Hi guys, has anyone tried Beautify on the asset store? anyone know if it's any good?
rugged wind
@severe slate I got Beautify2, it's really neat
severe slate
@rugged wind cool, i'm using HDRP so will have to use the other one, I might ask if they are releasing a HDRP2 version, and wait for that if they are, i'm looking for something to give my game that cinematic feel, the textures are gorgeous but theres no color correction or ambience to it, and i'll probably arse it up if I do it myself lol
rugged wind
yeah it offers a great control in terms of what you can do, wait let me pick up an example from my project
without
with
it has a bunch of features but I mostly use the color tweaking bloom and sharpen
the main advantage I saw from Beautify2 compared to the base one is that it can be used as a post processing effect with the stack
severe slate
wow, thats awesome
severe slate
@worthy rapids I think that's Anti alising, if not then it's probably an effect with pixel sizes
worthy rapids
could be an anti-aliasing yes but after some search, i noticed that some old TV have this blur effect due to the lens that is not crystal clear, which it's what i will try to achieve it
unfortunately, i have no idea how to create a custom post processing since all i found is how to add the already made effect in the post processing list π
hence why i'm asking here
severe slate
wont screen space reflections work in HDRP?

click the white box next to shutter angle for example
it will get enabled once clicked on it

Hello everyone,,,does anyone here know how to work with the new particle system?
sterile iron
@lucid otter just seen your post from yesterday. It looks like the bounds of the particle system is not as big as the area that the partciles are acualty in. This will cause the particles not to be renderd if you cant see the setuped bounding box for it
lucid otter
@sterile iron My man thank you for your knowledge.. Do you have a second to tell me how to fix it? I tried scaling it but I don't think that's the proper way to go about it?
sterile iron
If you edit the VFX asset, inside the Initialuze Particle Block you have a property called Bounds that you can expand.
There you have to set the box to the size of your particle efftect

Hey! Does anyone know how to apply post processing to a Canvas?
novel wasp
Anyone know how to store/access previous rendered frame with HDRP, so that it would have post-processing applied. I'd imagine it would be possible to blit that to a RT, and somehow use it during next frame but haven't been able to figure it out yet.
sterile iron
@severe slate You would have to use the Screen Space Camera mode of the canvas and have the postporcessig on that camera specified in the canvas settings

@severe slate let my know if you finishing your game π
severe slate

sterile iron
@novel wasp currently with the HDP there is no "Easy" way to get the old events like OnRenderImage. My best bett is that you would need to create a simple post effect at the end of the effects cain that blitts the final result into a rendertexture that you have created.
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.high-definition@7.1/manual/Custom-Post-Process.html
maybe somone out there has allredy done this but i did not find anyting in my quick search.
novel wasp
yeah well I've been doing hundreds of searches and done a few attempts myself... no luck yet. There's a function to get previous frame's color pyramid if I'm not mistaken, tried it a few days ago, but it doesn't contain post-processed image.
frustrating to just do guesswork and read the source code. Not to mention the wasted time.
I guess I'll go through the temporal filter related code in HDRP later tonight.

If i'm not mistaken, post processing stack is a component included in pp package, also pp should be builtin in Unity and you just have to install it via package manager, no need to care about asset store

HDRP has PP that's closest to what Unreal uses, but it's impossible to recommend anything here as we don't know what you are looking to accomplish here
feral ore
Can someone please, PLEASE help me understand why this isn't working:
// Init
private PostProcessVolume effectsPPV;
private AmbientOcclusion ambientOcclusionLayer;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start() {
ambientOcclusionLayer = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<AmbientOcclusion>();
ambientOcclusionLayer.enabled.Override(true);
ambientOcclusionLayer.intensity.Override(1.0f);
effectsPPV = PostProcessManager.instance.QuickVolume(gameObject.layer, 100.0f, ambientOcclusionLayer);
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update() {
ambientOcclusionLayer.intensity.value = 1;
}
}```I've been working on this for like 2 hours now and I'm going a little insane
I don't know what I'm doing wrong
cobalt wing
I dunno, that's pretty straight for the PP scripting docs
does your PP volume work otherwise?
feral ore
Outside of the script yes, I just haven't been able to get anything in the script to work
This is my first time using post processing in script so I'm sorry if I'm missing something crucial
This script is on my game object that's on my post processing layer, that has the volume, and my camera has the post processing layer
cobalt wing
that sample snippet on the docs it bit weird though
usually you'd try to get the ref to PP volume and then try to get settings to get the layer you need and from there you'd manipulate it
feral ore
?
cobalt wing
I've done it in past more like in the answer here: https://answers.unity.com/questions/1355103/modifying-the-new-post-processing-stack-through-co.html
hmmm, some say that don't work on ppv2 anymore π

Haha I've visited this forum already and couldn't get it to work
cobalt wing
it's been ages since I've used ppv2 myself
feral ore
I did get an error about not assigning a game object to ChromaticAbberation when I used that though, now I get no errors but it still doesn't work
cobalt wing
I dunno which one you actually want to mod
your script tries to alter ambientOcclusion but class name is ChromaticAbberationManager
feral ore
I keep mixing the damned two up
That may be my problem hold up
God damn it
That was it
Well
Thanks
cobalt wing
np
feral ore
I feel like dying a little now
cobalt wing
you had the wrong component?
feral ore
The script creates a new component for the effect it would seem, but in the game I'm making I couldn't see the ambient occlusion so it was hard to tell what was wrong
So it was applying ambient occlusion when i wanted chromatic abberation and I couldn't tell
I'm going to go program some more and cry a little, thanks again

@severe slate that scene only looks bad because there isn't anything IN IT yet. Large rock meshes for the cliffs, foliage, decorations, assume sort of focal point to draw attention would all help

To be fair, the lighting is awfully low in that scene
Which in my opinion makes it look kind of bad

- Post Processing
- Better lighting settings

- Water (if terrain is resembling an island)
- Texture variations (more than 2 textures)

Hi, I was hoping I could get some help with setting up Bloom. I'm trying to use it primarily for VFX. The idea is that it wouldn't be noticeable, but if we crank the brightness above 1 in our VFX we'll get a Bloom. Kinda in the same way Unreal behaves.
I got it all set up and working as far as the profile goes and attaching to camera. The effect is visible. In our particle shader we have an overbright value passed via a custom vertex stream that then gets multiplied over the final color. The behavior I was expecting is the bloom would get more intense as we crank this value up. But instead it just turns the particles white and doesn't affect the bloom at all
Is there some extra step that I need to do in order to get that behavior?

Hey! After making an atlas texture and exporting to unity from Blender, I noticed that I couldnt use bloom.

First time using Unity here

and the settings for SSR are greyed out in my post processing volume
little frustrating, cause I'm on a relatively tight deadline
Anyone got any ideas?

Hello there,
I've come to this discord because I have a problem with post processing I can't manage to solve. The problem is with ambient occlusion and more specificly with multi-scale volumetric obscurance.
When I move the camera it kind of glitters and blinks a little bit and there is a dark strip on the right and on the top.
I've created a new scene and bumped the intensity to make it more obvious
severe slate
When you do post-processing in a world you want to build and run, do you delete the Main Camera?
I did a test build with Post Processing Layer and Volume - it works in Unity and in testing, but when I build & test in-game I don't see any bloom?
potent crag
@severe slate depends, on the picture it is just the default camera from when you create a new scene with a post processing layer added on it, but in my game scenes there is no camera at first, I add it when the player joins
it's kinda weird, it's not just one stripe, there are multiple ones one the top and right side of the screen
And if I move the camera the ambient occlusion flashes
severe slate

Probably some empty rectangle slots on a game object or nulls in two scripts are empty but do not have an object to show on. A slot or two/coding is unchecked.

For that one, it says Ambient Occlusion and below that it says Post Process Layer. They have an empty rectangle each set to null. You have to fill that in with what matches. Probably in the Project Settings or the post-process layer stack. (I have no idea if that is the right direction.)

To my understanding, if I want the same post-processing effect more than once simultaneously (e.g. two different vignettes), then I need another camera (which has another Post-Processing Layer). In other words, if I want to have 8 different vignettes simultaneously, I need 8 cameras?

@inner light or you can modify the postprocessing / rendering pipline to call the effect multible times
this is not the "standart" way of doing it
inner light
@inner light or you can modify the postprocessing / rendering pipline to call the effect multible times
@sterile iron Do you have pointers on how I could do that? or docs?
And what do you mean "standard" way of doing it, are you referring to multiple cameras or modifying the rendering pipeline?
I've resorted to 4 cameras on my scene π¦
lethal musk
4 cameras sounds like a very slow way of accomplishing it. If you can't stack multiple of the same effects from PPv2, perhaps you can just add custom full-screen passes
inner light
@lethal musk okay I will take a look. I'll do some tutorials about these passes and rendering pipelines, as this sounds like something outside of my knowledge. I only made a couple of shaders that I applied to a camera or material.

Hey guys, I'm wanting to have my material effects only visible in darker areas of a shadow for example, is that at all possible in a post processing effect or should I be looking in shaders..?
using light values as a mask I guess you could say
open totem
I'm trying to do screen-space dithering for objects that get too close to the camera, I'm trying to find a way to do this without creating N materials for each item that's going to be dithered
In the past I did a highlight/outline effect in PP which used command buffers and monobehaviours to tag the items I wanted highlighted
I though I could re-use the same approach for my current problem
One solution would be rendering an item twice (once with the dither mask, then with its actual material) but that would then result in 3 draw calls for each item
lean gyro
I got 2d sprite shadowcasting working, but even with my sprites planted on the ground, there's a cut out portion of the shadow. dropped bias to 0 and it helped a little, but the gap is still huge. i'm starting to think this is either a limitation of unity itself or I'm going to have to use a different custom solution...
buoyant galleon
@open totem Wouldn't be PP because by the time you get to postprocessing it there wouldn't be data for the postprocessing shader to know what's behind the object in between the dither points. Would be an object shader, something simple I'd imagine, like an if statement or lerp to transparent-ize each pixel as it gets closer to the camera
IE: GTA dithers their faraway trees to only have to calculate 50% of their surface lighting, then in PP, after the object has been dithered, they re-blur them together
buoyant galleon
In case any Unity guys read this who also work on the PostProcessing system, why even make a PostProcessing interface like this
And then have the sole variable in it not do what it says it should do? If I disable the postprocess in the volume profile, IsActive still returns true...
marsh frigate
It looks like you want active instead?
Looking at the implementations IsActive seems to be for whether or not it's valid to be Active or not
like if you look at the implementations of the components
https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/Graphics/tree/master/com.unity.render-pipelines.high-definition/Runtime/PostProcessing/Components
you can see that IsActive is implemented as "are the values set on the component such that the effect does not need to be rendered?"
The name could be nicer, definitely.
buoyant galleon
Yeah both of them don't work when you disable the actual component itself lol
truly a feat of design, creating two "active" variables that don't actually return when something's active π
(understanding that the interface one is one you're meant to implement yourself, which I have done also, but still)

All default presets produce the same noise.

ah, that's pretty far from what you described here, I thought you couldn't get any results at all but blobby black noise with any AO intensity above 0
are you 100% sure thats from AO?

Yeah. When I override intensity to 0 it goes away.

heyo! I'm trying to make a custom Post process effect using URP, I already made the VolumeComponent and VolumeComponentEditor for it based on the standard Bloom effect, they work, I can add the effect to the stack, but I have no idea how I'm supposed to render the effect itself, what type of class I need to put the logic into for unity to register, can someone point me somewhere, even a directory path would be nice where I can find where unity did it for one of it's effects π thanks in advance!

@quaint wagon I think that as long as the effect is global and your camera is properly set up it will automatically use the effects
quaint wagon
but... there is no effect to begin with
it's just a label currently
no logic behind it
where is the "Render loop" for VolumeComponent is my question
(this basically)
I made the label for the SSGI effect

pulsar marlin
Apologies if this has been asked before, but using HDRP what's the recommended way to separate post processing configuration between my rendered scene and my UI?
Like, say I wanted chromatic aberration only applied to my UI, and bloom to only be applied to my rendered scene. Not sure if I should ask in here, #π²βui-ux, or #archived-hdrp, haha.
buoyant galleon
Ahhh the good ol' days when a postprocessing effect was 10 lines of code in a camera component and a pixel shader
HDRP: No
URP: No
Legacy: Not inbuilt into the PP stack buy likely to find an asset that has been updated to work on PPv2 legacy renderer that has this effect
cobalt wing
The custom hdrp pp passes I've made hasnt really required that much extra effort
But it must totally depend on the effect you are after
buoyant galleon
Have you made any with multiple rendertextures used in the one final pass @cobalt wing? Been struggling with that myself, shader never seems to actually get the correct textures into it

lucid lagoon
post processing volumes might not work in URP, not sure
bronze mural
second link in the pins for the URP
bronze mural
are you using URP?
weak trench
Yes
bronze mural
Did you actually read the instruction? You need to use another component
weak trench
I have a PP Layer and a PP Volume
I've made sure they are all on the same layer that isn't Default
I've made sure it's Global
I've set the camera itself as the trigger
bronze mural
weak trench
I've made sure that the camera Rendering settings have Post Processing checked
This talks about HDRP?
Not URP?
And as I said earlier, I used the PP volume and have attached it to the camera that uses it. The documentation does not state it is necessary to put it on a separate object, only that it is considered good practice.
So what else could I be missing?
gritty folio
URP uses the same volume system. There are URP specific pages here but they are basically the same : https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@8.1/manual/Volumes.html
This is using a "Volume" script, not the PP volume + PP Layer which is from the Post Processing package (ppv2).
weak trench
Yes, but then what is the point of the PP Volume?
gritty folio
PPv2 isn't compatible with most versions of URP, it's for the built-in pipeline
weak trench
I wonder then why I'm allowed to use it with URP
And get no errors anywhere
So okay, I have to use a volume then? Which isn't PP`?
weak trench
I did
gritty folio
Yeah, script called "Volume", not the Post-process one. You can uninstall the Post Processing package to remove those
weak trench
Then I am truly confused about URP and HDRP
frank pendant
Try instead creating an empty game object and add the volume there maybe
weak trench
But okay, I guess that explains why it doesn't work...
frank pendant
Wait
frank pendant
Are you using URP?
PP Stack doesnt work with URP
Only the one that comes in with the URP template
weak trench
@gritty folio Is it stated anywhere officially that URP and PPv2 does not work together?
frank pendant
Yeah
gritty folio
The URP docs mention it
frank pendant
In camera add component Volume
gritty folio
some versions do support PPv2, but others do not
frank pendant
I not sure if it says it doesnt work but it says it has to use the one that is integrated with URP
gritty folio
For 8.0, "URP is not compatible with the post-processing version 2 package."
7.2 to 7.4? might work with PPv2, as it states "Both post-processing solutions will be supported in the versions of URP that are compatible with Unity 2019.4 LTS. From Unity 2020.1, only the integrated solution will be supported".
weak trench
So I am using 7.3.1 and now I am extra confused
The Universal Render Pipeline (URP) contains its own integrated post-processing solution. This version of URP also supports the Post Processing Version 2 (PPV2) package, for backwards compatibility with existing Projects.
ALSO SUPPORTS
frank pendant
what version of unity are you using?
weak trench
2019.3.11f1
frank pendant
Ay me too
weak trench
Well, technically 2019.3.0f6
frank pendant
But I dont think it works
weak trench
I just tried to upgrade to see if it fixed the problem
frank pendant
And it doesnt have AO
weak trench
Great so, even if I had read that line it would appear that the documentation is wrong.
gritty folio
It mentions 2019.4 LTS but I don't know if that's necessary. It's possible there's another setting somewhere to properly enable it, not sure
frank pendant
I dont think it is possible
frank pendant
When I look for info about AO for URP, no one mentions the PP Stack
And the only solution would be HBAO
gritty folio
Gunna quickly install ppv2 and see if I can get it working
frank pendant
I thought this was common knowledge
gritty folio
If you ever plan on updating it would be better to use URP's integrated solution though
weak trench
It would appear so, yes. But just makes me question really hard how PPV2 and the RPs are working together, or rather are not.
frank pendant
The render pipelines have their own post processing solutions
weak trench
In the package info it should just state in big bold letters
"DOES NOT WORK WITH ALL VERSIONS OF URP"
frank pendant
If it works that would be cool, because AO doesnt work for URP unless you use HBAO
Why dont you use the normal render pipeline then?
If you want to use the PP stack
weak trench
Because I thought the URP was required to use it
And now that every material has been "upgraded" to the URP
It's a one-way ticket so
No going back now
frank pendant
Oh ok
weak trench
(which is kind of a big problem with the RPs)
But one could hope they make a method that turns all mats back to "standard" or whatever
gritty folio
Right, there's a option on the URP Asset
bronze mural
You probably need to update, you are using very low minor version, it wasn't supported then.
bronze mural
Unity
weak trench
Not much of a solution if you are using a version to make your game.
But I guess I'll consider it.
bronze mural
It will show only compatible packages at the time. You usually need to update Unity to get updated packages.
frank pendant
@gritty folio What version of unity are you using there?
gritty folio
2019.3.3f1, URP 7.3.1, (and PPv2 2.3.0 if that matters)
weak trench
I use 2019.3.0f6 and tried 2019.3.11f1
None of them had those options you had there for post processing
gritty folio
The option is also only there if the Post-processing Package is installed
weak trench
Not sure what to say. As you could see from the picture, it wasn't there Β―_(γ)_/Β―
gritty folio
Idk why it's not there then, but I'd still use the integrated solution anyway.
weak trench
Well it seems that I am forced to, so I will
gritty folio
Otherwise you could switch back to built-in if you aren't using any features that URP provides, but as you mentioned there's no easy way to un-upgrade the materials. You'd have to switch all the shaders back manually.
weak trench
Yeah and there are quite a few materials π
gritty folio
In the future, it's usually a good idea to back up projects before installing packages/upgrading packages, etc.
weak trench
I mean, hindsight is always 20/20 right?
gritty folio
Indeed, but you can also learn from mistakes so it doesn't happen again.
weak trench
To be fair here, the Unity documentation on Render Pipelines and the stack does not seem especially crystal clear...
gritty folio
Agreed
weak trench
Especially because it seems like they come together
As a "you could use both together for cool stuff"
and then it turns out that PPv2 is just for the SRP and some times it works for URP but really you shouldn't use it because built-in system works, but then you have HDRP where the stack can be used?
gritty folio
I'm not too familiar with HDRP but it has it's own integrated volume system too, it doesn't use PPv2 afaik
But I understand what you are saying, since the Package Manager doesn't give any indication of whether something is compatible with URP/HDRP or not.
weak trench
The problem with the Package Manager in general is that every package is more or less self-contained
frank pendant
You guys know whats the difference between Low Dynamic Range and High Dynamic Range?
weak trench
Separate solutions with basically no harmony
gritty folio
@frank pendant LDR uses colour values between 0 and 1, while HDR can be outside that range.
weak trench
HDR is like for realism and LDR is for low yeah?
frank pendant
I just switched to LDR and the scene looks so good
Maybe it is just more appropriate for the scene i guess
weak trench
If you aren't aiming for realism then just go with LDR
frank pendant
The neon effect looks better
weak trench
Seems like right picture has more bloom
frank pendant
Its the same
gritty folio
You could probably achieve a similar effect in HDR by adjusting the Bloom threshold
frank pendant
I just switched to LDR
Yeah but everything would have bloom
I just think it looks better I guess
I dont see any performance improvement or anything

Thanks @lethal musk My setup seems different (URP) and I get a different menu. I mean there is a LUT input in 'Color Input' in my menu so I guess it goes there but I always get weird colors even with a default LUT texture.

I am not entirely sure where to post this, but this looks close enough.
I am doing the classic "put render texture on a camera to capture its view." For demonstration purposes, I put the same render texture on a Raw Image ona canvas.
Without post-processing, it all works as expected.
But with post-processing, I seem to only get the emission.

blissful narwhal
I'm currently using LWRP 7.4.1 and am I trying to get some PostProcessing going but I cant get it to work. This is attached to my main camera (the only one)
https://gyazo.com/6e6a980b2858d37af943ac70fe40fd0a
And as you can see, I'm using pretty extreme settings but they have zero effects on what the game looks like
I don't know if it matters, but I'm using virtual cameras and also tried attaching the Cinemachine Post Processing Component without any luck
gritty folio
@blissful narwhal LWRP (aka URP) has it's own integrated post processing solution using a script called just "Volume". The Post-process Layer & Post-process Volume is a part of the Post Processing package (PPv2). some versions of LWRP/URP support PPv2, but in the future it won't be compatible so if you can, use the integrated one instead.
If you still want to use PPv2 though there should be a "Feature Set" option on the pipeline settings asset to switch (If it's not there, it's probably a version of unity or lwrp/up that doesn't support ppv2).
There's also a tickbox on the camera to enable Post Processing.
blissful narwhal
Oh sorry, I didn't see that answer, I will try that out and let you know if it worked asap. Thanks
blissful narwhal
@gritty folio well, it somehow works but somehow doesn't. In scene view I can see some of the effects (depth for example doesn't work) but in game view it doesn't have any effect at all. Is there also a Post-Processing layer alternative I'm missing?
gritty folio
If you're using the integrated "Volume" system now, then it's already built-in to the camera. There's a "Post Processing" tickbox on the Camera that needs enabling in order to see it in the game view though. I think there might be a volume layer mask (under an "environment" heading on the camera if I recall correctly), but it's probably already set to all layers.
@blissful narwhal ^
It's also possible the depth of field effect might need the Depth Texture option on the pipeline asset enabled too - I think it should force the camera to have it enabled anyway though.
blissful narwhal
Damn, I really did miss that. Thanks a lot, man, it's working now π
frosty bluff
Has anyone successfully captured an image (preferably in real-time) from a camera with post effects?
The right head is just a model.
The left head is another camera, with the same settings as the main camera, just pointing to a render texture, and rendered on the left side via Raw Image UI.
Notice that the left head appears to only capture brightness, an darkness is converted into alpha.
The cube just shows that the render texture is indeed semi-transparent.

Are there any resources to make post processing look good for stylized games(toon shaded)? Using ACES results in losing a lot of that colorfulness.
I'm using URP.
buoyant galleon
Does your toon shaded game even need HDR? If not, then you don't need a tonemapper at all
sacred dove
I'm making some tron style scenes, wireframe 3D graphics with lots of emissive particles and lines, beyond bloom, what other post processing effects would enhance the look of this aesthetic ???

@buoyant galleon Well the only post processing effect I really use is bloom. But I've seen some cell shaded(anime style) games use tonemapping and they look good.

Hey guys!
Anyone using custom rendering features and post processing together? If I enable postProcessing under my camera settings it disables the custom rendering feature i created..
buoyant galleon
@wind tendon Tonemapping doesn't 'improve' a games look, it's not meant to be color correction or really change how your game looks at all. All tonemapping does is push your histogram into a tighter, SDR space, so that if it's a super large (HDR) histogram (ie. if you have SUPER bright HDR objects, like reflective metal) in your scene, tonemapping will make what would've looked like pure clipped white look like actual colour.
So, if your game does not need the above (I am not aware of physically correct light preserving toon shaders, but correct me if they do exist) then you don't need tonemapping, and a colour correction LUT is a better idea.

What could be the reason for PostProcessing V2 spamming this error whenever I try to use it in Scene view in 2019.4? This was never an issue in 2019.2:
The error goes away if I go to my camera and manually disable and enable Unity postprocessing component, which implies it fails to initialize itself correctly but manages to do so on second OnEnable triggered by that turning on and off

Anyone already had a NaN problem when using Volumetric fog ?
idle snow
turns out it's when i enable the "Filter" option on my volumetric fog (this option blur the light in the fog to limit on ugly effect you get without)
but i've no idea why it does that...
i even have the issue with a new empty scene where i only add a volume with volumetric fog and filter enabled :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts2F2SxeRSY >> It looks like it's done differently now. I'm confused because I don't see anything written about this online.
I tried with a standard 3D and HDRP project and I guess it just doesn't exist in V2. You have to assign it through a processing layer.
cobalt wing
@quaint matrix HDRP doesn't use PPv2
HDRP has it's own internal PP, for HDRP you'd not use "PostProcessing Volumes" but "Volumes" to add your effects, also layering is built-in
mossy mulch
what's PostProcessingData (in URP), and why would I want to create more than one of them?
I thought I needed one for each camera stack.
But... I see no differences.
cobalt wing
Modify existing effect to work that way?
I havent checked the code but they probably have just multiply somewhere at the end of shader to dim it. Could use this multiplier to drive lerp between white color and scene color
Could also make that white color a property instead so you could just set it to whatever you want
Oh they have color exposed already

Using HDRP, is it possible to apply a built-in Post Process effect (such as Depth of Field or Bloom) only on objects that are associated to a specific Layer?
sonic torrent
@autumn geyser It is possible in Unity by applying a volume to another camera and layering the output. I cant remember if camera layering is allowed in HDRP, unfortunately
buoyant galleon
Doesn't look like an opaque shader haha @thick furnace , does it happen when not using postpro? Only thing I can think of is one postpro script accidentally setting alpha to some weird value somewhere, IIRC one of the really old AA effects used to do that
warm parrot
autumn geyser
@autumn geyser It is possible in Unity by applying a volume to another camera and layering the output. I cant remember if camera layering is allowed in HDRP, unfortunately
@sonic torrent Thanks, I was able to get camera layering working but not the Post Processing. You can set up Camera Layering on the Camera component's Output settings. Cameras are rendered and layered from lowest depth to highest depth. have two Cameras (Regular Camera and Post Process Camera). I tried two approaches. Neither worked unfortunately. It seems that some Post Process effects (Exposure) are correctly applied when cameras are layered, but other effects (Depth of Field) are incorrectly not applied at all if Post FX Camera is layered below, or applied to the final rendered image if Post FX Camera is layered above. I suspect it's due to implementation of the specific post effect itself (accessing Depth Buffer?). May need to find (or write) a custom render pass to handle those effects that do not work correctly.
blazing hedge
Are you sure that's bloom? Could be atmospheric scattering or volumetric lighting.
blazing hedge
Or just Sky Exposure + Bloom.
That's most likely what that is. You can increase the sky exposure in HDRI Sky PP Volume. Then just enable bloom.

does anyone know how i can create this dithering as a post process effect in urp? the only thing i could find was a black pixel checkerbox dither which looked awful

i found a shadergraph one which puts dithering over the screen but i can't figure out how to reduce the strength
rich wigeon
In the URP package if you go to project settings there is a variable that changes the strength @severe slate
severe slate
eh?
in the UniversalRenderPipelineAsset_Renderer?
o wait you said project settings
which section? i don't see it
i have the effect here, the one i tried that was an override in the global volume was ugly
and the strength didn't do anything

it just made every second pixel black without overlaying like in photoshop or anything, looked nothing like ps1 games

went into the Dithering.shader from that and theres a float for ditherstrength that doesnt have any other mentions in the code so seems like it's just a slider that does nothing

@blissful cedar Check that the Post Processing option on the camera is enabled. I'd also check the Volume Mask (under the Environment heading on the camera) includes the layer that your volume is on ("Player", or switch it to a different one).
blissful cedar
how can I access the post processing via script?
let's say, adding DoF while doing something
brave meteor
I'm currently trying to set up URP in a 2.5D workflow. I cannot for the life of me get Depth of Field working. There are objects in my scene that refuse to come into focus.
brave meteor
Here is the strange behavior along with the ship's sprite settings.
brave meteor
I believe I figured it out. DoF completely relies on MeshFilters and MeshRenderers. I added a MeshFilter the same shape as my ship to the same transform as the ship's sprite and DoF could then focus on it.
buoyant galleon
Sorting layers are not the same as depth. I doubt an orthographic camera (assuming that is what you are using for 2.5D) writes to the depth buffer in the way that you need it to, which is what DoF uses to blur
I would personally look into a completely different solution to blur the different layers anyway, as a full bokeh DoF is very heavy for something like that
brave meteor
Yeah, I'm using a perspective camera to get natural parallaxes and camera zooming. Do you have any tips on making something feel far and monolithic, like capturing the true scale of a planet?
buoyant galleon
Yep custom gaussian blur based on layer order

Hello. π I'm trying to tinker with the HDRP, and I want to change some things in the stack from script. But, I can't seem to get it to work.
and when I try to start my code with
using UnityEditor.Rendering.PostProcessing;
it doesn't work.
I've updated to the latest LTS of Unity (version 2019.4.4f1) and I'm using the most up-to-date HDRP package in the package manager (which is listed as a 'preview' package instead of a 'verified' package).
Am I doing something wrong?
carmine vessel

@steep kestrel You could increase/decrease the intensity of the emission with code.
@scarlet kindle you probably want: ```cs
using UnityEngine.Rendering;
using UnityEngine.Rendering.HighDefinition;
I'll try that, thanks. π
blazing hedge
are you modifying the post processing? @scarlet kindle
scarlet kindle
My goal was to make a sort of 'abstract sky' thing that I could fiddle with, changing the colors of various gradients and such. I originally wanted to use the shader graph to procedurally make skybox textures, but I couldn't figure out how to do that.
So, I was turning to the HDRP to see what I could do with the skyboxes there.
blazing hedge
That would be more of a shader thing.

Hi guys, I want to do the same as @scarlet kindle but in URP, I have made a function that blends between 2 pp profiles using marhf.lerp (day and night) and I upgraded to urp but the syntax is not the same does anyone have any clue?
public void LerpBetweenTwoProfiles(PostProcessProfile prof1, PostProcessProfile prof2, float timeToLerp)
{
bloomLayer.intensity.value = Mathf.Lerp(prof1.GetSetting<Bloom>().intensity, prof2.GetSetting<Bloom>().intensity, currentLerpTime / timeToLerp);
ambientOclusionLayer.intensity.value = Mathf.Lerp(prof1.GetSetting<AmbientOcclusion>().intensity, prof2.GetSetting<AmbientOcclusion>().intensity, currentLerpTime / timeToLerp);
autoExposureLayer.filtering.value = new Vector2(Mathf.Lerp(prof1.GetSetting<AutoExposure>().filtering.value.x, prof2.GetSetting<AutoExposure>().filtering.value.x, currentLerpTime / timeToLerp), Mathf.Lerp(prof1.GetSetting<AutoExposure>().filtering.value.y, prof2.GetSetting<AutoExposure>().filtering.value.y, currentLerpTime / timeToLerp));
autoExposureLayer.minLuminance.value = Mathf.Lerp(prof1.GetSetting<AutoExposure>().minLuminance.value, prof2.GetSetting<AutoExposure>().minLuminance.value,currentLerpTime/timeToLerp);
autoExposureLayer.maxLuminance.value = Mathf.Lerp(prof1.GetSetting<AutoExposure>().maxLuminance.value, prof2.GetSetting<AutoExposure>().maxLuminance.value,currentLerpTime/timeToLerp);
autoExposureLayer.keyValue.value = Mathf.Lerp(prof1.GetSetting<AutoExposure>().keyValue.value, prof2.GetSetting<AutoExposure>().keyValue.value, currentLerpTime / timeToLerp);
vignetteLayer.intensity.value = Mathf.Lerp(prof1.GetSetting<Vignette>().intensity.value, prof2.GetSetting<Vignette>().intensity.value, currentLerpTime / timeToLerp);
colorGradingLayer.temperature.value = Mathf.Lerp(prof1.GetSetting<ColorGrading>().temperature.value, prof2.GetSetting<ColorGrading>().temperature.value, currentLerpTime / timeToLerp);
currentLerpTime += Time.deltaTime;
}
This is the code, or if anyone knows another way to do this feel free to share it
blazing hedge
probably use an IEnumerator to do it overtime. Is it PPv2?
public PostProcessProfile postProcessing;
//Bloom
float lerpValue = 0.5f;
FloatParameter intensity1 = new FloatParameter { value = lerpValue, overrideState = false };
postProcessing.GetSetting<Bloom>().intensity = intensity1;
//Color Grading
float lerpValue2 = 0.5f;
FloatParameter temp1 = new FloatParameter { value = lerpValue2, overrideState = true };
postProcessing.GetSetting<ColorGrading>().contrast = temp1; //gamma, saturation, etc
But from what I have noticed, you can't change some of these at runtime.

Any post processing recommendations for this type of low poly style? Granted this is just a snippet from a game, where you can actually move around 3d
I already have bloom, color curves to make the green pop out more, depth of field, and motion blur for the gameplay
buoyant galleon
A nice wide Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO) could work, maybe godrays, perhaps even some heavier colour correction with a LUT to give it a deeper style
For lowpoly would advise against using lens effects like vignette/chromatic aberration as they're more for hyperrealistic games
green mason
Agree with Alex, get some AO and colour grading in there. Some very subtle grain is sometimes nice on low poly too

Hi guys i'm making a 2d puzzle type game and It involves circles and lines. I'm not sure if this is a post-processing question but the game currently looks like this
the lines are jagged and the circles are also jagged on the edges
i don't know how to make everything look better
hard obsidian
Looks like the game is being drawn at a lowish resolution
outer citrus
what do you mean?
hard obsidian
How are you drawing the lines and the circles?
outer citrus
lines are drawn with a line renderer
circles are a sprite
for the circles i right clicked the assets window, clicked create, sprite, circle
hard obsidian
What resolution is your game view set to?
Is "low resolution aspect ratios" checked?
outer citrus
how do i check that
hard obsidian
It's a dropdown that appears at the top of the game view
hard obsidian
Do you have a specific resolution set?
outer citrus
hard obsidian
So if it's not drawing at some lowered resolution you'll need antialiasing to make it smoother https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/PostProcessing-Antialiasing.html
outer citrus
i did edit>project settings>quality>anti aliasing> 8x multi sampling
and nothing changed
green mason
Low resolution aspect ratio is a only available if youβre on a high-resolution display.
Looks more like it just needs anti aliasing. The built-in MSAA in quality settings is only useful when you have 3D geometry. So wonβt work with sprites. You want to try a post processing AA
Or re-do your sprites so they use alpha in the sprite
For post processing AA, depends if youβre on the built-in pipeline or URP/HDRP?
outer citrus
i dont know what im using
cant i just make them slightly glow so you cant see the jagged ness
or something like that
how do normal games have lines that look good
green mason
Anti aliasing. What we just mentioned. Itβs just there a few different types and the setup is different based on your rendering pipeline
outer citrus
how do i check my rendering pipeline
green mason
Theres a scriptable render pipeline option in Project Settings > Graphics
If it says None then youβre using built-in, if it has anything else then youβre on a SRP
green mason
So next you need the post processing package. Go to package manager, find Post Processing and install it
Then when itβs installed go to your main camera and add a Post Processing Layer component
Then anti aliasing is an option on there, with a few options to try out
outer citrus
thanks it worked really well

No worries! π₯³

tardy escarp
This might be a dumb question because of how AO / PP in general works, but is it possible to limit where it applies / the "range" of it, even if it just means putting my grass on a layer and selectively excluding it.
Basically, I don't want it to apply to my grass (or it can, but at a further distance outside of the point light range) as the point lights I have on the character cause an undesired effect with regards to the grass. and make it too dark when the directional light is darker than normal.

another question regarding post processing actually, I have some effects that are going to be permanent, currently a child of a DontDestroyOnLoad game manager object, it made sense to me to just use that instead of having the same stack of post processes in each scene.
assuming that all the required scenes are currently ASync loaded so you can flick between them at will, would that approach work? or will each scene take a few seconds to apply the post process (therefore nothing looks right) once you switch?
Hoping that makes sense lol
I suppose I could add some sort of effect or fade-in graphic to give the process time to kick in.
would prefer instant though π
