Post FX Studio v2.0 [ RELEASED ]

Is it possible to achieve a full-screen Dithering effect with Post FX? Similar to the Wiki: http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php/Dithering_Shader

 

There is no true dithering effect option in right now, ( would be easy to add, ill put that on my todo list )

But there are a few ways you could get a similar effect, by using masks or overlay textures using various blend modes.

-Scott

 

Gotcha, thanks!
What I would like to achieve would likely be a full-screen dither. Having pixels be "alive" as things happen in sprite animations and such.

For example:

You will notice some of the pixels jump around as the glow animation in the mask changes (slowed down for effect).

 

That seems possible

 

I heard scott has big plans for post fx studio in Unity 5 too! great stuff.

 

Lunch-boxes ! ( click to see video )

 

< this video ? look not serious !
ok i have buy and so i need evry link you can help for learn how build
in this one https://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Manual/ShaderTut2.html
if i understand good #pragma vertex vert is only acces by shader possible to do by cam ?


2 . i have add custom build copy inverse for testing
_ioRGB.xyz = lerp ( _ioRGB.xyz, ( fixed3(1,1,1) - _ioRGB.xyz), _echoInverseFade );
and nothing happen i miss somethink's


hue and sharpen request first

 

There is no uniform called _echoInverseFade that should be just _Fade in the custom code.

If you want to inverse the _Fade just: _ioRGB.xyz = lerp ( ( fixed3(1,1,1) - _ioRGB.xyz, _ioRGB.xyz ), _Fade )

Hue and Sharpen will be in a future update ( still trying to wrap up 1.1 )
( tho u can tint color now using multiply or color correct options )

Just found out having mip-mapping on textures when using post fx studio can cause a slowdown on some platforms so make sure in the textures advanced settings mip-mapping is disabled.

 

Hi,

Just to make sure I understand, do you mean "all" textures in the project must have mipmap off or only those used by Post FX Studio to create the effect (e.g. texture overlay effect...) ?

Thanks !

 

Hi guys,
What is the best way to fade in/fade out an effect with code? I want to trigger some effects with NGUI events.

EDIT:

Figured it out, to access the fade options of the first shader:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. EchoPFXManager manager = GetComponent<EchoPFXManager>();
3. manager.ergList[0].epeList[0].passOpt1[0].faceCur = 0.5; // first render group, first effect, pass 0
4.  

K.

 

Sorry for delay took a few days off

Just ones used in postfx

 

Im going to add a callback routine where u can process all your own stuff.

Do you have Skype i could show you easier more stable ways of accessing the data.

or even add methods to access it

-Scott

 

Looking for anyone with a windows 8 mobile device to test on and unity pro

Skype "echoLogin" or PM me .

 

Well i think this update is just going to be v2.0. It really is way more than 200% what v1.0 is.

Sorry its taking so long but i had so many people testing it. and that led to so many cool ideas,fixes and optimizations.

Almost there

 

Hello,

Any news to share? The next update seems like it will be really great so I'm excited to know how things are coming along.

Thanks!

 

With this plugin will I be able to add a shockwave to a region of my screen?

Or a effect similar to the Fishdom 3 when I click on the aquarium and there is a shock effect?

 

getting close its such a HUGE update after all this time im just making sure its perfect and bug free.

if u want latest beta just PM invoice # or add echoLogin to skype.

 

yes u can add shockwave anywhere on screen ... also u can add other effects at same time with it ..
If you buy it pm me your invoice or add me to skype "echoLogin" and i will send latest beta it has a lot more distortion options..

 

FYI: Just fixed all the 4.5 sterilizations warnings

 

Hi Echologin,

I was trying to use Color Correct and I get the following shader error:

"Shader error in 'echoLogin/PFX/echologin_postfx_group0_pass2': undefined variable "_ColorCorrectTex" unable to find compatible overloaded function "tex2D(error, half2)" undefined variable "_ColorCorrectTex" unable to find compatible overloaded function "tex2D(error, half2)" undefined variable "_ColorCorrectTex" unable to find compatible overloaded function "tex2D(error, half2)" at line 356"

Adding sampler2D _ColorCorrectText doesn't solves the error, but it shows everything gray. Could you you help me? Also, could you explain how the ColorCorrect text must be done (a ramp?)

Many thanks

 

Is there any update on v2.0?

 

Is this with a beta or the asset store version ?

 

Submitting 2.0 2maro night

v2.0 Readme
http://www.echologin.com/postfxDemos/_PostFXStudioReadMe.pdf

Remember this is not a fixed set of effects it is an effect maker you can combine options to make an unlimited variety of post image effects. and when using Unity Pro there is no faster solution available.

 

Awesome set of demos there, well worth the look. Speedwise runs 60fps on my own mobiles, sure but works just as well for desktop games which struggle. If anyone's curious nows the time before it goes up. Been testing this since day 1, and it's only improved since.

Kinda different approach, like stacking components, except it combines it into one pass for speed... I like it a lot.

 

Going to agree with hippocoder - been using this forever and it's unreal how fast and efficient it is. 60 FPS on my mobile devices as well. If you need any sort of effect going on screen, you HAVE to get this. The new version is a vast improvement over 1.0 (things are more clear, performance gains, etc). Scott (echoLogin) is a good guy and I just want to help get the word out.

 

Where u the one who recently added me to skype ? if not PM me your invoice # and ill send u 2.0

 

Any orders that come in on june 30th, PM me your invoice # and i will send you my other asset the CORE Framework for free.

**Deal OVER**

 

Thanks to the people who purchased POST FX Studio today . check your PM's i sent latest CORE and v2.0 of POSTFX Studio.

 

Awesome deal, just got the lastest version of Post FX and I got the link to download CORE too!! Very happy!!

Thanks, Scott!

 

Scott just sent me the latest Post FX and CORE versions as well. Great deal!

 

Anytime !

 

hi , echologin,
i buy your echofxmanager and core plugin time ago, i'm very happy , but with last unity udpate i see lots of this errors :
Serialization depth limit exceeded at '::EchoPFXOption'. There may be an object composition cycle in one or more of your serialized classes.

Is this issue resolved whit the 2.0 update?


Second Thing, i will to made a old crt-Arcade FX on mobile like the ones on mame32 glsl (scanlines + distortion+ cromatic abberations)

is possible to do with you plugin?

 

yes 2.0 adds the RGB separation (chromatic aberration ) and fixes all those 4.5 serializations errors .. PM me your invoice # and i will send you v2.0 ( or add me to Skype "echoLogin" )

what kinda distortion are you looking for ? i added many more types of distortion in 2.0 ( bulge, pinch, fisheye, ripple )

 

v2.0 video

finally going to submit

 

I finally purchased this, mainly just for grayscale on mobile. Unity's grayscale effect uses 2-4ms on iPad 2. PostFX's grayscale (with a noise effect added just for kicks) uses 0.37ms. Fantastic!

 

Cool !! hey PM me your invoice # and ill send you v2.0 its even faster ( and a ton more options )

dont i have you on skype ? you seem familiar if so just msg me

 

Never thought this day would come v2.0 is submitted !!!!!!!!!!!!

only raised price to 65 usd !

Updated the readme file a bit
http://www.echologin.com/postfxDemos/_PostFXStudioReadMe.pdf

 

I scored v2.0 from Scott and it's just amazing. Awesome package.

 

Thanks man !

BTW real time area masks are coming next ( heat over areas like fires or any effect in any combination, could have distortion plus tint or anything )

 

2.0 is live on asset store!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hi this appears to work great on android but for some reason it just makes the entire screen white on ps vita psm. Any idea why this is or how to fix it ? I know that shader forge had a similar issue where all shaders were black on ps vita until they fixed the issue so you might want to look at how they fixed the issue.

The following error shows up in the console although it does still compile and run on the vita. It's just the screen is white

Maximum number (64) of shader keywords exceeded, keyword ECHO_PFX_OVERLAY_ADD_ON will be ignored
UnityEngine.Material:set_shaderKeywords(String[])
EchoPFXRenderGroup:Render(Transform) (at Assets/echoLogin/PFX/Plugins/EchoPFXRenderGroup.cs:380)
EchoPFXManager:OnPostRender() (at Assets/echoLogin/PFX/Plugins/EchoPFXManager.cs:277)

 

how many shader options are you using ( under shader tab )
Also can u save your effects as xml ( export button ) and send that to me ? via a private msg

also is this v2.0 ? or 1.x ?

 

Just an update I think this is a unity error rather than an error with your package. I tried importing your package into an empty project opening one of your example scenes and pressing the compile post fx shaders has fixed the issue. Apparently if you have too many shaders in a project you can get this issue on ps vita. I've been playing with skyshop and shader forge so I'm guessing this is what caused it. Your package just happened to take me over that limit I guess.

 

Pretty sure that limit is per shader. are you using the Shader Fade Option = FASTER_WHEN_1at all ? that uses a lot of keywords. When using the FASTER_WHEN_1 u have to use less options per shader. ( like maybe 3 )

if you can export me that xml file i can see if its a bug in my stuff or if you're just using too many options in a single pass. if you have skype add me "echoLogin" there are other ways around this unity keyword limit in post fx studio

 

Sadly not, and unlike @IanStanbridge suspects it's also nothing to do with PSVita. This painful ridiculous archaic issue has been the topic of some debate.. sadly the best we could hope for according to @Aras was Unity upping the limit to 128 in Unity 5 ("very likely" which is still WAY too much "hopium" for my taste) --- when in fact what pretty much everyone would need nowadays (to have say SkyShop, ShaderForge, PostFX Studio, ReliefTerrain and Lux for example, totally plausible and should be FREAKIN POSSIBLE today or next month rather than next year) would be upping the limit to 512+ in Unity 4.6

 

Still if he sends me exported xml i can see what he is trying to do and come up with a work around .. there are always workarounds.
