NEW IN 3.1 - SCROLLED ENVIROMENT ON CAR !

If you have any feature requests let me know we will add it in next update.

 

reserved

 

Really nice... are there any scenes or cars that come with the package?

 

Yes scene with balls and scene with car(including car model and rims model) comes with package!

 

I would be nice to see your cars or models with this shaders in game. Post some screens if you have it

 

Looks amazing. Put it on my shopping list

 

Thanks. What I wanna hear from you guys is what other shader options you wanna me to add? Like LOW version for far objects or something different?

 

Upcoming update :
- new shader with reflection mask

 

Is the mobile version released yet? If not any time frame for release?

 

Yes this topic is for Mobile Version (as well as link to asset store and photos). Desktop version of shader have different topic and different asset store link

 

The link to the Asset Store doesn't go to anything...it appears broken.

 

Fixed. I used link provided by Unity - but it stop work from some reason - anyway now should work - check it out

 

Version 1.1 on its way to Asset Store.

4 new shaders

- Car Paint High Detail with Reflection Mask
- Car Paint Medium Detail with Reflection Mask
- Car Paint High Detail with Reflection Color Mask
- Car Paint Medium Detail with Reflection Color Mask

 

Is that a 3000 gt model? If so, is it available in a car pack you created? Btw this looks like a great set of shaders!

 

Hi Thanks! And yes its 3000gt model and it is only available in this asset. Non of my car pack have this one - but if you will buy our car pack - hit me on priv - I will send you 3000gt also

 

We just purchased those shaders. And it seems that those shaders does not work with Light Probes. Since this is mobile shader, light probes support is essential, I think.

 

Hello, Good point - and no problem at all - I will make light probe support for those shaders.
Expect on a update in few days

Like I always saying - if you guys have any request - let me know and I will add it.

 

Very quick reply.
I hope specular lighting will work with light probes too. (In our old car shader it is't.)

 

So first approach to light probes and we have success :




Sphere over car uses Mobile/Diffuse (to compare results)
And of course you have your specular working also

Now I need few hours to make all main shaders with light probes support, and I will upload update into Asset Store.

 

Update 1.2 on Asset Store

Added probes support for 4 shaders :
- Car Paint High
- Car Paint Medium
- Car Glass
- Car Chrome

Final probes screenshot :

 

Just bought a copy, do you have any simpler versions of the shader?

I can't have more than 1-2 cars on an iPod 4 without the framerate dropping significantly.

 

In our project we use only baked lightning (lightmaps light probes). In your light probes test scene directional light is tuned on. Without it car is more darkness (increasing lightprobe influence scale make car white, not car color) and without specular. Here is your scene without directional light.


And DuoColor shader not have lightprobe support :cry:

Desired brightness may be done with ambient color, instead if directional light, but no specular.

 

Can you place one Directional Light and make it only affect car layer? Shader don't use fake specular thats why directional light is important.

About DuoColor I can add light probes support to that also - just tell me if you need it.

iPod 4 is like iPhone4 right? Big screen, cpu from 3gs? I can make simpler version (LOW) but it will start look like Mobile/Specular I guess I can give a try to make LOW version of shader.

 

Yes we need it.

About speculars I understand

 

As requested (Prophet6989 trooper) we made new 1.3 version :

1.3
Added Duo Color to Light Probes shaders
Added Low Version of Car Paint Shader and Paint Shader Alpha

 

Hi, could I please ask if you have a shader which supports transparency (diffuse + normal) + cubemap for reflection in the shader package. Thanks.

 

Yes, Car Paint Shader with Alpha is the name of this shader.

But to clear out - you need have holed in "car" or be all transparent (set via Color alpha) ?

 

I just need the glass covers of the headlamps which are currently with transparent texture only to have a reflection from a cube map. Same goes for the windows of the car. I basically only need my default transparent material to have a slot for a cubemap. Somehow, it's missing from Unity. Here's an example: http://www.bmw.in/in/en/newvehicles/z4/z4/2009/allfacts/ergonomics/_shared/img/lights.jpg. The thin white line you see on the glass.

Thanks.

 

Yes we have shader like this. Glass with Cubemap or Car Paint Shader with Alpha (you get all effect from normal Paint Shader - flakes, fresnel, shading + alpha), so you can choose one from two (Glass shader will look also great on headlamps - have glassy look and special reflection math formula).

 

Thanks. I'm buying it.

 

Glass shader with normal would be too expensive for Mobile (there is one in Desktop version of shader - with texture and normal map). I can send you this if you think will not kill your gpu on Mobile. Just send me PM.

Why Car Paint with Alpha does not suit your needs? What you need in there more?
If you could answer - we can make custom version of this shader to make it work like you wanna to.

 

PM sent. I'd like to thank for the fast support!

 

Please, add Car Glass with the diffuse texture.

 

OK - in next update you will have that shader in pack.

 

Hi!

I just bought your mobile car shaders! I think it's very good indeed! Actually it's the best for Unity mobile! BUT!
I want to make white cars and other bright colors like bright citrus yellow. Sadly the brightest color I can set is some kind of mid-gray.

How can I set something like these:
http://topcarsport.com/wp-content/u...ers-vehicles-cars-audi-a5-cabriolet-white.jpg
http://wallpaper.pickywallpapers.com/1920x1080/white-audi-a5-2010.jpg

I experimented with:
- Very bright refmaps (not good for dark colors)
- Directional lights (blows out highlights)
- Ambient color (blows out other materials)

The best results I got so far in case of white is to max up everything but it's still not the look I'm searching for. The other problem is that I want to blend between colors runtime but to switch from white to a dark color is problemematic because I should also switch refmaps and set new ambient what I really don't want to do.

What m I doing wrong? Or is it impossible to get bright colors right now with your shaders?

2nd, a feature request:
Is it possible to somehow fake HDR reflection highlights in a future update. (Mobile optimized of course )
I know mobile gfx chips can't handle HDR, but sometimes small blownout highlights are required, like spotlight or neon stripe reflections on the car. Maybe a second refmap with grayscale highlight information? I'm no expert just guessing. I'm dreaming on an artist frindly solution...

Neon highlights examples:

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

Shaders depend on light and ambient in scene - there is no "emmisive" factor - but I can add it if you wanna.
Those photos with cars all white is in studio (full of lights) + hdr photo.

Generally in AAA racing games cars are rendered on different camera that have different post process settings from scene camera (more bloom, different levels settings) - you can easly see it in all Need for Speed series. I know - its mobile we speaking about. What you can do? Besides splitting into 2 cameras (one for cars, one for scene), all you can you did already - ambient, refs, directional.

I make fast setup and its of course possible to have white color (not pure because its not unlit shader )

As you can see ambient is at normal lebel cause wheel rubber is still black.

If you need bonus emmisive shader - let me know I will make it in next update (with car glass with diff texture that was requested before)

 

I have same problems with the shaders with i have bought there. The farther away is the center of the world, the more clearly you can see the big problems with the precisions of the calculations in the shaders.

 

What position we speak about (or distance from 0,0,0)?
We can make high detail shader have more precise calculation, but low will stay like now.

 

The car stands at the position (-18, 0, 576) at the screenshot.

 

And which shader are you using? Becasue from shot I cant see much
p.s great too see carX using our shaders

I run some tests and I dont see any difference at my scene.
First shot is 0,0,0 (around this)
and second is 0,0,-5000

 

Version 1.4 submitted to Asset Store

Changes :

1.4 Added Car Glass shader with Diffuse Texture (request)
Fixed High Quality shaders
Fixed all shaders for calculation precision at larger world positions
Better sample car materials

 

Hi!

Thanks for the fast reply! I was a bit busy lately sorry, but I'm here...

A bonus emmisive shader would be good! I don't know how it would look, but let's give it a try! Maybe I can reproduce the white car effect with it... by the way I' using the LowDetail version of your shader.

What is your oppinion about my other question? The fake HDR for mobile? Yesterday I read about SkyShop Tools for Unity: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/173412-Skyshop-Image-Based-Lighting-Tools
This guy uses a method he calls "RGBM textures".

So he plans mobile compatibility as well!

What do you think? Is there any possibility from your part to make your shaders compatible with SkyShop Tools, or is it possible for you to implement a similar solution to RGBM (fake) HDR refmap?

If it is too much work, maybe in a different product...

Thank you for your hard work! and thank you for your great support in the forums!

L.

 

Great! Thanks. I guess, we have to wait a bit until it's approved, since it's still 1.3 in the store?

 

Tomorrow should be on Asset Store. Car Shader for Desktop was approved today, and Ive submitted it day before Mobile version.

Yeah I was waiting for your answer before submitting new version but no problem - I can add some kind of "bonus light version" of shader so you should be able to achieve fake HDR with it. I will give it a try today and post some screenshots later ok?

edit : Ive made hdr version of Low Shader - take a look :


About SkyShop - I saw on screen he have special shaders for materials so I guess if the mobile version will go out - I need write to him to help me make one that support SkyShop. And maybe he will not wanna share this code of his ... So dont count on it now

Thanks for good work about our job. It would be super sweet if you can leave some comment on Asset Store

 

Thank you very much Sir! I'll give it a big try once it's available in the store...

Let's hope he's a nice guy... I beleive in sharing knowlage and in collaboration!

I will!

Let us make like this - send me PM with invoice number and I will send you back this shader. Will be faster like this.

 

Bought it, looking forward to using it.

 

This has lightmap support right?

Seems like a stupid question and it's obvious that it should, but I didn't see it listed in your initial post so just making sure.

 

Good question. I made those shaders too maintain maximum speed with good quality. And those shaders are made especialy for cars so we was thinking that car always is in move at games. So no with this shaders you will not have lightmap. We can add it as separate shader but this will slow it down. What for exactly you need lightmaping? Some kind of static showroom ?

 

Yah pretty much, showing off static models.

Also do these have a channel that can take a normal map? Maybe not full normal mapping, but just bend the cubemap around the normal map?
