With URP?

rich spade May 25, 2020, 11:14 AM

#

ah I should read it all "only urp has some gloss bumped up" which would account for the glint

#

good work though 😉

ashen laurel May 25, 2020, 11:16 AM

#

Thanks 🙂 I wanted to make a simple deformation shader tutorial, sadly SG doesn't have tessellation and some other functions to make things top of the line but overall it looks usable in production.

Hey, I'm using camera stackin in URP and it seems like my stacked cameras are slightly offset for some reason, I have 3 or 4 additional cameras stacked, all set to the same position and camera settings FOV etc but when I turn one off (any additional cam) my image is changing slightly as if there was an offset, any ideas what this could be?

@sharp hatch dont suppose this helps you at all? https://gist.github.com/phi-lira/225cd7c5e8545be602dca4eb5ed111ba its what ive been using as the template for my own shaders

Gist

Template shader to use as guide to create Universal Pipeline ready ...

Template shader to use as guide to create Universal Pipeline ready shaders. This shader works with Universal Render Pipeline 7.1.x and above. - UniversalPipelineTemplateShader.shader

sharp hatch May 25, 2020, 7:52 PM

#

@trim bone i found that also

#

but that template has already broken 3 or 4 times due to unity changing things

#

and i wouldnt consider it 'documentation'

#

its someone that basically took the effort to reverse engineer

How do I share lightmaps between scenes?

jovial mulch May 26, 2020, 6:33 AM

Hi,
I'm using URP with Unity 2019.3 and have a strange behavior. When I change an object layer to a custom layer (10 here), it suddenly doesn't render anymore, even with my Forward Renderer rendering all layer. Any Idea why this is occuring ?

📎 unknown.png

rich spade May 26, 2020, 10:02 AM

#

@jovial mulch check the camera settings as they can override pipeline settings

midnight glacier May 26, 2020, 10:57 AM

#

Is it possible to make a render texture with a transparent background and using post processing? (URP)

#

because since I turned on post processing on the camera the background is a solid color

#

even when it's set to uninitialized

rich spade May 26, 2020, 11:01 AM

#

I believe I have this, my minimap uses transparent render texture. think pp too

#

oh no your right, seems I cheated around the problem 😆

#

@midnight glacier what are you trying to do, as might be able to offer some work arounds

midnight glacier May 26, 2020, 11:11 AM

#

simply render this model onto the UI and later animate it

📎 unknown.png

rich spade May 26, 2020, 11:26 AM

#

is this the URP PP or V2 PP or have you tried both?

midnight glacier May 26, 2020, 11:31 AM

#

I don't know, how can I check?

fiery marsh May 26, 2020, 11:33 AM

#

Maybe look into the URP camera stacking rather than rendering it to a render texture. I've never actually used it, but I'm sure it's for stuff like this. https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@7.2/manual/camera-stacking.html

midnight glacier May 26, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

alright, I'll try it out

rich spade May 26, 2020, 11:37 AM

#

you could probably use a custom shader on the GUI element which has the final render texture, using a color mask type thing. playing around now, seems doable

midnight glacier May 26, 2020, 11:38 AM

#

If the stacking doesn't work out I'll look into it

jovial mulch May 26, 2020, 11:41 AM

#

@rich spade You were right, I culled them on the camera when playing with custom render pass xD thanks !

midnight glacier May 26, 2020, 1:10 PM

#

I did try out the stacking

#

it isn't really what I'm looking for

#

it doesn't scale with the UI

#

I'll need to limit to no post processing

pseudo aspen May 26, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

Hi everyone! Would anyone happen to know why does blitting to a temporary render texture not work here?

📎 unknown.png

#

Blitting from source to destination directly works fine but I'm trying to stack two post-effects

fast shard May 26, 2020, 2:58 PM

#

it seems like it should work @pseudo aspen

#

but I don't release the RT until FrameCleanup

#

are you releasing it in Execute?

pseudo aspen May 26, 2020, 2:59 PM

#

yes, but I also tried releasing it in cleanup and it didn't change anything

#

as well as just not releasing it at all

#

which is probably a bad idea, but I tried it anyway

fast shard May 26, 2020, 3:00 PM

#

how do you know which piece isn't working?

#

have you given frame debugging a shot?

pseudo aspen May 26, 2020, 3:01 PM

#

not yet, so far just trying stuff in code

#

i know it's not the materials

#

because just a single source/destination works

#

i suspected it may be something with cmd.Blit changing the destination

#

but thenm again setting cmd.SetRenderTarget didn't change anything either

indigo summit May 26, 2020, 6:31 PM

#

wait, is virtual texture already merged to HDRP?

#

in their latest UniteNow Video they mention Virtual Texture for HDRP are available

whole fossil May 26, 2020, 7:49 PM

#

afaik vt is available as a package in 2020.1

glad tartan May 26, 2020, 7:51 PM

#

It's supposed to be fully integrated in 2020.2 from a post one of the dev made

#

but it was mentioned it was merged into Master for HDRP (which I'm guessing it's the GitHub branch being mentioned)

#

📎 unknown.png

ashen laurel May 26, 2020, 9:02 PM

#

Wait, what is that suppose to mean? "No asset bundle support in 2020"

#

I believe Unity has this 4gb scene limit issue and only way to get through it is to use asset bundles.

#

How would it someone ship a title with hdrp via VT if there is no assetbundle support?

jagged canyon May 27, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

Im getting weirdness in 2019.3.14f1 URP

#

📎 unknown.png

#

my color pickers alpha keeps getting nuked to 0

#

even if I edit the value outside unity

#

it looks great if I set it to 0.5a

#

but as soon as the inspector sees the material, either by selecting the material, or even selecting a prefab with the material applied

#

it nukes the color's alpha value

#

📎 6IF7yfgYlT.gif

#

it behaves weird in opaque mode, but I need opaque + alpha clip

#

the value doesnt even seem to update

#

the material works exactly as expected if I edit the value outside unity

#

but as soon as the inspector sees that color picker, it wipes the value

true zealot May 27, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

just use the threshold value?

jagged canyon May 27, 2020, 1:28 AM

#

yeah that only works if I can set the basemap alpha

#

like a 0.5 threshold makes sense, but it straight up doesnt work if the base alpha is 0

#

📎 WjNm0v7fVM.mp4

#

as you can see it looks perfect at 0.5 but as soon as unity gets 'focus' it wipes it to 0

#

@true zealot

#

looks like a bug to me

true zealot May 27, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

could be, but I still don't understand why you can't just modify the threshold value

jagged canyon May 27, 2020, 1:36 AM

#

it doesnt change anything

#

if your base alpha is 0

#

as you see in my video I did modify the threshold

#

0 threshold

📎 unknown.png

#

📎 unknown.png

#

0.001

#

with 0 base alpha it kinda fucks things

true zealot May 27, 2020, 1:37 AM

#

Oh right that makes sense

#

I see what you mean now

jagged canyon May 27, 2020, 1:38 AM

#

I submitted a bug report but IDK if I worded things well enough

#

I can fix it via shadergraph but ew

turbid matrix May 27, 2020, 5:55 AM

I believe Unity has this 4gb scene limit issue and only way to get through it is to use asset bundles.
@ashen laurel this is why they said they are focusing on it now + VT itself is experimental

fair coral May 27, 2020, 9:01 AM

Hey people! I was having a hard time with memory usage in my 2D webGL game. After some struggles I've realized my import compression methods are not working due to the spritesheetsizes not being multiples of 4. So I've enlarged the sheets canvas by 1 to 3 transparent Pixel rows and switched compression to rgba crunched dxt5, which reduced the memory usage by 98.5% from 45 MB to 600KB

I'm baffled. I am by no means an artist but my eye can't see quality differences. Can someone explain to me (or hint to an explanation) why this compression method is so powerful? And especially why it needs multiples of 4 in canvas size? That would be great!

amber gate May 27, 2020, 10:27 AM

#

game engines generally handle textures in the power of 2 better, I think anything that isn't 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 etc causes extra work

elder merlin May 27, 2020, 11:20 AM

#

Correct, I believe if your texture is not a power of two then it will not be compressed at all

jagged canyon May 27, 2020, 11:27 AM

#

@true zealot so apparently the issue only affects the URP simple lit shader. The regular lit shader doesnt have the issue of setting the alpha to 0 so Im using that now. But in the future I want more optimized stuff - so hopefully they'll fix the basic shader?

broken lichen May 27, 2020, 11:32 AM

#

This seems to be more of an editor script issue. Probably a bug in the custom editor for that shader

split spire May 27, 2020, 12:28 PM

In HDRP, Is it possible to have volumetric fog inside a sphere while outside, there is also a volumetric fog with different settings? I'm trying to have darkness inside a cave and currently I'm just blending between two profiles when I go in. But when I stay outside and see through the cave entrance, I can clearly see the inside of the cave.

#

Or is there a better way?

drifting vault May 27, 2020, 12:39 PM

#

@split spire try use volume density box

split spire May 27, 2020, 12:59 PM

#

Yep, that helps. Thanks @drifting vault

late schooner May 27, 2020, 1:17 PM

#

@fair coral do you want the short version or the long version

#

mostly it comes down to humans really sucking when it comes to picking up on color changes

#

the rest is implementation details

fair coral May 27, 2020, 1:27 PM

#

@late schooner Thanks! I would actually be interested in a longer version as well 😄 I mostly ignore graphic stuff since optimization normally isn't important in my field of work. But I kind of want to understand why a 1.6MB PNG spritesheet needs 45 MB of memory if not compressed, and only 600kb if compressed. is there any easy to understand article I could read? Doesn't really need to focus the specific algorithm 🙂 just want to undertsand whats going on there, haha.

late schooner May 27, 2020, 1:27 PM

#

complicating the matter is that you're actually mixing disk formats and game-optimal stuff

#

PNG is actually a compressed format based pretty closely on the mechanics of ZIP files

#

it's smaller because redundancy is removed (if you know what Huffman encoding is it's easier to figure out, just looking for copies of the same data in a rolling chunk of the image)

#

DXT-based things work differently and are designed specifically for images. The format itself works in 4x4 blocks, which is why your canvas sizes need to be multiples of 4

#

each 4x4 block is kept together and has a 'biggest color' and 'smallest color'. Then, for each of the pixels in that block, you get what is loosely a 'lerp value' with 16 increments

#

Crunch works on top of that and combines some PNG-like compression on top of what DXT already does

#

PNG/Crunch are lying slightly about their memory consumption, though, since your graphics hardware/Unity low-level stuff needs to be able to grab any arbitrary chunk of pixels

#

Huffman encoding works on the whole image and because of that it's effectively impossible to say "tell me what lives at pixel (4, 4)" without first decompressing everything up to that point

fair coral May 27, 2020, 3:02 PM

#

Thank you! That's some incredible valuable information 🙂

Does urp support the stencil buffer?

broken lichen May 27, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

@sharp hatch Yep

sharp hatch May 27, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

additional question

#

is custom passes implemented for URP?

turbid matrix May 27, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

not in similar way as on HDRP

#

I dunno if custom passes are coming but custom pp passes for sure will

sharp hatch May 27, 2020, 8:11 PM

#

Well that sucks

#

So I cant port my stencil shadow setup to urp

turbid matrix May 27, 2020, 9:12 PM

URP lets you do custom render passes

#

but I don't know if they've documented it

there are some tutorials around on how to use it

#

is it possible to turn off a custom pipeline feature for just one camera?

fast shard May 28, 2020, 4:48 AM

#

I ended up using a hack based on whether post processing was enabled in the cameradata

sharp hatch May 28, 2020, 6:29 AM

#

Is there compute shader or at least geometry shader support in URP?

#

okey so i found this: https://github.com/Dener1111/LowRes

GitHub

Dener1111/LowRes

Low resolution effect for Unity URP PPv3 . Contribute to Dener1111/LowRes development by creating an account on GitHub.

#

this is a custom... "Pass" for URP?

#

Is this different from Render Object ?

#

I assume that... "Pass" is some sort of full screen effect thing

#

and that Render Object stuff is to select a sub-section of objects to render with a custom material?

#

I mean... there's no fkn docs

where private void RenderPipelineManager_endCameraRendering(ScriptableRenderContext context, Camera camera) { OnPostRender(); }

@sharp hatch pp is fine, perfromance is fine even on phones

#

at least on URP 7.3.1

#

I'm developing few projects for mobiles / low-end PC and mobile VR (Quest) and on both i get better performance that on build-in render

sharp hatch May 28, 2020, 8:41 AM

#

that's good for you, but it's clearly not the case for everyone

#

and pp is not fine, right now they have V2 'temp' thing which isn't gonna be supported in X months?

#

and no documentation for the shader API to make your own shaders, and shader graph missing advanced features

it's just..

¯_(ツ)_/¯

@sharp hatch ppv2 support is not going to go away from urp 7

#

It's just not going to be added to urp 8+ (so for 2020 cycle you need to use the urp's own pp)

#

I guess this could still change if they cant get custom pp in urp 8+ any time soon

sharp hatch May 28, 2020, 11:00 AM

#

@turbid matrix the problem is just how unreliable all of it feels when it comes to the PP stack

#

i dont wan tot have to port all my code to urp7, then not be able to upgrade a year down the line when there's some critical bugfix i need form urp 8

#

without re-implementing all my shit again

#

etc.

turbid matrix May 28, 2020, 11:02 AM

#

You could then just modify urp package directly and inject your own pp there amomg the other built-in effects

#

Could then port that to custom pp api once unity comes up with such

#

I did this for hdrp in past. Altho I have no idea how urp pp code sttucture is. On hdrp it was really straight forward so wouldnt expect urp to be harder

#

Some things kinda still require modified hdrp still, like if you want to make custom TAA implementation then the custom pp api doesnt expose the camera projection jitter and my attempts to force it myself failed just by using their public api

sharp hatch May 28, 2020, 11:07 AM

yeah i mean this is possible

what i want to do

is to make a custom RP

its basically what i did on top of the old pipeline

@indigo summit on with HDRP and UNity version are you seating?

#

its kinda light group volumes, but that box place those in auto-mode and you able to control density of that

indigo summit May 28, 2020, 12:57 PM

#

ah i see a light probe volume

#

i thought it was a different probe volume since there's LPPV already

i'm on 2020.1 b10 on HDRP 9.00 preview 13

drifting vault May 28, 2020, 1:02 PM

seems like i have to downgrade to 2020.1

indigo summit May 28, 2020, 1:11 PM

#

i'm tired with the alpha version. might try again on later version. Everything keep broken (and yes i know it's alpha)

#

the only issue i found with the latest beta and HDRP are shader caching causing hdrp to fail compiling shaders

#

not sure why

#

maybe because i have hybrid rendering installed

oh no, i unistalled and isntalled again 2020.2A 😄

#

on that "See other version"

#

@drifting vault

turbid matrix May 28, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

as additional note, you enable preview packages differently now

#

like, it does list them if you have one on your manifest already but it doesn't show any noninstalled preview packages by default

indigo summit May 28, 2020, 2:57 PM

#

oh what changed?

turbid matrix May 28, 2020, 2:57 PM

#

that being said, HDRP is out of preview and there's only one 9.0 preview package, 8.0.1 and 8.1.0 are "normal" releases

#

@indigo summit they moved the "show preview packages" from package manager drop down to project settings

indigo summit May 28, 2020, 2:58 PM

#

oh i see

turbid matrix May 28, 2020, 2:58 PM

#

it's their way of making it less trivial as people tend to get into trouble by just casually using preview packages

#

and then ranting how unstable unity is

#

as another thing:

📎 unknown.png

#

I know this error

#

but I actually do have HDRP asset assigned in this case 😄

indigo summit May 28, 2020, 2:59 PM

#

hmm i'm starting a new project but preview packaged are enabled by default

turbid matrix May 28, 2020, 2:59 PM

#

I'm using HDRP from github so it could be a bug on bleeding edge version

#

or that just 10.x not being 100% compatible with 2020.2.0a12

#

@indigo summit they definitely are not

#

like, they've not been enabled by default even on the older Unity versions for a long time now

indigo summit May 28, 2020, 3:00 PM

#

hmm maybe because i used HDRP template?

turbid matrix May 28, 2020, 3:01 PM

#

could be, it shouldn't work like that tho

#

you sure it's enabled or that you just have some preview packages preinstalled by the template?

ripe fable May 28, 2020, 3:01 PM

#

I'm also getting the HDRP asset error, probably something temporary on the latest version yeah

turbid matrix May 28, 2020, 3:02 PM

#

HDRP template itself installs preview versions of TextMeshPro and Timeline but if you go to all packages list, it doesn't list anything in preview other than those packages the template installed for you

indigo summit May 28, 2020, 3:02 PM

#

it's enabled as i can see preview packages in PacMan

turbid matrix May 28, 2020, 3:02 PM

#

even ones that are not installed?

indigo summit May 28, 2020, 3:02 PM

#

yep

it doesn't do that for me

turbid matrix May 28, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

I'm on latest 2020.2 atm

#

but I've used 2020.1 betas in past

#

ah somehow i can't use that version

#

for some reason HDRP not running on alpha

turbid matrix May 28, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

works here

indigo summit May 28, 2020, 3:05 PM

#

which is why i'm confused 😄

turbid matrix May 28, 2020, 3:05 PM

#

just don't try to use the 7.x it installs by default if you use HD template

indigo summit May 28, 2020, 3:05 PM

#

like all HDRP shader give me errors

turbid matrix May 28, 2020, 3:05 PM

#

8.1.0 works out of the box just fine

#

also make sure you run HDRP wizard if you get weird errors

#

I basically run it always myself as first step when doing new HDRP project as I don't want to use the hd template (all that bloat)

#

basically I just make new 3D project, make sure there's right HDRP version installed and then run the HDRP wizard and let it conf everything

i merely like the template due they have some model to work with

Is there a way to toggle sky reflection on runtime? Unity 2019.3.9f HDRP 7.3.1

drifting vault May 29, 2020, 2:18 PM

#

@split spire you about apply sky refelctions form HDRI?

split spire May 29, 2020, 2:30 PM

@drifting vault sorry? I don't get you

drifting vault May 29, 2020, 2:30 PM

me too

#

your problems is world not reflecting a sky?

split spire May 29, 2020, 2:45 PM

#

Ok my problem is that the whole world is reflecting the sky. That makes all my objects shiny eventhough the room is completely dark. I've figured that the shinyness is caused by sky relfection from the HDRP settings in the project settings. But when I turn it off, I can't see the skybox on my water reflection. I tried using Reflection Probes but I have some problems with this (will still try this approach tho). My current approach is to enable sky reflections when I need it (like close the water) and turn it off when I'm in dark rooms. My question is, can I toggle the sky reflection that is in the HDRP settings in the project settings on runtime?

drifting vault May 29, 2020, 2:46 PM

#

you tried to control HDRI sky exposure parameter ?

split spire May 29, 2020, 2:48 PM

#

No. You mean from the Volume profile?

scarlet hull May 29, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

You can disable the sky reflections per camera in the "lighting" part of the custom frame settings

#

But properly set up reflections probes should be what you need here.

split spire May 29, 2020, 3:00 PM

#

But the custom frame settings is still not editable on runtime or is it? But yeah, I think I have to fight with reflection probes again...

Hello there, not sure if it's the good place to ask but I'll go for it : I'm creating a voxel based terrain generator, so I created meshes and need to apply textures to them. I've created an atlas packer for all my block's textures and the blocks get the correct UV on it, all is good, but with this created texture, it turns to black when the camera renders it after some distance. It doesn't happen when I use a basic texture from the assets.

#

#

^ With generated texture

#

📎 block-artifact2.PNG

#

^ With asset texture

#

I'm using URP, the created texture is just a Texture2D and I'm using PackTexture with my blocks textures to create it

topaz quartz May 29, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

The created texture is point filtered. When I set its filter mode to Bi/Tri linear, the problems doesn't occur.

wind fox May 29, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

I'm trying to do automatic screen-space dithering for every object that gets too close to the camera's near plane, I'm trying to approach it from a post-processing angle, but I realized that maybe I can leverage SRPs

#

basically, I want to avoid 2 things:

Putting two materials on top of each other
Having to write an alternative material for each object I want to automatically dither

#

Does this sound like a use-case for SRP?

icy ferry May 29, 2020, 10:56 PM

#

@topaz quartz perhaps a mipmap issue?

#

anyone here familiar with URP and doing custom render features / passes?

#

I'm trying to find a way to do a pass that renders a subset of objects (that are on a specific layermask for instance), with an override shader, but keep the material parameters from that object's original material.

#

for example. each object has a material with a color set on it called _MainColor. i want to render these objects with an override shader that also respects _MainColor. but when I use the RenderObjects feature in URP I can only specify an override material, and it ignores and properties from the original object's material, and just uses the entire override material as-is.

#

poking around looking for documentation or hints, but nothing leading me in the right direction

topaz quartz May 29, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

@icy ferry Seems so. The generated texture have mipmaps (Mipmapcount property tells it has 6), but it seems it default to a blank mipmap once it gets too far. It should stay on the last one, as it seems to do when filtering.

oblique nova May 30, 2020, 6:28 AM

Don't know if this is the correct place to ask but, is there any faster way to modify an index buffer in Unity than Mesh.SetIndexBufferData? Alternatively, some way to modify the index buffer of a mesh in a separate thread (without having to copy the whole mesh)?

warm wagon May 30, 2020, 10:59 AM

#

Hello, I'm making a terrain system. If i wanted to take advantage of the SRP batcher, which Graphics.Draw() function should i use to draw my terrains? I know the mesh each terrain tile will have to use as well as the bounds, position, MaterialPropertyBlock(), rotation, size. Is it DrawMeshNow()? There are DrawMeshInstanced() functions as well, but as far as i understand it, the SRP batcher replaces GPU instancing, making me think those functions are redundant.

daring ember May 31, 2020, 12:12 AM

Hi there

#

What are the performance difference between srp batching and say texture Atlasing? Say I have an identical scene and the only difference is in one scene some textures are not atlased, but SRP batching is enabled so those objects still batch together despite having different materials. In the other scene they all use the same material and the main tex is atlased, so they can batch together without srp batching.

#

Is one as performant as the other ?

scenic jay May 31, 2020, 2:42 AM

#

Thats a interesting question, might be worth a setup and profiling it, keep in mind that the "non SRP" batching has quite some limitation wehn it can be applied, Static batching comes with its limitations and dynamic batching is quit limited too so there is not garatee that the objects with the atlased texture will be batched.
I do not know what the overhead on the SRP batcher is but it whas worked for me nicely so far.

simple vine Jun 1, 2020, 8:42 AM

#

Mipmaps are specifically designed to eliminate texture aliasing with small texels by using downsampled versions of a texture (so it's smoother, but has less detail). If you don't wish to dvelve into shaders, you can use kaiser filtering with trilinear filtering (trilinear blends two mip levels together). Alternatively, you can also sample your textures with a mip bias to restore some detail. @dawn sorrel

@simple vine

and where is this option?

simple vine Jun 1, 2020, 8:59 AM

You code it in your shaders

HLSL and CG have a tex2dbias function, SRPs have a SAMPLE_TEXTURE2D_BIAS wrapping macro defined in the API libraries

Hey guys, I have just started into developing a VR game for a college project and wondered which pipeline yous guys would suggest using? I will be developing for the Oculus Quest and have seen some posts online talking about the URP being a good choice but im not sure?

simple vine Jun 1, 2020, 9:39 AM

#

Yeah, URP is pretty much the way to go. Works fast, has enough features for VR.

#

Do note that it still lacks some sophisticated features, like SSAO, SSR, 3D texture based light probes, etc.

#

But I believe you shouldn't use them in VR in the first place

anyone used the Custom Render Texture in hdrp before?
Im trying to get it to work with a shader Graph shader
@scenic jay I have

#

Unfortunately there are no hdrp sg out of the box that supports CRT

#

URP's unlit works but hdrp variant doesnt

#

One thing to note is that to render shader to CRT, you only need traditional crt shader (same kind of shader as with built-in renderer). Therefore if you want node graph CRT shader and you have ASE (amplify shader editor), it has template for it (and it works with all renderers)

scenic jay Jun 1, 2020, 1:01 PM

#

@turbid matrix thanks for confirming that i did not miss it somhow.
I take a look if i can fabricate my own master node for it

turbid matrix Jun 1, 2020, 1:08 PM

#

well, you can but I warn you it's waste of time if you update to newer SG soon

#

first of all, they changed the SG structure even on 2020 cycle already

#

and they will add the SG stacks thing soon as well

#

@scenic jay this LG repo used to have CRT master node for HDRP 5.1: https://discordapp.com/channels/489222168727519232/497874081329184799/671556714520379412

#

that link doesn't work anymore since they upgraded HDRP to 7.2 and I don't see the CRT graph anymore there

#

it could still be somewhere else (or they just didn't need it anymore and didn't port it)

#

I've ported that myself to 8.x I think but it only worked for main SG, as soon as I used subgraphs it broke

#

it's clearly something wrong on my side of things but SG codebase is horrible for individual to figure out

#

I often wish they'd just let people do trivial templates that were self-explanotary like ASE does

#

I also wonder if this overly complicated structure is reason why SG is so bugged

#

anyway, I kinda gave up on CRT graph for the time being myself... basically once the sg stack PR lands, one can build Unlit shader that has both URP and HDRP variants and then use the URP's pass for CRT.. main downside of this is that you actually have to have URP package installed even if you only use that one SG from it 😄

#

also for the time being, ASE works fine for me for building CRT shaders

#

like, that shader API isn't going to change any time soon, it's been same since Unity 5.6 or whenever they introduced it

#

so, there's practically no work needed to maintain ASE to support CRT

#

on SG side, if you make a custom CRT graph, you are stuck on porting it forever for future SG updates

scenic jay Jun 1, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

i currently dont use ASE , and this would be in my own spare time so im not super tempted to buy it just for this one thing

turbid matrix Jun 1, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

ah

#

well, you can also write the shaderlab code yourself if you are not too afraid of that approach

#

basically all this applies even if you use it with HDRP: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-CustomRenderTexture.html

scenic jay Jun 1, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

i could prototype code in SG and then bring it over in shaderlab

#

not sure what problems will apper but thats a option to think about

turbid matrix Jun 1, 2020, 1:23 PM

#

technically you could like, make the thing on URP and save the generated shader to use in HDRP, but it still would require URP shader includes...

#

like mentioned before URP Unlit does work with CRT for some reason

#

same shader graph opens with HDRP but once you save it for HDRP, it doesn't work anymore, it needs URP's passes

#

afaik, CRT graph is on Unity's backlog

#

but no idea if it'll ever actually find it's way to a release

scenic jay Jun 1, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

for my last work project we did a workaround so we did not have to use custome render texture but it would be nice to have the option instad of redering stuff to a camera -> Rendertexture and unsing it then

lwrp was renamed to urp

#

so dont use lwrp if you are starting now

#

hdrp is if you want aaa graphics fidelity, so sounds like you might want urp

#

then again, urp is really cut down in features compared to hdrp but urp is easier to modify and faster(esp if you are considering mobile) compared to hdrp

frigid ibex Jun 1, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

@plain finch
Built-in: Jack of all trades -> A lot of features and a robust support, easy to extend, but the top-end features are asset paid packages.
HDRP -> High end graphics on high end devices (Computers and consoles), hard to extend
URP -> Limited Functions to work in all devices, easy to extend

Remember URP has major limitations when achieving high end graphics, like no shadows from points lights.
If I were you I would start with the Built-in is the one with the lower learning curve (Except for shaders, but only the basic ones) and will provide insightful perspective
Here is the detailed list:

Built-in vs URP

im going for a cartoon look, so a lot of flat shading, so i feel like i would want URP, but URP feature list says it doesnt support heightmaps or normalmaps for shaders, and the built in doesnt support Shader Graphs, so, then i guess id have to go with HDRP?

#

like, other than the height/normal thing, URP seems perfect, is there a way around that?

fiery marsh Jun 1, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

I think you may have read the table slightly wrong, as URP does support normals maps. The Lit shader it provides just doesn't support the secondary detail maps like the built-in pipeline's Standard shader has. Heightmaps (as in the ones that provide an illusion of depth to a material https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/StandardShaderMaterialParameterHeightMap.html) aren't supported by the URP Lit shader, but you could technically still write a shader yourself to handle it.

If you're doing cartoon / flat shading, you probably don't even need normal or height mapping anyway though.

plain finch Jun 1, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

not highly detailed heightmaps, but for stuff like small rocks and stuff, or stone pavers, i would still like them there

frigid ibex Jun 1, 2020, 8:58 PM

I would recommend the built-in so you get a clear point of view and a solid base for your game, the SRP is fancy but also is a headache. If you don't need anything specific from the SRP them my tip is "avoid it".
(The thing that is missing is the shadergraph, but If you are serious about it, I would recommend amplify shader is not cheap but time to time is at 50% and is exactly the same as the shadergraph)

Unity is marketing the SRP because they need to sell the "last thing", but for developers sometimes it means pain and not working things. Also porting from built-in to one or another SRP (URP or HDRP) is possible and easy in the future, but in the opposite direction (feasible, but a pain)

I know I'm not saying what you want to hear, but seriously I truly wish I listened to the people warning me some months ago... SRP is a late 2020 or 2021 Product.

plain finch Jun 1, 2020, 9:00 PM

#

SRP i assume includes URP?

frigid ibex Jun 1, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

Yes is the general term for both, U-RP and HD-RP

plain finch Jun 1, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

the main thing that made me want to switch to one of them was shader graphs, i switched between all three RPs, and settled on HDRP, once i updated to 2019.3, i moved back to the default, because several things broke, and it was a similar amount to fix it within HDRP, or just go back to the default, but, i really miss shadergraphs

#

i dont do much texturework, im a programmer, not an artist, so i dont really do much materials/shaders so in that respect, i could make materials elsewhere, so, i guess Default it is

frigid ibex Jun 1, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

Is a bit clunky

#

but there is a free visual-shader editor on the market

#

https://github.com/FreyaHolmer/ShaderForge

#

with MIT license, so you are free to use it, but as I said it doesn't have the "easy of use" of the shadergraph or the paid shader editors.

Currently I am using the built in pipeline for my oculus quest game

#

Usually there are about 300k tris

#

The worlds will get even more complicated than that so I am not aiming for impressive graphics right now just basic lighting with one directional light for shadows

#

Will I get better performance by switching to URP?

#

If so how much longer will it make the export times (I have to export everytime I want to test)

#

When I loaded up a basic scene I noticed the graphics are much nicer and complicated. I also didn't have access to the old shaders I used for performance

#

It seems like by default it won't give me better performance but can I customize it to be more like the old graphics with better performance?

#

Any help is greatly appreciated, @ me if you answer

Hey guys, has anyone had any problems with the edges of objects flickering when using the URP, I have tried messing with antialiasing but once I build to the Oculus Quest and enter the scene it continues to act strange?

Hi all, anyone know if there's a way to set a material to ignore reflection probes and use a custom environment for reflection in HDRP?

I've tried using custom reflection probes with a HDR but it would be way easier to set it up via material.

My guess is a custom shader will be needed but I'm happy to be corrected if this isn't necessary!

scarlet hull Jun 2, 2020, 1:01 PM

#

@upbeat copper In HDRP, you can use the lightlayers to filter which reflections probes affect which objects

upbeat copper Jun 2, 2020, 1:01 PM

#

Aah that would solve a few problems if we have to go with reflection probes

#

cheers

#

😅

turbid matrix Jun 4, 2020, 8:13 AM

#

There's not much to it

#

You install package and then just convert your go's with meshes

#

For hybridv2 you need the define on player settings

indigo summit Jun 4, 2020, 8:14 AM

#

convert?

#

did that already

turbid matrix Jun 4, 2020, 8:14 AM

#

ConvertToEntity

#

If there is hybrid renderer installed it moves the mesh renderers from go's to entities rendermeshes

indigo summit Jun 4, 2020, 8:16 AM

#

yeah it changed to Mesh Renderer

#

should i also add ConvertToEntity component?

turbid matrix Jun 4, 2020, 8:16 AM

#

There is also additional conponent that lets you optimize the entity to be static. It should be used with static meshes (and static dots physics objects)

#

should i also add ConvertToEntity component?
@indigo summit yes

#

There needs to be conversion somewhere on the GO hierarchy

indigo summit Jun 4, 2020, 8:17 AM

#

to all MeshRenderer or static renderer only?

turbid matrix Jun 4, 2020, 8:18 AM

#

It converts all child go's too

#

To everything you wish to convert..

Hybrid only renders converted

You use the 9.0-preview package?

indigo summit Jun 4, 2020, 8:29 AM

#

yep

turbid matrix Jun 4, 2020, 8:29 AM

#

No idea then. It should work :)

#

I dunno if the 9.0 preview is somehow outdated for current betas

#

I have used it in past from github directly so cant tell from the preview package much

#

Hybrid does have tons of issues otherwise tho

#

I would only use it on a ecs heavy project

#

It doesnt help on perf for traditional projects for example

#

So only reasons to use it are:

simpler mesh rendering on dots projects
need brute force massive scale rendering on dots

#

For typical scenes I've measured nonhybrid being tad faster at least on hdrp

In general is it a bad idea to use the HDRP if you are not a big studio? I have stepped out of unity for a while, getting back in now. I have been watching some videos on HDRP and URP and they seems cool, but wondering if they are too complex for one guy

@sudden terrace Most of it's pretty plug and play.

Would you recommend HDRP or URP for most people

broken lichen Jun 4, 2020, 3:28 PM

Are you asking which out of those two I would recommend or would I recommend HDRP/URP over the built-in render pipeline?

sudden terrace Jun 4, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

I guess both lol. Do you recommend either of those over the built-in and then which of those 2 specifically

broken lichen Jun 4, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

It really depends on what you're making.

sudden terrace Jun 4, 2020, 3:30 PM

Pirate themed game, run around, islands water, etc. Low poly models but hoping to make it look okay through post processing, lighting etc

broken lichen Jun 4, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

What are your target platforms?

#

But it sounds like something URP should be able to handle well while also keeping it open to lower end hardware

sudden terrace Jun 4, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

Its gonna be almost certainly PC only, controls are active ragdoll (like human fall flat or gangbeasts). Maaaybe xbox or ps5 but pretty much pc / mac

broken lichen Jun 4, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

I've never used HDRP extensively, so it's hard for me to make that recommendation

sudden terrace Jun 4, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

From what I gathered they are pretty similar. Do you enjoy URP over the built in render? I am leaning toward URP but don't want too many hurdles given its low poly nature I want to make sure its worth it haha

broken lichen Jun 4, 2020, 3:35 PM

#

If you're not planning on doing anything custom in it, like custom shaders or custom rendering features, you shouldn't notice many differences except for a few features that URP is still missing. No realtime point light shadows in URP yet is probably the main one.

#

URP inherently has better batching than built-in

glad tartan Jun 4, 2020, 3:36 PM

#

Using HDRP is not really different from using Built-in or URP it just depends on the graphical features you want to add to your game. If you want to achieve the best graphics possible then you would go for HDRP or Built-in with graphics plugins. URP is getting some plugins as well to help with graphical fidelity so you could also use that if you see what you would need on the asset store

#

URP should give you better performance than Built-in

upbeat badger Jun 4, 2020, 3:42 PM

when i highlight the camera, the little preview that shows in the Scene view looks correct and when i highlight the planar reflection probe, the preview of that also looks correct. scene view camera also has reflections that look totally normal... just the game view that is having this problem (and its in builds too).

anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

I'm still pretty new to Unity and I've been using the standard 3d template so far. Are there any downsides to switching to URP? Is it possible to use Shader Graph without URP or HDRP?

scarlet hull Jun 5, 2020, 7:51 AM

#

Downside : URP is not at feature parity with the built-in pipeline for the moment
SG is only compatible with the new pipelines

long wagon Jun 5, 2020, 7:54 AM

#

Alternatively Shader Forge (visual scripting for the built-in pipeline) has been updated by the author (Freya Holmer) recently to support Unity 2019.

drowsy prawn Jun 5, 2020, 7:57 AM

#

Ah ok. Considering I'm just getting started and probably won't have a project ready for release for a while, I think it's probably better I get used to making shaders with shader graph on URP, right?

#

Since Unity is working on making that the main render pipeline in the future?

scarlet hull Jun 5, 2020, 7:59 AM

I'd say yes

I'm disabling game objects while looking at the Statistics window to see how many draw calls that game object is producing, however when I enable the object again, the amount of draw calls does not match the number before I disabled it.

Is it normal when adding a single 2d global light using the 2d renderer for URP to have the scene render in .7 ms to like 1.1 ms (never works with lighting before, not sure if a single light is normal to add that much overhead)?

sturdy sparrow Jun 6, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

"that much overhead" you do know what ms stands for right?

#

Theres 1000ms in a second

#

that means your lights could render 900+ times every second, at worst, and like 1300-1500+ at best.

#

meanwhile the most refreshes a proper gaming monitor does per second is 120

#

let that sink in.

broken lichen Jun 6, 2020, 1:36 AM

#

For 60 FPS, you get 16.7 ms per frame. The 0.4 ms is not very significant on its own, but it can add up. I would have expected a global light to sort of always be active, similar to how a directional light is always calculated for 3D lit objects, regardless of whether there is one or not.

It's the same for every pipeline.
Add an emissive material to the cube, make it contribute to the GI and bake the scene. As for the edges being dark that's from a mask or emissive texture either technique will work the mask is more flexible.

turbid matrix Jun 6, 2020, 6:58 PM

wonder how big of a task it would be for unity to actually support instanced geometry for triple-screen gaming through their new XR management setup

#

what sucks about this API is that it's not open

#

Unity only provides XR SDK when you apply for the access for it

#

so you'd have to jump through some hoops even to be able to look at it

#

one would think it wouldn't be that hard considering:

they support more than 2 XR views by design
they already have Mock plugin that does two views without actual VR hardware

#

rendering with 3 monitors at once works already, I've got a prototype for this, it's just more expensive to render everything trice

Some news on AO for URP

#

📎 unknown.png

turbid matrix Jun 6, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

I also wonder how far they'll go with HDRP parity on config

#

I read the Will's tweet earlier where he mentioned they do go for similar conf for URP

#

with the SG Stack change (not yet merged in github) and both using volumes, runtime swapping between the two is a lot easier

#

that being said, I've done a proto of this new SG stack and runtime swap earlier this week (last time I did this was when it was still LWRP and HDRP, around 2018.3 or 2019.1 I think)

#

what's glorious right now is that to swap between these SRPs, you don't have to touch materials at all as long as you author your shaders only using shader graph and conf all your SG's to have both URP and HDRP targets

#

what's painful now though are the following:

EXPOSURE (somehow I can't make this to NOT leak between HDRP and URP)
different data components for camera, lighting
even Volume seems to be special but I've worked around this

candid basin Jun 6, 2020, 7:58 PM

#

so shader graphs just are able to swap between URP/HDRP? that's amazing

turbid matrix Jun 6, 2020, 8:00 PM

#

@candid basin basically once the sg stack change lands, you can make SGs that have shader passes for all these three: HDRP, URP, VFX

#

technically for more if they add them

#

since the passes will be generated to the same SG file, you don't have to reconf the materials if you use them with different SRP

#

this part already works and is functional on the wip branch on github

#

I find the runtime swapping between URP and HDRP would be SUPER feasible if Unity only changed few minor things

#

right now my workaround is to keep HDRP and URP lighting + camera + volume stuff on additive scene and when I runtime toggle between the two, I unload the other additive scene, swap SRP asset and then load the other SRPs additive scene

#

I can already write tooling to make this swap trivial at editor too, but currently wondering what would be the best route to go with this

#

for example swapping SRP specific cameras is silly and I could just make URP and HDRP data components NOT hide the data which is relevant to the other SRP

#

right now these are kinda destructive and I can't have both on the camera at the same time

#

same goes with lighting

#

with volumes there's some other oddity, basically both use same volume system but it somehow wants to get to some mode where it only works with HDRP if I create it on this project. I've worked around this by bringing the URP volume as a prefab from URP only project. After that I can safely add and remove URP supported PP components to it and it keeps working 😄

#

and lastly, there's the sky system difference but this is somewhat trivial to work around

#

@candid basin one things to note about the sg stack thing.. to be able to author to both HDRP and URP at once, you have to have both SRP packages installed at the same time

#

that means, just having packages there in package manager

#

I guess this is because the SG templates come with the HDRP and URP packages

@HarryAlisavakis @RaphErnaelsten For now - we are heading for feature parity and that includes workflows, we know they’re not quite there though and working hard to improve the situation and workflow parity with hdrp too to make it less confusing. Love these effects Raph!

I get that at this point Unity will not make a statement if they plan to support that as it's still so far off

but all the work they do to make these conf same way will help on that thing too

@kindred kiln you might want to check out planar reflections, boat attack has example for URP. There's probably a few others around net too, reflection probes do not do glass / mirrors imo very well at all.
While these will not be out of the box solutions they should give you some ideas how to setup something which works and does not require endless probes placing.

Hey everyone, I'm getting a The name 'CommandBufferPool' does not exist in the current context error, but I can't figure out what's going on. I've imported a Blitpass renderpass/feature from the UniversalRenderingExamples (URP 8.10 and 2020.1.b11)

turbid matrix Jun 8, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

you need to be more specific

turbid oriole Jun 8, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

Figured it out 🤣 so I wasn't including the core renderpipelines in an ASMDEF

turbid matrix Jun 8, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

ah, if you use asmdef, that's definitely needed

turbid oriole Jun 8, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

Yeah, christ, so many moving parts sometimes

#

Thank you for trying to help 🙂

turbid matrix Jun 8, 2020, 11:35 AM

#

@ruby sleet this has some outline effect as hdrp custom pass: https://github.com/alelievr/HDRP-Custom-Passes/

#

could modify it to just do outline

turbid matrix Jun 8, 2020, 12:15 PM

#

@dawn sorrel there's a HBAO asset for HDRP?

#

also, which HDRP version?

#

(I'm going to continue discussion from #💥┃post-processing here as the visual screenshot is here)

dawn sorrel Jun 8, 2020, 12:17 PM

#

ah, nice to see more people supporting HDRP now

#

I'm not huge fan of the HBAO algo looks myself (edit: my experience is mainly from HBAO+)

#

but it's always good to have options

#

anyway, I'm trying to ask now third time, which HDRP version? 😄

#

@dawn sorrel

dawn sorrel Jun 8, 2020, 12:20 PM

#

I'm in a shower so it'll take me some time to open Unity 😄

turbid matrix Jun 8, 2020, 12:21 PM

#

ah, no worries, I just thought you'd know 😄

#

the reason I ask this because there's been updates to the HDRP AO

#

could track the release notes if they were before or after your version

#

it's been a while but people can use really ancient versions..

#

the changes were on the old SRP repo so can't quickly search for the PRs even

dawn sorrel Jun 8, 2020, 12:32 PM

#

@turbid matrix HDRP 7.3.1.

turbid matrix Jun 8, 2020, 12:40 PM

#

that should have the fixes alright

#

the area where you have the noise is basically where there's lack of screenspace data tho, so that issue could just be from the poor sampling there

dawn sorrel Jun 8, 2020, 12:45 PM

#

Shouldn't it be covered up by blurring.

turbid matrix Jun 8, 2020, 12:45 PM

#

there's some temporal pass to clean that stuff out yes

#

one thing that I've been meaning to do for a long time was to port the old HDRP AO as custom PP pass

#

the commit that removed it is this: https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/graphics/commit/92dc9d99b5e67e211ad60373727a30dde28ad41a

New Ambient Occlusion for HDRP (#3774) · Unity-Technologies/Graphi...

First buggy pass
Getting somewhere (not sure where :-) )
Micro optimization
Fix bug in packing
Somewhat progressing on the denoise (very far)
Use different input/output for history...

#

just mainly to have more options

#

it should be somewhat trivial to port that to current HDRP custom PP, like should take a day or two

#

altho I do wonder if you can run your custom PP in async compute

#

its not required to run this but original one did have that option

Hi, guys. We have "submarine" with spotlight and the submarine can freely move around. We had issue with ghost trails (because of the dynamic lights), but I found out that is necessary to turn of Reprojection settings (as it is written in documentation). But now the visual of shafts is ugly. Any chance I missed some setting? We are using HDRP, volumetric dynamic lights and global fog. I was playing with lot of settings, but I wasn't able to figure it out. Thanks for the help.

#

@coarse schooner you have to enable fog filtering

coarse schooner Jun 8, 2020, 3:50 PM

#

@drifting vault Oh god, it was in the "more options" settings... Thank you very much. I can't get used to this "hidden" option. It works fine now! Only thing that bothers me now, is the static look of the noise in the light shaft...

glad tartan Jun 8, 2020, 4:18 PM

#

@coarse schooner Keep in mind that the volumetric fog smooths out while the game is playing. If you are just looking at the scene view or the game view and not in play mode you will see the noise stand out a lot more. Also the smoothing filter takes up performance so if you didnt see how it looks before applying it you should maybe it's fine and you dont need it.

any tricks for getting transparent objects in urp? I've got a texture with a low alpha, I'm generating transparency from the alpha, I've got the material set to be transparent, but the object always renders opaque... just switched to urp, and quite confused 😦

rich spade Jun 8, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

@desert wharf post a screenshot of the material settings, might be something simple.

turbid matrix Jun 8, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

@desert wharf Id doesn't check the texture

#

like, make sure it really has the alpha

desert wharf Jun 8, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

Ill try that. Like, the texture looks transparent: shows me the checkerboard

turbid matrix Jun 8, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

also you should see it being transparent if you just tweak the alpha from color like you've done there

#

desert wharf Jun 8, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

I thought so. That's def how it worked before I installed urp

turbid matrix Jun 8, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

📎 unknown.png

#

this is from URP template

#

so, no idea why it's not working for you

desert wharf Jun 8, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

k, I just installed urp

#

imma go over the settings?

turbid matrix Jun 8, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

that's actually from material you're assigned to the mesh renderer?

#

or did you tweak the material from project files?

desert wharf Jun 8, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

that's definitely the material i'm assigning tot he mesh

#

this is the test texture I've been trying this with

#

📎 Capture1.PNG

#

there's gotta be something wrong with the material, as the thumbnail's not transparent at all

#

📎 Capture3.PNG

desert wharf Jun 8, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

i've made... some progress? Though, now I'm more confused than ever

#

if the transparent object is really close to the camera, it is indeed transparent

#

but unless it's reaaally close, it's opaque

#

it's not shading the objects behind it at all, when it is transparent

#

i'm gonna switch to hdrp, and see if I get better behavior

#

(I've got the hybrid renderer v2 running, btw)

#

I probably should've mentioned that earlier

#

this issue doesn't seem to be present in hdrp

#

sorry to have bothered everyone 😄

glad tartan Jun 8, 2020, 6:57 PM

#

Hybrid Renderer v2 is more advanced for HDRP than URP so things will work with it before working with URP

hi guys so i guess this is where i should ask

#

i have this problem

#

with hdrp materials

#

i upgraded them from pink and now they are gray

#

and i cant find any fix

#

what should i do

#

📎 Screenshot_102.png

drifting vault Jun 8, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

@zenith vortex can you show me materials properties before upgrading?

zenith vortex Jun 8, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

uh that might be a problem because i dont think i can make a printscreen to their properties before upgrading

drifting vault Jun 8, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

well it was standard or other?

#

mobile/diffuse etc?

zenith vortex Jun 8, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

it was standard yes

drifting vault Jun 8, 2020, 8:54 PM

your check your exposure settings
