Making a new scene and placing a cube, the cube is not purple

manic flume Jun 8, 2023, 5:44 PM

#

oh, i missed this thread

#

also check here

#

i feel like you have a busted reflection probe

surreal spoke Jun 8, 2023, 5:45 PM

#

Nope

#

reflections are disabled on the material anyway

#

manic flume Jun 8, 2023, 5:45 PM

#

did you also check the Environment tab?

#

i forget

surreal spoke Jun 8, 2023, 5:46 PM

#

#

Skybox material is default, environmental reflections are off on the materials anyway

#

wait

manic flume Jun 8, 2023, 5:47 PM

#

try removing the skybox anyway

surreal spoke Jun 8, 2023, 5:47 PM

#

turning ON the reflections suddenly makes it normal??

#

#

what the fuck

manic flume Jun 8, 2023, 5:47 PM

#

i forget exactly how it works back in the built-in render pipeline

#

it needs to get its indirect lighting from somewhere

#

lemme have a look in a core RP project

#

i almost exclusively do HDRP/URP

what shader is that?

surreal spoke Jun 8, 2023, 5:49 PM

#

manic flume what shader is that?

URP Lit

manic flume Jun 8, 2023, 5:49 PM

#

ahh, this is urp

#

If you have Environment Reflections off, it should sample from the ambient light probe

surreal spoke Jun 8, 2023, 5:50 PM

#

manic flume If you have Environment Reflections off, it should sample from the ambient light...

what is the ambient light probe

#

Ambient color is black

#

I've never had a problem with these materials before btw

manic flume Jun 8, 2023, 5:52 PM

#

do you have any light probes and/or reflection probes in your scene?

surreal spoke Jun 8, 2023, 5:52 PM

#

manic flume do you have any light probes and/or reflection probes in your scene?

nope

manic flume Jun 8, 2023, 5:52 PM

#

and have you ever generated lighting?

#

from that Lighting menu, where you bake lightmaps

surreal spoke Jun 8, 2023, 5:53 PM

#

manic flume from that Lighting menu, where you bake lightmaps

How would that affect the material?

#

The material preview is completely seperate from the scene

#

manic flume Jun 8, 2023, 5:54 PM

#

surreal spoke what is the ambient light probe

I'm not really sure how it decides what kind of environment to render the material preview in

#

oops, wrong reply

manic flume Jun 8, 2023, 5:55 PM

#

surreal spoke what is the ambient light probe

it's an auto-generated light probe that captures the environment lighting

surreal spoke Jun 8, 2023, 5:55 PM

#

#

here

manic flume Jun 8, 2023, 5:55 PM

#

so, the (possibly directional) light of your skybox

surreal spoke Jun 8, 2023, 5:55 PM

#

im in a scene with literally nothing but a cube

#

no lighting settings, no baked lighting, nothing

#

#

#

i put the material on the cube, it is blueish

manic flume Jun 8, 2023, 5:56 PM

#

does a freshly-created material behave the same way?

surreal spoke Jun 8, 2023, 5:56 PM

#

manic flume does a freshly-created material behave the same way?

Any material with environmental reflections turned off behaves this way

#

oh here i have the perfect example

#

Environmental Reflections on

#

Environmental reflections off

manic flume Jun 8, 2023, 5:57 PM

#

it definitely looks like what'd happen if you used an error shader as your skybox

#

but that's obviously not the case in that scene

#

it feels like Unity has gotten stuck using an incorrect color

#

i'd Reimport-All it and see if the behavior persists

surreal spoke Jun 8, 2023, 5:59 PM

#

ok reimporting all

manic flume Jun 8, 2023, 6:00 PM

#

i'm trying to remember if i've ever seen this before or not

surreal spoke Jun 8, 2023, 6:07 PM

#

manic flume i'm trying to remember if i've ever seen this before or not

manic flume Jun 8, 2023, 6:07 PM

#

well, look at the console

surreal spoke Jun 8, 2023, 6:07 PM

#

#

shader errors, but not for the shader im using

manic flume Jun 8, 2023, 6:08 PM

#

you can probably just ignore them, then

#

they'll pop up when unity compiles the shader

#

everything got recompiled, so all of the shaders complained

surreal spoke Jun 8, 2023, 6:08 PM

#

This one seems bad
