Subscene main thread baking

[slim osprey]

Hi all.

• Is there an option to force rebake of closed subscene in main thread, instead of background working thread? I am basically need to execute live baking for closed subscene rebake (by build, or by "Reimport" button press).
• Is it possible to debug using debugger (breakpoints) of closed subscene rebake process?

1. No
2. Yes: just attach debugger to background unity instance

tbh not sure why open subscene doesn't do a trick for you. Outside of play mode as you open it, it's like 1 to 1 what happens in clean scene bake

I am in a very tricky situation. I need PlayableGraph manipulation during baking time. It works good in live bake, but have an issues during baking in background. And I am searching possibilities to overcome this somehow.

[tardy island]

how exactly are you using it though?

Locking editor to rebake on main thread doesn't sound like a good solution

[tardy island]

separate unity instance doesn't have any Object connections to editor one afaik

I know. But I am out of ideas right now, so this "dumb" ideas appear 🙂 Maybe from after dumb something clever can arrive.

Here is the story. I have spent several months deciphering humanoid hips (humanoid rig root bone) position and rotation calculation formulas. All papers and related forums posts are read countless number of times. But I was out of luck there. So I decided to "play" animations and record transform and represent recorded data as animation track. This approach behave really well, until I discovered that PlayableGraph (I am using it to play animation) is not moving GameObject bones when called from background baking thread. And I am searching for solution.

huh

wonder if you can start another Unity instance in backrgound unity instance to simulate playable graph 🤣

have you looked into prefab scene view mode?

this is game object that gets played back in edit time

so potentially there's some API that can achieve the same?

Can I read about it somewhere? About prefab scene view mode

[tardy island]

I have no idea about it

but since entities do it

maybe it is exposed in some way in C# side

[slim osprey]

Thanks, I will dig a little.

BakingUtility.BakeScene is what gets called to bake closed subscene

but this is already running in backrgound

What do you mean with this exactly? I'm not sure I follow

[tardy island]

Meaning, it's literally as if you open multiple unity instances

you can't get Object reference to other unity instance
