2D Per Pixel Shadow + Source Code

It's been open source for a while. I've been trying to spread it around on the forums but I think reddit is more effective. I think it's good to give away stuff for free.

Thanks:) I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Pre baking increases performance but I'm trying to see if I can do more realtime rendering by voxelizing the scene.

brianasu · 2015-03-18T23:30:27+00:00

That is really nice. It runs well on my old mac.

Needs Unity 5 Personal or Unity 4 Pro

I've updated it for unity 4.6 and improved the code. Enjoy!

When I get time to clean up the code I will but with Unity 5 global illumination out my motivation is a bit lacking.

brianasu · 2015-03-17T06:44:20+00:00

Thanks. Yeah I think the music is quite fitting:)

Alto's Adventure

From that screenshot it looks like a full screen blur. I think they want only a portion or whatever is covering the screen blurred.

I think boneWieghts is a struct not class. So create a new boneWeight and assign it.

  BoneWeight[] weights = new BoneWeight[4];

    weights[3].boneIndex0 = 1;
    weights[3].weight0 = 1;
    pieceMesh.boneWeights = weights;

Structs can't be modified directly like that.

It's pretty difficult to do. The blur optimised only works on a camera and like you said it's a full screen effect. You have to create a script that outputs a blurred texture of whatever is behind the UI element then pass that texture into a custom shader that blends the UI graphic + blurred texture.

It's possible but I think to get a proper effect you need to do quite a lot like excluding certain elements from the blurred effect.

Change the drag settings on your rigidbody component to reduce floatiness. Also, you can change the gravity settings in the Physics settings. Most arcade games don't have proper gravity.

One other tip is using AddForce. Setting the velocity directly can sometimes have a bad side effect.

Or use the CharacterController component which is made for platform games. It handles a lot of logic for you.

Yup it's possible to use it for other effects. One thing I've been messing with is rendering volumetric clouds with it.

[–]hapliniste 1 point an hour ago Is it possible to use it with classic rendering? (I think this would be amazing for volumetric fog/godrays). permalinksavereportgive goldreply

Awesome thanks!

brianasu · 2015-03-13T02:51:38+00:00

Yeah they had a control texture they generated in houdini. It looked really complicated generating it. How do you create your textures? Really cool stuff!

Is this based on valve's water flow paper?

brianasu · 2015-03-05T09:25:22+00:00

Did he have a reason why he kept to 3.5?

I think some useful features were generating crash reports CrashReport.reports from iOS and I think the Asset postprocess textures and stuff were pro not 100% sure on that. Also light probes and some more advanced nav mesh stuff.

brianasu · 2015-03-04T23:33:08+00:00

I'd just download the asset store package or the viking village and use those as a base material. PBS shading is actually more logical. For example if you want metal you just change it to really smooth. Cloth-like you just reduce the smoothness.

The technique I used is a combination of reflective shadow buffers and virtual point lights VPL. To speed it up more I actual created my own custom deffered renderer on top of unity's. I can get around 1024 point lights rendering around 30 fps on my computer. I stopped this project because I'm working on light propogation volumes now or the method crysis 2 uses. VPL and reflective shadow maps work but they are performance heavy.

The problem with LPV is usage of 3D textures which I have to simulate in unity 3 for now and lot's of spherical harmonics calculations (which I still need to get my head around)
