Cinematic Image Effects (Pre Release) package

It's funny that you have to wait the approval from the asset store, even if you are working at UT

 

I was more surprised how short the projected approval time is, that already seems like the "fast lane" compared to what other asset publishers report ^^.

 

Updates for quite a lot of non-Unity assets I own come through quite quickly sometimes.

 

I am sorry, still cannot figure out a perfect solution. It is almost impossible to have no transparent texture in a game, at least I need some for particles. The current way I use is using another camera for particles putting in another layer, but still there is depth problem. Any way to ask AO ignoring certain gameobject or material? Thanks,

 

Could you include a tiny example scene displaying all the effects?
I am quite new to Unity and still figuring out how you do things. You would probably need like half an hour for a very basic scene, but I try and try and try and try and ...

...I found a sample scene in the bitbucket download. The assetstore pack does not have one.

 

hmm any tutorial on doing this? I don't mind it being complicated so long as the end result and performance doing it isn't bad... I'm getting the feeling the performance would suck to have any decent screen resolution and quality out of this rendertexture method?

AO- zero settings for falloff distance cutoff near or far with fade radius.. really should be settings for that included for tuning an effect like this, and both those options are in Unreal and Cryengine for built in AO.

AA- the debug passes completely flip the image upside down... not useful if it does that really.

 

Is it possible to get SSR reflections in transparent materials such as glass? It would be nice to avoid reflection probes in addition to SSR.

 

I would also love to see the SSR working on transparent materials for ocean/water. Right now, when I switch the reflection cube in the sample scene to transparent shader, all image effects from the pack disappear.
This pack here manages SSR on transparent materials.

Have you tried this asset, and if so how is performance and quality compared to cinematic image effects' SSR? Also, do you know if it works in latest version of Unity? (saw that their latest update was one year ago)

 

Regarding the assetstore SSR Pack, I have not tried myself yet, but Ceto support was so friendly and tried after Plawius from the assetstore SSR donated a free key for experimenting. It works on SSR, that's the good news. However Ceto support was saying it was not working so well, but mainly due to overall limitations of SSR on large scenes. The attached screenshot is what Ceto support managed to get out. Maybe with more tweaking and trying it works.

 

Are mobile and console optimizations planned? (Or is it even optimized already?)

 

But you need reflection probes with SSR or you never get anything from offscreen, and it looks odd.

 

Any ETA when AA and tonemapping / color grading will support single pass stereo?

 

can you add ssil to the ssao as an option

 

Hi @Tim-C Just curious what happened with they stylistic - fog image effect, i mean the status are still in alpha.
Is it practically production ready?

 

How close are we to a final release?

 

Will you ever combine them into one stack (except ofc AA), as is customary in the trade to achieve better rendering speed?

 

Ah okay, it just i would like to modify it with some simple atmospheric scattering (without shadowing). Except if that is already in the plan for stylistic fog .
Regarding of fog is it support transparent objects?

 

I'd also love to know this! So far this is the only real drawback for me. In a scene with lots of glass in it, it kind of hinders the immersion because the non-ssr glass objects look out of place.

 

It does not work with the new beta 5.5.0b1
(Missing shader....)

 

yep, sorry, SSR shader.
Now it's work, thank you

 

Can anyone tell me how to access the gamma property of TonemappingColorGrading from another script? Can't quite get my head around it. I want to change the gamma programmatically with a UI slider. Something like 'MyTonemappingColorGradingVariable.colorGrading.basics.gamma = 0.5f;' fails because colorGrading is not a variable.

 

Code (CSharp):

1. GetComponent<TonemappingColorGrading>().m_ColorGrading.basics.gamma

...but you will need to make m_ColorGrading public.

 

Works great, thanks.

 

It is absolutely possible to have SSR on transparent sufaces by shader modification. The post #565 above uses SSR on an transparent ocean surface. Would be great if Unity did this as well in their SSR pack.
The SSR pack used in the above screenshot in post #565 is this one here https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/15152

Also many games do it (GTA5, AC4,...). So from a 'management' point of view I can not accept this answer when there is obviously a way to do it! Meeting adjourned

 

will we get a proper planar reflection effect soonish?

 

planar reflection are supported by the unity standard water asset if im not wrong

 

I still miss some brief documentation on using the effects.
At least requirements, limitations and platform/hardware compatibility for each one.

 

Yes, you are right. I did not see this. It is in the opaque queue. I have not done it myself, Justin from CETO Ocean tried the SSR pack after the SSR package creator was kind enough to donate one pack for experimenting.

 

Just tested out Lens Dirt effect that was implemented in bloom recently. It's really gorgeous. Good job!

 

How does it compare to Scion in performance and look?

 

I think it's better in Cinematic Bloom. I think it's much more prettier due to the "soft knee".

 

If that's the case, and in the future they also combine all into one asset for optimized performance, I guess this might possibly make Scion and other similar packages obsolete.
I'll need to give it a try myself some time. Thanks for your thoughts on this.

 

Trying to use the DOF effect in a test scene and its not working correctly, part of an object is being blurred correctly but other parts arn't, I've attached two grabs showing the problem and with the DOF visualize option on, can anyone help as to why the middle part of the object is not blurred correctly?

 

TАA works only with standard shader?
All objects with non-standard shaders have jitter effect.
Can I fix it?

 

All objects with non-standard or all transparent objects? I suspect that with transparent shaders there's a technical limitation that makes TAA unviable, I've noticed the problem as well, on line-renderers.

 

I'm off for several months to read up on C# encapsulation...

 

Edited in order not to confuse anyone.

 

Do you have an actual before and after, since it's basically the same technique - so is there a bug that needs to be reported?

Obviously, given it's been updated, you'll need to check the settings are the same. Probably they aren't.
