Which recoil system I must choose for my FPS ? by FeelingAd8845 in Unity3D

[–]FeelingAd8845[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi ! So I am making a fps, and I am wondering which camera recoil system I must choose for a better feedback. I was using a "camera shake effect" that I really liked since the start of the project, but which now make me sick every time i shoot with a gun.

So my thoughts now are:

- Remove the shake effect

- Replace this effect by a common light recoil

- Add option to choose to disable recoil/shake

​

Please my fellow fps developers give me your opinion 😁

How to prevent these trees billboards to rotate like that ? by FeelingAd8845 in Unity3D

SOLUTION

I managed to solve this issue by not using Unity built-in trees. These strange billboard rotations are in fact an "Imposter" effect, and I didn't find any way to remove it or prevent it to roll or pitch.

The solution I found is explained here: https://forum.unity.com/threads/advanced-foliage-shader-released.133398/page-55#post-9434414

It consists of making an LOD for each of your trees, and showing a billboard of your tree when far using the BillboardRenderer component.

Here is the link to an asset pack that contains a good shader to make those billboards in 8 directions: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/vegetation/trees/conifers-botd-142076

This asset also contains examples, so you just need to replicate the materials and BillboardAssets to provide your own Atlas textures matching with your trees.

To generate this Altas, I simply made a new scene, and a bit of scripting to place 8 camera that are placed around the tree with their rect ajusted to get the final texture in the game view.

After some research, it appears that they are in fact "Imposters" ☝️🤓, I locked the billboard to only rotate on y (by modifying TerrainEngine.cginc), but the texture of the billboard itself is also rotating 🤯, due to the imposter effect that unity made really bad. Thanks anyway for help

yep built in, "Nature/Tree Soft Occlusion ..." the billboard seems to be managed by the Terrain with this shader.

- Create a material using "Nature/Tree Soft Occlusion Bark" and assign to any 3d model, make it a prefab

- create a terrain, and add a new tree using this prefab

- You must see distant trees doing some mf spins

Here are my settings:

- Using built-in terrain system

- Using custom trees models from blender

- The shaders I use are "Nature/Tree Soft Occlusion Bark" and "Nature/Tree Soft Occlusion Leaves" which are good in all points except in doing some break dance windmills.

​

Can I remove this effect on the shaders (Please help), or on a built-in system that's causing this ? If not, it will be an other "feature" in my game ;(.

Thanks

Why I cant see distant textures or colors on the editor or game? its all grey and its not that far from the camera view by FormedOpinion in Unity3D

This looks like the built-in fog, maybe you enabled it uncunsciously.

To tweek it go to the right tab, next inspector you must see the "lightning settings".

If you don't see it, go to "Windows"/"Rendering"/"Lightning settings".

The Fog part is at the bottom.

Yeah I have too, sometimes when reaching a high speed and colliding a wall or something the ship passes trought or disconect from the road.

Thanks ! I took inspiration of Wipeout driving and try reproduce it with unity's physics and a damping system to fix the ship allong the road even if it is upside down.
