text with pp

And the world without/with different pp

[hard raft]

i came to realise i cant have two different canvases

i am makign a tic tac toe game and the buttons have the text element

i only have UI components in my sceene

and in those i only want the text to have pp

[hard raft]

as long as itll work i can use it with or without cam based

[inner dew]

Yeah for the initial approach you would need cam based pp

[hard raft]

ok then cam-based pp it is

[inner dew]

You could have all parent objects set to no layer and only the text to text pp layer

But idk how layers work in terms of parents are on a different layer

Just try it ig xD

[hard raft]

i manually changed the layers of the text component so the canvas layer is not over riding it

[inner dew]

Okay

[hard raft]

i have the following layers

the main camera is set to defualt layer

canvas is set to UI layer

the canvas has 9 cells which is set toUI layer

each cell has a text mesh pro componnt which is set to TextLayer

the camera has the main camera as the render camera in screen space - camera

the main camera has the culling mask of everything but the TextLayer

[hard raft]

still in the game scene it is showing the textmeshpro components

[inner dew]

Try experimenting with it

[hard raft]

can a ui element other can a canvas decide how it is to be rendered?
like canvas has the option for render mode

I didn't find a Sun point in that asset, this one does have it and it's also free, I recently used it in my scene (I plan to change it for the one I acquired yesterday as a gift)

I have a problem here. I'm trying to use this Render Features (Screen Space Ambient Occlusion) to have shaded outlines. But it has this irregular appearance like spots on the skin (on the neck). and I wanted it to look more uniform. I am using URP Lit on the character. and a Point Light

[brave pendant]

isn't the intensity too high?

try using 0.5

[zenith ember]

Can anyone help me? I have post processing on, and I checked that it worked. I just don't know how to make it show on the editor camera

[brave pendant]

can you show you camera inspector

you mean the camera or the scene?

[zenith ember]

ok

First on is the editor camera and the next one is post processing

[zenith ember]

I have all those checked

[brave pendant]

can you show the post process settings in the inspector panel

[zenith ember]

ok

sry it took so long, literally nothing would respond

[brave pendant]

do you have more then 1 camera?

[zenith ember]

Well maybe?

Let me check

Nevermind, it's fixed now

[brave pendant]

How

[zenith ember]

I replaced my First person controller

[chilly pike]

Question? Is there a way for a model to let the player be visable behind the wall in a state

this is the example that I want

I want it so that you can see him though the wall and not like this

[brave pendant]

what do you mean model? so it's 2D or 3D? because the image looks 2D

[chilly pike]

its 3d

[brave pendant]

then it's not what you want

there is multiple ways actually

you want the object to fade and be a bit transparent? or you want the player to be completely in front of that object?

what is the perspective of your game? isometric?

[chilly pike]

I want it to be in front of the object

In sonic superstars if you were to jump you can see that sonic or whatever is being played can be seen from infront of the model when they are really just inside it

basically you can see them though the wall when they are in a non-grounded state

As of the example I put in the top. The first picture is what I want and the second is what I don't want

@brave pendant In case you don't know what the game looks like here beta 1 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aOqfxdj3P0OULxtqpEYROzrFZamyEjcI/view?usp=sharing

[brave pendant]

it's not about post-processing btw

[chilly pike]

Then what type would this be?

[brave pendant]

do you mean like this?

[chilly pike]

not exactly

Let me go into superstars real quick

But you kinda getting the idea

yoiu can see here where he jumps and appears in front of the object

but if i were to go on freecam then he doesn't have this effect

[brave pendant]

if its always in front of them you can easily use 2 cameras

one for the player and one for everything else and overlay the player cam on top of anohter cam

[chilly pike]

You know thats what I was thinking

[brave pendant]

but the player won't get shadows

from another object

[chilly pike]

but its not always in front. Its only in front if its not on the ground

Shadows is not a problem for me as of the moment

[brave pendant]

but it looks in front of the ground anyways

there is only like rocks that is in front of the player

[chilly pike]

If he on the air. Once he not on the air thats when he seems ok

[brave pendant]

btw if you're using urp, it's a urp related question we better keep it there

[chilly pike]

but I can try the camera trick and make a script to enable and disable it from there

[chilly pike]

Sadly I'm using it

[brave pendant]

then you can ask your question in urp about rendering layers because it's another way to fix it

[daring orchid]

Hi there, I'm using the universal rendering pipeline and none of my two "full screen pass renderer features" apply to the canvas. When i change the "Render Mode" from the "Canvas" to "Screen Space-Camera" and drag my main and only camara the canvas doesn't even render, it becomes invisible. Any solution?

[young sonnet]

i dont think fullscreen shaders affect UI

[tender plinth]

I think I achieved the desired effect, this pastel tone that dims the light on curved surfaces. But there is still a small defect and that is that if there is an object on top, the softness is lost and creates a line illuminated from below (for example, hair on the skin, creates contours illuminated from below)

Likewise, it is not perceptible, since the camera loses focus when the character is very close thanks to the effects of post-processing.

Is there a way to build a Custom Render Pass to only Render GameObjects that are in a List, but also use DrawSettings and all the other things? It seems like that should be possible

[hard raft]

I am makinga tic tac toe game, i have made the actual game but now i want to try to add post processing to only the text elements in the cells in the game. I am using UI elements to make the whole game (canvas, panels, buttons, textmeshproUGUI).

My UI looks like this this

i only want the X and O's that are within the play grid to glow, something like this

i was able to achieve this look in a separate test project in which i only had the board but the other elements which indicate the current player turn were not present so when i apply it to my actual project other light colored elements also start glowing .

I was able to achieve this by using Post processing in URP and setting the RenderMode of canvas to "Screen Space - Camera" and adding the main camera component in the Render camera field.
I created a global volume and added the glow effect, but that also caused other lighter elements to glow up(more than the text in the cells) which i dont want.

What i have tried to isolate the glow of text:
i have made a separate canvas for text named "TextCanvas" which also has RenderMode set to "Screen Space - Camera".
i added a new overlay camera and added it as the camera field in the TextCanvas

i stacked the overlay camera to the MainCamera
The TextCanvas and all its elements are in a separate layer called TextLayer

The culling mask of the MainCamera is set to everything except the TextLayer
and the culling mask of the TextCamera is set only to TextLayer.

All the text elements which i want to glow are in the TextCanvas

The MainCamera has post processing off and the TextCamera has post processing on.

They are rendering the canvas and the text within it properly

But when i add a global volume object, everything starts glowing (even the objects that i dont want to glow) like in picture

And when i play the game, it does something that i cant even describe(glow keeps on increasing) Vid
I have tried looking into it but i cant get to work it properly,
If any info about any other setting is required please tell

[mighty stump]

Not possible, unless your text is rendered first by a camera with post processing and then other things are rendered on top it by another camera without
In that case your text will be unavoidably behind other objects
Post processing is always per whole rendered image at that time in the camera stack, including rendering result of cameras rendered before it
The glow "keeps increasing" because your scene has no background and your camera's background is uninitialized, so when "nothing" is rendered to a pixel it just keeps whatever was there previously which in this case means bloom that keeps accumulating

[hard raft]

so there is no way to keep only the text glowing by any way?

ill try changing the camera background then

[mighty stump]

Not with post processing bloom
With a HDR text color you could make it brighter while increasing bloom threshold so practically only the text might glow, even if bloom is applied to whole screen

TextMeshPro also has a fake glow effect for text materials

[hard raft]

oh so i can add a glow material to it?

[mighty stump]

It's technically a type of soft outline but may work for you

[hard raft]

i can try this too
i dont want it to be too much or too many effects
so should i go with adding it from TextMeshPro or try with HDR?

[mighty stump]

You presumably are already using TMP since the legacy text is deprecated so might as well try that

I also believe that legacy text doesn't support HDR colors for text but TMP does

[hard raft]

yeah i am using TMP only

ill try with outline for now

though in the "Outline" section in the shader tab is only showing color and thickness options

or do i have to do something else?

[hard raft]

yeah i tried that
but it doesnt seem to hitting the mark though

i would like to use the HDR method only

if you wouldnt mind , can you help me with that?
i couldnt understand how can i make the HDR text color britghter?

[mighty stump]

Any color picker that says "hdr" and has the intensity slider can do that
I don't remember with certainty if TMP supports that by default

But a higher intensity is all it takes, assuming your project hasn't disabled HDR support

[hard raft]

i turned it on
in the player settings
so ig i would be able to use HDR support

[hard raft]

let me see if there is such option

it shows this when i click on vertex color in text mesh pro element

[mighty stump]

Vertex color is always non-hdr

but the TMP shader supports HDR color

[hard raft]

Oh yeah in the face value

So it can change the intensity of a single color right?

[mighty stump]

Every color of the TMP distance field material supports HDR

[hard raft]

yes it works now

thanks a lot
had been stuck at it for too long
so i really appreciate ya

[hard raft]

is the face component applied to each and every text mesh pro component?

is their a way to isolate it to only the 9 texts in the cells and not be shown in the text which shows the current side and the win text?

the white seems to be glowing more than the intended color as its intensity is also increased

what to do if i only want to change the intensity of a certain color?

[mighty stump]

"face" is a property of the specific material
If you change the material, all texts using that material will reflect that change

[hard raft]

so making a new material and giving that specific material to those 9 objects and then changing the intensity of that wont change the intensity of the other texts?

[mighty stump]

Correct, if other texts use a different material

[hard raft]

oka let me try that

[mighty stump]

Usually you want to duplicate the default one before you modify it for a different purpose

[hard raft]

yeha i think that would me more useful

[coral cedar]

I am unsure in what chat to ask, but maybe you can help me.

I build a Post Processing effect, but for that to work, i need to Render GameObjects onto a Buffer. Currently i iterate over a List of Objects and render them with cmd.DrawRenderer ... the problem is, its hundreds of objects, each of them resulting in a new draw call which seems highly inefficient. Anyone has any idea how i could solve this issue? Maybe get them all into a RendererList so i could call only one draw call with them ?

[quaint wagon]

yeah, use the rendererlist

thats the right way to do it

[coral cedar]

yeah but how do i transform a List of GameObjects, or a List of Renderers into a RendererList ?

[quaint wagon]

you can't, you need to rely on a camera and use the built-in functions in srp

I don't have any resources right now on this, on mobile, but you can take a look at the source for the RenderObjectsRendererFeature thingy

[coral cedar]

so there is no way around it to put all those gameObjects onto an extra layer and render them there? Mhm ..

[coral cedar]

will do once i am back at a desk!

[quaint wagon]

you can

but can't do it manually with a c# list, you have to implement it with the RendererList class

RendererList is like a c++ blackbox

[coral cedar]

if you have an example or anything how to do that, that would be huge, i couldnt find anything to solve this issue

[quaint wagon]

all you do is create it with some functions in srp and call other functions on it with srp, no length, no accessing objects in it, no nothing

[quaint wagon]

I would have but I won't be at my laptop until monday evening

it's hard to begin cause the documentation is lacking

[coral cedar]

yeah it truely is ... i am glad i got my effect to work by now but i am quite far from it being optimized.

[quaint wagon]

but I would recommend implementing the RenderGraph path if it's supported in your project

[coral cedar]

need to read up what that is, 1 sec

[quaint wagon]

there are like ways on how to write rendererfeatures in srp and RenderGraph is the new one which will be supported

the other will be deprecated

btw I think theres a function in RenderGraph itself called createrendererlist, or it's in some other class

then you have to rendergraph.userendererlist(yourlist)

then cmd.drawrendererlist()

for creating it you will have to do some filtering

it's how you decide which layer to render

you can also add a custom pass into your shader which you can render with your feature

[coral cedar]

i will need to read up on Shadergraph a little more later

[quaint wagon]

so instead of drawing something like UniversalForward or DepthNormals you can draw for example MyCustomOutline pass

[quaint wagon]

you cant add custom passes in shadergraph but its kinda unrealted

renderergraph is what u meant I guess

maybe

[coral cedar]

yeah sorry, i am in bed already and its super late for me so i am a bit ... slow ^^

i meant RendererGraph

[quaint wagon]

oki, good luck and don't give up, it's hard to get it working without any docs but once its done its worth it

[coral cedar]

in the development phase, i can let the system run with its hundreds of renderpasses .. it works for now. But there needs to be an iteration to make it better for sure. If you remember me on monday, feel free to ping me how you solved the issue, i will see if i solve it myself udring the weekedn

[quaint wagon]

sure

[coral cedar]

thanks already. RendererGraph sounds interesting, will take a deeper look for sure!

[wide spear]

my post processing is not working

am I missing something?

I set up the URP

[marsh frigate]

https://unity.huh.how/graphics/post-processing/choose-pipeline

[meager pasture]

I'm working in Unity 2022.13.14f1 and trying to apply separate post processing effects to separate objects, by layer...

I think I understand the right way to do this:

• create a new camera, set it to overlay, set it's culling mask to the layer i want it to render/post-process
• turn on PP on the new camera, set its volume the the layer
• create a new PP volume/profile, set its layer to the same as above
• add the new camera to the main camera's stack

Questions:

1. is the above roughly correct?
2. is it expected to work in my version of unity?

What I'm seeing:

The post processing effects from both volumes apply to everything.

I'm asking because I've seen some people on the Unity forums mentioning a similar problem, so I want to know before digging in further if I'm chasing a non-workable solution

[little bobcat]

heyy uh can you guys help me? I cant seem to be able to find the "post processing" checkbox under the camera...

[mighty stump]

Your project is using the built-in render pipeline but you're looking at the instructions of URP for post processing

[mighty stump]

You're probably seeing the expected result that applying post processing on just the overlay camera also affects the base camera
That's because the overlay camera is rendered on top of the base camera, so overlay post processing affects both

You can render objects after the base camera's post processing with an overlay camera but not vice versa

[chilly mason]

idk wtf is happening but when i build to android my game is so much darker so no reason
2019.4.40f1
Built In Render Pipeline

its way higher contrast

changing blit type to Auto or Never didnt work (its set to Always rn, same result)

[nocturne vigil]

does anyone know how to implement floating origin with volumetric clouds unity 2022
without using the unity 6 beta version

[vital lake]

I have some problems with setting up custom volume box with full screen shader effect

1. It doesn’t respond to fade radius. When increasing the fade radius it just pops out with 100% effect further from the walls of the box
2. Am I able to somehow set it up so that it is visible (the volume box) from outside?

[livid parrot]

Hey, I decided to add day/night cycle to my game and I wonder how to approach this

I have multiple skyboxes

and I wonder how to smothly change between day/night skyboxes

[marsh chasm]

im trying to add post processing to URP

it adds it to the scene

but not the game

[haughty nest]

check the post processing box on your camera

[marsh chasm]

Thanks 🙏

[wind wadi]

why is my post processing not working ?

i treid every postprocessing in it with diferent values still did not work

[mighty stump]

Wrong post processing

You're trying to use PPSv2 which is for BiRP

[wind wadi]

how to fix it ?

[young sonnet]

remove it and use the built in URP post processing

[wind wadi]

i got it thanks!

[lean oriole]

How do I highlight certain objects in a shader, trying to make a white FLIR/thermal vision shader [heard I can do this with post process]

[mighty stump]

Ask in one relevant channel at a time, please

[severe slate]

idk if this is the right channel to ask for help to my problem but, its simple, but i rly idk how to do it, i created a slide bar on a canvas, and then i applied an effect for my camera, but the effect affects the canvas as well, and my slider bar becomes distorted, how can i put a straight bar again?
I am a new in unity sow i rly cant understand much.

[lean oriole]

No each one is different

Shader and post process

I was thinking of using a shader to highlight the object and post process to make it black and white

[mighty stump]

Post processing is a tool to apply shaders to the whole screen

[lean oriole]

Oh

Ok well can you help lol

Kinda struggling with this a lot

[mighty stump]

Not much, your question is very unspecific
But it may help to know that URP and HDRP also have a "shader override" feature

[lean oriole]

Like I want to make certian objects glow while the others dont

So like a thermal effect where certain things are white and others are gray

[celest furnace]

Hey there is this thing I don’t know how to do/don’t understand much about (goldfish memory).

I am currently writing my own pipeline and when applying things such as Tonemapping and bloom, I use a floating point render target. And the way I present it onto the screen is by blitting. But the cameras default textures format is Unorm RGBA8 (horribly explained just now, I know). Which causes the game screen to be less colorful and more bland (likely due to color value clamping?). However the scene view looks normal, having all the values correctly mapped. Can I change the cameras default texture? Or is there a way to fix this? It’s kind of annoying having the scene view look better than the actual game view.

[lean oriole]

How do I make things shine with post processing bloom? as I see only light shines and I want to make my tracers shine [They only shine when near ground]

[wind wadi]

how can oyu animate postprocessing making postprocessing changes very smooth

[acoustic plume]

Is there a simple tutorial out there for applying a shader to the camera as a PP in URP?
I have a shader that does palette swapping (my game just uses 4 colours, but I want them customizable for the player). The shader works, I've tested it on a Raw Image displaying a render texture, but now I need it for the camera as a whole.

[mighty stump]

There's the tutorial by Febucci that works for older URP versions as well as new
https://www.febucci.com/2022/05/custom-post-processing-in-urp/
And then there's the official one for URP 14 for the full screen pass renderer feature
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@14.0/manual/post-processing/custom-post-processing.html
But also one for how to do a full screen blit
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@14.0/manual/renderer-features/how-to-fullscreen-blit.html

I don't know what the practical difference between those two is

[acoustic plume]

Thank you! I'll have a look through all of them

[shell maple]

In the built in render pipeline, similarly to the _CameraDepthNormalsTexture that lets me get screen depth and normals, is there a texture that gives me what areas are in shadow and what areas are not?

[severe slate]

no gifs?

[severe slate]

idk if this is the right channel to ask for help to my problem but, its simple, but i rly idk how to do it, i created a slide bar on a canvas, and then i applied an effect for my camera, but the effect affects the canvas as well, and my slider bar becomes distorted, how can i put a straight bar again?

[subtle plinth]

I have a custom PostProcessing effect that adds blur to the screen. My issue is that it works fine in the editor, but in the build it just clears the screen. Does anyone have a direction for me to debug this in?

[mighty stump]

Most commonly when something's different in build is that your build target is not using the same quality level

[subtle plinth]

I have removed all other targets, so that seems to not be the issue

I'm using URP and I'm using a custom post processing effect that is causing the issue, I'm using this shader: https://github.com/daniel-ilett/shaders-gaussian-blur

[mighty stump]

On what build platform?

[subtle plinth]

I'm building for Windows 64 bit

I have concluded that it's the blur effect causing it. When in game (without blur) the issue goes away

The main menu has blur in the background and it shows like this in the build

so something with the depth buffer it seems

Changing the rendering path does not seem to change much

[mighty stump]

The shader may be getting stripped from the build if the build process assumes it's not used

[subtle plinth]

Does the shader need to be in a resource folder or set to be build?

[mighty stump]

Graphics Settings has a list for "always included shaders"

[subtle plinth]

Yes! You're a legend!

That did the job

[valid apex]

Hey, I am yet again looking for a "solution" or an approach for object limited postprocess effects. So basically I want to use the existing "Fullscreen Pass Renderer Feature" in URP but limited to certain objects (preferably by layer). I got that working with using an additional renderer feature called "Render Depth to Texture" (which I found on git) that gives me the depth of objects selected by layer. Then I can use that global texture in a regular builtin fullscreen pass and use the depth texture to do depth comparison and mask out my effect. This seems like a good approach but I would like to create a single render feature that combines the two passes but my knowledge of custom renderer features is very limited so maybe someone can point me in a direction where to look at (tutorials, forums etc.) or even suggest another/simpler approach. Thanks ❤️

[limpid igloo]

Temporal Anti-Aliasing is a post-process effect, no?

[mighty stump]

Depends on the render pipeline

What what precisely do you mean by post process effect

In SRPs it's a post processing effect technically, but it's not controlled by post processing overrides

Rather by cameras directly

[limpid igloo]

I'm in URP... the distinction you've made must be a distinction the editor itself makes too... I was surprised to see that using a Render Objects render feature to render my UI after post processing didn't prevent it from being effected by TAA (therefore, jittery UI)

so I'm really scratching my head on how to prevent my UI from being effected by TAA

[mighty stump]

It jitters even in screen space - overlay mode, not just screen space - camera and world space?

[limpid igloo]

No, it doesn't jitter in overlay, but it does jitter in screen space camera, which I need to use as this game supports split screen.

I wish there was a "Screen space overlay camera" option :/

[mighty stump]

Hmm might be worth asking in the urp forum about rendering after TAA to hopefully reach a dev
I get the feeling only they may know

I guess your backup options might be to scale the two UIs to the split screen cameras in unified overlay screen space

[limpid igloo]

That seemed plausible, but nightmarish to figure out how to scale/position them appropriately.

[mighty stump]

Nightmarish? Sounds relatively simple mapping on the face of it, especially if your split screen cameras do not change size

Definitely more work than camera space UI

[limpid igloo]

I had tried working with it previously... having to effectively rewrite the Canvas Scaler seemed a bit out of reach for me at the time

I had considered trying an additional overlay camera, but I am using deferred rendering and they are not compatible

[mighty stump]

I hope that wouldn't be necessary

But I'm not sure

[meager steeple]

I'm having an issue in my VR game that's making my game unplayable! Let me explain. I have had Post-Processing in my game for a while but I decided to remove it because it made the game lag. I completely removed it from package manager, all scripts gone. Now, whenever i'm in VR, the game glitches out like crazy (see screenshots). I'm not sure how to fix this. Please help!

[frosty niche]

How can I stop text mesh pro from having a bloom effect?

[river flame]

Create new layer and add it to your text, than remove this layer from your camera culling mask, create new camera without post processing that renders only this layer, set clear flags to depth only and set depth to 2

[frosty niche]

thanks

Hi! Anyone using Volumetric Clouds can help me? I have problem with clouds, when i look a them, there's like Film Grain attached on clouds. Any help?

[unreal pine]

Hey, I'm wondering - is it possible to apply post processing to a render texture after a camera rendered something to it? If not then how can I apply post processing only to specific cameras? (I am making a CCTV system in a game and want to apply stuff like chromatic aberration and film grain to them, but not to the player camera)

nvm, I figured it out

[dim crag]

hi chat! I recently followed the custom post processing tutorial, and I was wondering if there was a way to use a custom volume component instead of a render feature

[gritty folio]

You still need a feature, but there are methods to connect it to a volume component. In newer versions there is / will be a template (maybe Unity 6? idk), but otherwise this tutorial explains a similar setup.

[dim crag]

oh thank you! thankfully i'm using unity 6 for this project so the template is available

thanks for the links

[wind wadi]

quick question can post processing be animated ?

[odd drift]

with the animation system, I don't think so, with code I think it should be possible somehow

[mighty stump]

I think Animator can animate pretty much any property, and even assets
Did you try it?

Either way you can animate the properties of a script that in turn controls the post processing with using the correct methods

[gentle umbra]

I used a method from the video below to make oulines for my mesh and it's perfect
BUT.. when I try to build and run the game it keeps crashing
any ideas ?

https://youtu.be/VpIIFdwTKyQ?si=MhB1s7Mo8ZCzExFF

[mighty stump]

Have you confirmed the crash is because of this outline effect?

[gentle umbra]

Yes

I tried to remove the effect and the game ran perfectly fine

[mighty stump]

Any crash logs to offer clues?

[gentle umbra]

It runs with the effect without problems in the editor

It gave me this error

[mighty stump]

Did you find this thread yet
https://forum.unity.com/threads/getting-couldnt-switch-to-requested-monitor-resolution-on-windows-build.714257/
It seems to suggest that it's an OpenGL issue
Which editor version are you using

[vivid salmon]

I have grabbed the roles

now where do i find help

[gentle umbra]

2022.3.14f1

[mighty stump]

First thing I might do is to update to newest 2022.3. which is .30f1

[gentle umbra]

Now I am on the 2022.3.30f1 build and still the same exact problem

[gentle umbra]

I made a dev build and it is giving this error

@mighty stump
Thank you very much for your help
I found the solution and the problem
the problem : I didn't include the shaders to the build shaders so they weren't available when I build the project
the solution : is just the 5th point in this readme file (https://github.com/Robinseibold/Unity-URP-Outlines/blob/main/README.md)

[brisk sparrow]

Im trying to create a radial offset from noise in shader grapp
When I add the noise to screen UV the result is offset to the down left conner of the screen, how to change that the graph will offset screen uv from center in radial behaviour?
The first image is what I come up with (The screen like move to down left conner)
The second image is what I intend to do (UV offset from the center)

[valid apex]

Subtract 0,5 from the screen UVs before applying the effect and afterwards add 0.5 to make it go back to the origin. That will make it scale from the center.

[brisk sparrow]

Thanks for reply, you mean like this?

[valid apex]

Oh, right you are offsetting it by adding the noise. Well in that case either swap the add with multiply and remap the noise from 0-1 to 1-whatever.

Or if you want to use an offset value you would need to create a kind of vector field to tell what direction it should displace in.

[brisk sparrow]

tysm, change from add to multiply work 💕

[crude spade]

How do I get bloom to affect the alpha channel ? i'm trying to record particle effects with recorder but even with an exr you get an alpha channel that doesn't include the bloom in the alpha... works perfectly fine if you matte it down, but that's kinda useless. (pipeline independent, i've tried it in both urp and hdrp (not birp because im using vfxgraph) in 2022 and u6

[lethal forge]

hi, im learning Render Features in URP and i wrote a render feature, it works fine until line 35, i get null reference there, leading somwhere (2nd screenshot), everything else works fine, any ideas how to solve? I guess camera texture not giving apporunity to write to texture (idk). P. S. _sourceTexture = renderingData.cameraData.renderer.cameraColorTargetHandle;

[gritty folio]

If using the Blit overload with RTHandle params, you'd probably want to allocate the RTs using RTHandles.Alloc or RenderingUtils.ReAllocateIfNeeded, rather than cmd.GetTemporaryRT

I have some examples here https://www.cyanilux.com/tutorials/custom-renderer-features/#rthandle

[lethal forge]

Okay, but this also works. Problem happens on line 35 when i want to copy back to camera texture

[prisma elbow]

hey guys, i suck at programming i don't know how to change postprocessing profile on trigger of "player", can somebody help with that?

[drowsy plank]

I have had trouble finding an outline + edge-detect post process that is really good (in URP). I went with this asset: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/shaders/fullscreen-camera-effects/clean-outline-urp-238328 but it is not perfect. It will work with MSAA but it has hard edges to the lines generally - no built in AA effect which I am sure is possible with a shader adjustment. It does work well if you apply a post-process AA effect like SMAA afterwards. ANy other recommendations welcome!

Also I wanted to apply such post process effects on a layer-basis with volumes and it almost works but because a post process like outlines extends beyond an object's drawn area you get a cut-off effect round the edge and so it fails!

[young sonnet]

Here is one from the HDRP fullscreen shader samples which i adapted to URP, see how it works

[drowsy plank]

HDRP has fullscreen shader samples? damn, does URP also have somewhere?

But doing a 3x3 filter for example is so painful in shader graph, I don't know why they don't have more components to cover such a thing

[drowsy plank]

thanks for that, how do you override the material settings?

ah you make new material because it just includes one for graph I believe... Unity is odd at times

[young sonnet]

URP has the new shader samples, not the fullscreen ones tough, you can probably get the samples from HDPR and migrate it to URP, it shouldnt be too hard

[odd drift]

Shader graph doesn't support loops for example so I'd just create my own Custom Function node for that

[drowsy plank]

Yes this is true - make a nice custom filter node - but if only they included nodes for common filters - Roberts Cross, Sobel

[odd drift]

HDRP has Sobel atleast. You should be able to convert that to URP as well if you really need to as v0lt mentioned

[drowsy plank]

ok. I had a shader I am working from for edge detection currently, but I may convert it to shader graph or adapt the one above. But seems quicker to experiment in a shader file still

Ah you can add hlsl to a custom node too right? Maybe that helps

[odd drift]

that's what Custom Function node is all about no?

[drowsy plank]

The depth detection is nice, I am struggling to get the normal edge detection working on that shader graph!

[gritty steppe]

can i bake post proccessing effects?

[grizzled sentinel]

I have a scene which is forest at night I wanted to add a moon that lights it up I made a ball and made it emit light with post prossing but how can i make that light up the area?

[mighty stump]

Fundamentally not
But if you specify what you mean by that it might be possible to point you in some direction

[mighty stump]

Post processing doesn't and cannot make anything emit light
You probably want to add a directional light that lines up with your moon

[grizzled sentinel]

ok thank you 😄

[gritty steppe]

well my screen space reflections were acting weird so I thought maybe I had to bake them or something

Idk I kinda suck at unity

[mighty stump]

Reflection probes would have to be baked but SSR like all post processing is a purely screen space effect

[gritty steppe]

Is there anyway then to make the flickering stop then?

[mighty stump]

What flickering?

[gritty steppe]

Whenever I moved in the project, whether game or thru the scene view it looked wonky and everything was flickering

The reflections were getting wonky

[mighty stump]

The wonkiness nor flicker are visible in the still image so it's hard to say much
There are a lot of SSR settings that can be tweaked, though

Also it may be important to know which render pipeline this is

[gritty steppe]

Deffered

[mighty stump]

That's a rendering path, not a render pipeline

[gritty steppe]

oh then URP

[mighty stump]

URP doesn't have screen space reflections, at least not officially

[gritty steppe]

aww

[mighty stump]

So what issues you're seeing let alone what reflections you're looking at right now is a mystery to us with this little information

But a stab in the dark you changed your render pipeline to URP and are now seeing pixel light limit being exceeded per object

[gritty steppe]

huh interesting

[chrome swallow]

in URP's renderer feature stack, RenderPassEvent.AfterRendering appears to occur BEFORE the canvas ui ugui layer assets are rendered
How do I add a render pass AFTER everything is rendered, actually everything-everything, even the canvas layer gui stuff?

[drowsy plank]

it goes main rendering, pre-post-processing, post-processing, post-post-processing, UI as far as I can see! Although some people have done after UI it may require looking at code

[autumn spindle]

What I want:
The whole game to be rendered with a post processing effect applied to it
Some special sprites that get rendered without post processing (World space UI, but I am not using the UI system. I am just using sprites)

It seemed trivial to do so by using camera stacking, but what happens is that the second camera (world space UI) removes the post processing effect from the base layer

Any idea if this is a bug? Or if I am missing some additional setting somewhere?

The expected result should be a yellow-green square with a white circle over the top of it

Unity 2022.3.5f1 URP

Ticking Stop NaNs fixed my problem

[daring shuttle]

i know screen space reflections aren't perfect but shouldn't i be able to see the desk in this puddle?

[daring shuttle]

I guess built-in pipeline screen space reflections don't work on transparent materials?

[haughty nest]

Pretty much. SSR on transparent is an option in HDRP though.

[daring shuttle]

that's lame. Is there an SSR alternative that would work with my puddle decals?

reflection probes do not line up perfectly no matter how much i try

[mighty stump]

Could make it a part of the floor material in that area

[magic robin]

Post processing is not working for me its like when i make changes it doesn’t apply

[odd drift]

Make sure you are using the post processing the right way according to the render pipeline of your choise. If you use URP for example, make sure to follow URP tutorial about post processing and not one that uses the built-in pipeline. Without more information that’s all I can tell you

[river stream]

Is it possible to generate a clone of a profile? I have the following code which technically works, in that it creates a instance of the profile with all the components (and I can change the values of those components independent of the asset it was instanced from), but the components have default values and dont reflect the profile it was instanced from, is there any way to get the values from the actual profile onto the instance? My end goal is to be able to create a copy of a profile at runtime so I can animate its values without affecting the actual asset

var profile = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<VolumeProfile>();
                profile.name = "(instance) " + someProfile.name;

                for (int i = 0; i < someProfile.components.Count; i++) { var c = profile.Add(someProfile.components[i].GetType(), overrides: true); c.active = true; }
                

[bronze mural]

Did you follow Troubleshooting link in the pins?

[hollow frigate]

nah I just realized the vignette was at 0 intensity lol

[slim jetty]

how can i make the post procesing affect the text
cuz i tried everything and it dosn't work

[bronze mural]

Post Processing is a camera space effect, so the canvas has to be in world space or in camera space to be affected.

(as opposed to default overlay that renders on top of everything separately)

[slim jetty]

you talk about Render Mode

[bronze mural]

Yes

[slim jetty]

when i change the canvas to world space or camera space it disappear

[bronze mural]

In world space camera has to actually look at the canvas. In camera space make sure it is positioned in bounds in front of it. There are tutorials for it

[slim jetty]

so one last thing what is resize canvas option exactly do on space camera

do i have to enable it or diasable it

[slim jetty]

one canvas work fine but the other one make every thing bigger

[bronze mural]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/manual/class-Canvas.html

[slim jetty]

i forget

thank you very much brother

[slim jetty]

soo guys any help bruh

so i do everything

and i changed the canvas to space camera

and the post procesing work on the text and everything

but im unable to press the buttons

[bronze mural]

Which space is that?

[slim jetty]

screen space - camera

[bronze mural]

Did you set rendering camera there?

And camera still has appropriate raycaster component

[slim jetty]

here

i am a beginner that's why

[bronze mural]

This is the relevant part https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/manual/images/UI_CanvasScreenSpaceCameraInspector.png

[bronze mural]

Right, so because it's in camera space you might need GraphicsRaycaster component on camera. Not sure about that you should test

Might be wrong about that, it could be canvas specific

[slim jetty]

to put GraphicsRaycaster on camera i have to put canvas component on camera as well

[slim jetty]

yup

[bronze mural]

Just tested it doesn't need anything additional.

You just switch to camera space, assign camera and it works

[slim jetty]

that's what im on

[bronze mural]

So if your UI not working either removed/disabled event system or button being covered by panel or text element

[slim jetty]

wait what

[slim jetty]

even when i back it to overlay space screen it doesn't work

[bronze mural]

Did you read the message you've responded to? And checked those things?

Deactivate or create a new scene, setup clean new components and test with those make sure simple setup works, then examine what you have and where it is broken.

[devout basin]

Does anyone here have a google play console developer account?

[silk vessel]

Issue with PostProcessing being reapplied for every single camera on scene, while testing i noticed the possibility of creating multiple Volumes on different layers, is this the fix?

[swift nimbus]

im using a code to update my post processing volume settings real time, and the values are increasing (in the inspector), but why dont they apply to the scene?

[honest garnet]

Why does UI camera render post processing on main camera?

[mighty stump]

Post processing affects the rendered image at that stage in the stack, not each camera individually

Meaning you can only exclude post processing by applying it before an overlay camera

[honest garnet]

oh okay..

thanks for explaining

[drowsy plank]

I have differences in post processing between DX11 and OpenGL, I think because they may handle their depth and/or normal buffers differently?

[pallid bronze]

There are 2 objects in the Scene with overlapping UV's. Please see the details list below or use the 'UV Overlap' visualisation mode in the Scene View or Lightmaps in Lighting Settings for more information.
How can i resolve this problem?

[mighty stump]

Did you find any info by searching about lightmap uv overlap?

#archived-lighting next time

[pallid bronze]

I am not able to find the right thing on the internet, i tried changing some settings so i changed the recieve global illumination from lightmap to light probes and it worked. I'm beginner so idk how it worked. It just did

[past sonnet]

Can someone help me? I am trying to add post processing to my game, I put the post processing layer and onto the camera and used a profile I made, but it won't show. I made sure the camera has a unique layer along with the post processing layer to say that unique layer, but it won't show in the game. Normally i would go to the camera and click post processing, but it won't show because I don't have urp on it. How do I fix this?

[mighty stump]

URP is not on your camera, it's in your project, if it is at all
See the pinned messages for step by step instructions

You must pick the correct instructions for the render pipeline your project actually uses

[past sonnet]

Thank you

[glossy garden]

Hey guys; quick question, why does rendering with the post processing stack onto an "empty spot" (theres nothing to render in that spot, like for example there's meant to be a background thing) just make it freak out?

Just realized i kinda probably don't want my Editor tool to flashbang people 😭

[untold halo]

Hey anyone got some good starter resource on the URP render feature and writing your own post processing with that?

[mighty stump]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@17.0/manual/post-processing/custom-post-processing.html
The documentation is decent

[untold halo]

Cheers, I'll check it out!

[proper sinew]

guys idk if its the correct place for this but

[green siren]

Guys why the post process volume component doesn't affect my scene 💔

https://learn.unity.com/project/john-lemon-s-haunted-jaunt-3d-beginner
I did the same steps here but I don't see results noting changes

[proper sinew]

heyy

[bronze mural]

@proper sinew Why didn't you actually post your question here?

[proper sinew]

oh wait

oops i was posting it to both locations since these channels arent active

[bronze mural]

There's no such thing. This is discord. And there's no cross-posting either. So post in the appropriate channel and remove in the other

[proper sinew]

ok sorry

[bronze mural]

And to your question. Post processing is a camera space effect. If you want different effect processed for another layer you need to setup another camera. There are guides how to do that pinned in this channel.

(Pick a render pipeline there)

[jaunty elbow]

hey guys i wanna create a game where the visuals are similiar to fall guys. notice how the mesh shines and looks kinda like a wet chewy bubblegum?? or more like a shiny colorful assets ? well how to create it?? i want my assets to look just like how fall guys assets are made.

[viscid tide]

When adding emissions or bloom effects, don't those effects only work if the environment around them is suddenly darker?

could I create a bloom/glow effect that just...glows when I want it too regarldess of the light around it?

[hidden steppe]

the asset itself has nothing to do with it just play with the material, the smoothness...

[mighty stump]

I'm still a bit mystified by this question
Bloom doesn't consider contrast, only the brightness of each pixel

Have you run into issues implementing bloom, or is this just a hypothetical

My best guess too
If it's HDRP, there's also exposure-independent emission weight
But as you say it'd be important to understand the process first

[devout sandal]

Anyone know how to apply post-processing effects (bloom for example) to only objects that are on a specific layer, using URP? Having multiple cameras with different post-processing works fine except that the effects that I want to only apply to specific layers apply to everything.

[mighty stump]

There isn't a way to do that exactly

[devout sandal]

Yeah I tried a bunch and it seems it doesn't work with URP.

[mighty stump]

Post processing is always per-camera

And in the camera stack each camera sees the image of the cameras that render before it

[devout sandal]

yeah

[weary basin]

How do you set up postprocessing for a multi-camera scene? I'm working on a mod for KSP which uses several cameras:

• skybox
• distant planets
• local objects
• internal spaces
  Each of those is drawn on top of each other. I can assign postprocess settings to each, but some things like color grading and temporal antialiasing seem to get duplicated if they're on multiple cameras. Any ideas?

(oh hey looks like recent discussion is along the same lines, I'll start reading...)

and KSP uses the builtin render pipeline

is Camera.main treated specially in the postprocessing stack?

[weary basin]

I think what I'm looking for is:
given a set of postprocessing settings, which ones need to be applied to all cameras and which ones should only be applied to the last camera?

[mortal drift]

Is it possible to implement in cinemachine to apply post processing to specific items rather than everything being rendered? I have a stacked camera system that does this--main cam renders normally and an effects cam that renders the effects with bloom.

You can accomplish having only certain cameras get postprocessing applied with Unity's normal camera system and having the additional cameras be stacked cameras. I'm wondering since I believe cinemachine only sets one virtual camera active at once if that would remove the ability to have only certain things be affected by post processing. I want certain VFX to receive that pp, but not the regular game.

[mighty stump]

Cinemachine doesn't interact with post processing, it moves real cameras

[mortal drift]

so I should be able to tack on a cinemachine camera component to my camera with stacked cameras and PP will work as before?

/remain unaffected

[mighty stump]

Yes, assuming your overlay cameras aren't loose in the scene
Cinemachine controls the one with the Brain component, but overlay cameras can be parented under it

[dreamy loom]

is there a way to fix this pixelated effect on the edges of my objects

Im using SMAA, is that why

[odd drift]

SMAA is fine but you could try different anti-aliasing methods such as MSAA and FXAA

[mighty stump]

It looks like the AA there is working on the geometry against the sky, but not against other geometry
I'm fairly sure it's not intended to do that

[dreamy loom]

yeah it worked on the sky perfectly

[dreamy loom]

i tried temporal and it solved most of the issues

[odd drift]

SMAA should pick those up as well so I don’t really know why there was the problem to begin with

[untold steeple]

Does anybody know how I can blur UI elements using depth of field?

[mighty stump]

UI would have to be opaque and in world space or screen space - camera, but afaik by default there are no UI shaders that support opaque rendering nor opaque shaders that support UI rendering

[sand ivy]

I accidentally removed your last message while removing spam

[hard glacier]

any package i get the textures don t load

i only get purple props

[sand ivy]

@hard glacier Are you on URP or HDRP? This asset seems old enough that it probably doesn't support anything other than built-in render pipeline.

[hard glacier]

im on urp

how can i deactivate it

can i make a 3d project without urp

[sand ivy]

Materials that use included shaders can automatically be converted to URP/HDRP by selecting the materials and going to Edit -> Rendering -> Materials -> Convert

Materials not using included shaders can't be automatically converted.
You can make a project using built-in render pipeline.

[hard glacier]

any idea what s this error?

i solved it

[wide stratus]

ok-- is there a reason why my post processing stuff only works on my UI camera? It won't work on my main camera, it'll only work if I add the default layer to my UI camera's volume mask and enable post processing there

I don't want any post processing on my UI camera even

when i inccrease the order layer of my main camera, it works, but then UI camera disappears

It's behaving like the UI camera is rendering stuff the main camera is rendering, but it's not

I can still see the post processing working from scene view, but with the main camera below the UI layer in game view order-wise there is no post processing

so it appears I fixed this by setting ui camera to overlay and adding it to the main camera' stack. only thing is now the colors of my post processing get all weird and discolored when I do that

[plain adder]

i want to add bloom to a particular gameobject in 2D game if i set post processing to global it is working but applying on whole scene for particular gameobject tried that same layer too.. but nah its not working for me anyone can help?

or any other sorta things what i really wnat is a dynamically moving glow onto boundary of wall thats it..if it can do any other way then suggest ..What i have tried shader,materials combo then even tried lights which just stucked inside gameobejct not like what i wanna do with them ...

[mighty stump]

As I pointed before, post processing is not added to any individual object
The layers determine which cameras the volume affects

If a material supports HDR color (such as custom shaders, but not the default sprite shaders), you can leverage bloom Threshold to only glow only with high HDR intensities

That's the only way to do it "per object"

[remote sinew]

Can someone help me with screen spaced reflections? I have a post processing volume and a post processing layer on my main camera. Other effects work like Chromatic aberration but the screen spaced reflections dont. Am i doing something wrong?

[mighty stump]

With which render pipeline?

[remote sinew]

I think the default. I just started a 3d project and im new to unity

Also motion blur is not working too

[mighty stump]

I'm rusty on the built in render pipeline but those post processing effects require features like g-buffer and motion vectors

They may need to be separately enabled in graphics or quality settings

[remote sinew]

Should i use URP?

[mighty stump]

I always prefer it since it's so much easier to optimize
But it doesn't officially support SSR so that can be a drawback in your case

[remote sinew]

What is the easiest way to get ssr?

[mighty stump]

It should just work with BiRP as long as whatever graphical settings it requires are ticked on

[remote sinew]

What is BiRP? I have only heard about hrdp and urp...

[mighty stump]

Built-in render pipeline, so the default one if you don't have any of the scriptable render pipelines

It does just work in HDRP, but setting up HDRP itself can be trickier than only setting up SSR for BiRP

There's paid assets that do it for URP that usually try to make the experience smooth and give clear instructions

[remote sinew]

Can you help me set it up in BiRP?

[mighty stump]

Since you must be using the Post Processing Stack v2, you would look at its docs on page for SSR, then see if it gives you specific instructions or lists requirements

When testing you should have meshes with Standard material in the scene with varying smoothnesses, since SSR by default is set to ignore materials beyond or below a certain smoothness threshold

It also requires hardware that's g-buffer capable but that's not often a problem

That's roughly all I remember about it

[remote sinew]

I cant find the docs. Can you provide a link?

[mighty stump]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.postprocessing@3.4/manual/Screen-Space-Reflections.html

[remote sinew]

This does not provide instructions on how to setup ssr :(. All the yt vids just show using ssr as a post processing effect and it works for them but not for me.

[mighty stump]

Pay special attention to the requirements

For example "deferred rendering path"
The default rendering path is forward

[remote sinew]

I give up... This is too confusing. I just started unity. Anyways. Thanks for the help

[shy field]

Hey did you ever figure that out?

[mighty stump]

Post processing systems use layers to determine which cameras they affect

[shy field]

Could you explain further? How do i get the post processing on the render texture?

[unreal pine]

hey, I just added a local volume to each camera that needed it

and I believe you have to change the color format, I don't remember to which one though

[candid crystal]

Hey! I posted in another channel but i think its actually this one where i should post...

Hello everyone, before I added a background video, my circles could glow (first image), but right after adding the background video, the glow disappears (second photo shows that if i lower the alpha, the glow can be seen there)

[severe slate]

damn how did you design this? that looks awesome

[candid crystal]

Design what sorry? ^^

[severe slate]

the background

[candid crystal]

ah.. its an image from pinterest lol

its indeed beautiful

[severe slate]

ah okay

thought u made it

[candid crystal]

im a programmer not designer hahahha

[rocky hearth]

Are there any free outline scripts which are able to outline particle trails?

[hidden dagger]

I feel you @candid crystal "Programmer not designer"

[obtuse kraken]

You'd need to make an outline shader for the trail renderer

[lusty willow]

Hi guys,
MotionBlur is only blurring with camera rotation, not translation.
Has anyone encountered this before, and know of a fix?
I debugged the shader "Hidden/HDRP/CameraMotionVectors" and can see that translation is not registered.

[torn minnow]

Hi, I am having a problem while using Post-processing to the camera.
I try to add blur to the background, But either it work on everything on the camera or on nothing.

[wanton finch]

does the order of the overrides in the list matters?

[tacit pewter]

No

However the checkbox matter
