>> Unity 5.4 big bug <<

There is an awful bug on unity 5.4 versions.
Create a new scene with a terrain and then try to get distance from it (about 30000 or 40000) and then put a model on the scene to see how it will looks like! look at below pic it will shows the bug.

 

The question is, is it an intended internal change to how certain things should be handled in shader, or just a bug. Hopefully the Unity team can shed some light. If the team needs another example of a shader that runs into issues with this, they can check out this asset from the Unity store

distance is 30000 or 40000 unit?? getting floating point errors at that distance?

 

thats not a bug so much as a limitation of Unity. Unity does not have a good way to recenter the world at origin, thus you get floating point precision errors when out that far.

 

This issue doesn't exist on Unity 5.3.5 f1, so yes it's a BUG!

 

Did you submit a bug-report?

 

I've done that before, just I couldn't attach project file because of my internet problem, but that won't be hard to reproduce it again as I said.

Case 810351

 

i can confirm I get this with the pre-integrated skin shader. however I do not get it during forward rendering, only during deferred, but I am not at 30k like the other guy was, I am pretty close to the character.

 

@sgtkoolaid

The other bug is marked resolved and the user seems to agree according to the bug report.

So, sounds different and could use a bug report for what you're seeing.

 

hmmm interesting. let me check again.

 

just checked no longer getting that issue. wierd.
