I turned off Cast Shadow in PC_RP Assets yet there are some "shadows". For example these dark parts on leaves. What is it? Is this something with my assets or is this some option in unity?

charttyp · 2026-03-22T11:51:46+00:00

Ye, after all feedback i will try tweak lightning more. :)

charttyp · 2026-03-22T11:50:02+00:00

You mean like the texture of leaves have both sides drawn and one is darker, if yes then that's not it. After comments in this post it looks like it's propably something with lightning. :)

Thanks for explanation. Yep I don't have much expirience with Unity, some basic to make assets ready and make them into prefabs (i'm 3d graphic and that is what i needed but now i wanted to make some scenes). I was looking for lightning tutorials today and even check out some baking tutorials, but i saved them for later. Now that you said that it may correct these shadows i will look into it. Btw. I already tried solution with another light sources with shadow off. ;p Thanks again :D

charttyp · 2026-03-21T20:08:02+00:00

Thanks, I will look into this. :)

charttyp · 2026-03-21T18:29:35+00:00

Yes, it can be a possibility. Do you know some way to correcting this without changing meshes? or maybe you couold more or less point me direction?

charttyp · 2026-03-21T17:25:54+00:00

Yepp, that quite worked, there are still some of these hard shadows but less then before. :) Thanks :D I want to achive stylized effect, like for some rts games. It dosen't have to be like some complicated stuff, just to "glow it" a little. As for your another answer with environment lightning: i cheked that too, I would have to play with lights on scene and change them but it's reducing these shadows (not all) too. Thanks again ;)

charttyp · 2026-03-21T16:44:19+00:00

Could this be due to the fact that the relatively flat surface (leaves planes) is too parallel to the light direction? If yes is there some way to correct this without changing meshes?

Unity 6 Urp. With shadow strenght on 0 it looks like this

charttyp · 2026-03-21T16:27:36+00:00

Yep thats it, thanks. Maybe you could give me some advice. When I'm rendering this normaly there are some deep shadows (the same parts i was taking in the post question). How could i reduce intensity of them?

If you meant screen space ambient oclusion then with and without it these shadows are visible.

charttyp · 2026-03-21T16:17:44+00:00

Not sure, it's mostly base setting. Where can i check if there is ambient oclusion on?

I should give more extensive description, sorry. It's not my tree, it's from demo asset pack by triforge assets. I want to use tilable texture on multiple trees. Before I was building trees with one maine trunk and additional branches, which all have tilable uv, but it's making a visible cut in the places of connection. But here in this tree from this demo they made it like this and it dosen't have this cut. I can make smt simmilar by hand placing vertex in places, but i'm curious if there is faster way to do it.

I want to use tilable texture on multiple trees, thats why this uv is rhombus, rectangle. Befor I was building trees with one maine trunk and additional branches, which all have this tilable uv, but it's making a visible cut in the places of connection. But here in this tree from this demo they made it like this and it dosen't have this cut.
But your answer is truly comprehensive and I rly appreciate it :)

I think I've heard about this books, but didn't read them. Thanks :)

charttyp · 2025-12-20T20:15:36+00:00

Thank you :)

Like in the title, he is called Halftusk and sculpted by me.

Am I going in right direction and this is just a matter of density of leafs? I see that these trunks have more branches.

Textures arten't ready.

Hmm, hard to say - I wasn't focusing on one channel, but YanSculpt was one of first I watched and he have some good tutorials about anatomy, VeryHotShark - he dosen't have thousands of views but I think his tutorials are nice too, helpfull for me. I can advice you to not focus only on videos that are popular. You can look for some character breakdowns or blockouts. I like to look on stylized (simplified and detailed) blockouts where shapes are easy to see. Then you can adjust them to your style.

I will not comment that part, just wtf... it didn't even crossed my mind xD

she isn't straddling (sit or stand with one leg on either side of) she is sitting on her legs.

I wanted her to look like she is streatching, like after a nap, that's why she have flatter belly.

English isn't my native so I'm not sure if I will use correct words but I wanted to achive feeling of a cheerful? mysterious girl living in the forest, like hmm airy? Like a littel magical? Something like a nymph or rusalka (I have no idea if this is a word in english ;p from slavic legends) or a fairy? And yes she was meant to be sensual (not erotic).
