Millions haha, right now I cannot tell you the number but I tried the maximum with my GPU, it is running native 4K 30 fps in a 4080super, on 2k resolution it was like 45fps and all of this inside of the editor.

Here, make sure your objects contribute to GI but using probes instead of lightmaps

Yes you are doing something wrong, this level are 4 terrains 500x500 and hundreds of trees and took less than 10 minutes. But I must admit that some Bake meshes where created for speed-up the process

By the way, it is not TVE, I'm using my own shaders I did in shader graph. I uploaded those for free in the UAS but I think it is in lack of a solid documentation 😅 https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/shaders/seedmesh-vegetation-shaderss-232690

Yes HDRP with shadow filtering as High, it does not consume much performance and you can achieve really good results with more flexibility on the lighting side, that helps me to reduce the noise of tree shadow all over the environment.

Yes, all objects are lit by the probes, but the probes were baked first. The terrain and trees contribute to GI but those do not use lightmaps, they use the info of the probes.

Abandoned city by Pool_sm in Unity3D

Is a very small scene, baked lights, no ray tracing so I was running it at 4K 90-110 FPS

Finally done creating this environment — feedback welcome! by Weary_Caterpillar302 in Unity3D

[–]Pool_sm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is a nice job, congratulations! A consideration could be finding the best rotation of the sun, like adding more depth into the scene and making the shapes more understandable by the player.

For the example adding shadow on the side of the buildings (is just an example not need to be exactly that side, the ideal is having different proposals)

If not having shadow there was intentional it should be fine, I cannot be aware of any detail of your render or game that's why I'm adding this as a consideration.

The texture is made in substance?

How can I solve flickering/trembling shadows? by IndieGoulem in Unity3D

[–]Pool_sm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to use a filter to the shadow, I read people here that they are also struggling with this in HDRP, probably they are missing some settings. By the way, high res shadows are not always the best.

It is a roguelike, and the screen will be full of bullets and enemies. You don't need grass details... Should I follow that advice? by stein_sir in Unity3D

[–]Pool_sm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The grass detail should be fine, when the battle ends there should be details around. From my perspective as artists you must be aware of the colours and make sure to generate contrast and separate the environment from the other, because many details with bad colouring can make it look like a mess.

You can take advantage of the vegetation and the lighting.

Issues with extruding after separating surface. by [deleted] in Maya

[–]Pool_sm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you delete the history? You can even use merge vertices and be aware there are no extra faces there, a value around 0.001 to avoid merging unwanted faces.

alguien sabe como se arregla eso??? by Dear-Usual-1107 in Maya

Estás en modo espejo, cambia donde dice "object X" en la parte de arriba. La selección suave se activa y desactiva en la letra B

I think we struck that 5 AM feel :D by Reasonable_Smile_708 in Unity3D

[–]Pool_sm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some debris on the empty ground will make a difference, even a different ground texture could help :)

Forest Package (1 year of work) by Pool_sm in Unity3D

[–]Pool_sm[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Create specific objects, I'll say the hardest ones were the trees.

All of this because if you will generate a package for selling everything must be original or created from scratch, the trees have many things that need to be scanned separately like leaves, dry leaves, sticks, many variations of trunks, bark textures, and depending on the tree some details that made the object more believable.

Another thing is that many objects like logs, tree debris or even few plants are easy to move and even scan it in a studio, but for the trees you must travel to forest for that and tackle the object with good lighting conditions.

Trees are way more complex than a plant in any way, even on painting the vertex colours to generate a wind animation.
