Skyshop - Image-Based Lighting Tools

Oh! Yes that would do it. Skyshop comes bundled with a slightly newer version of Lightmapping Extended (straight from github). It is recommended you delete prior installs of LME from your project. I wish there was a clean, asset manager'y way to handle this.

 

Hello. Why no lightprobes in the example scene "mopedProbed"?

 

Interesting. What version and license of Unity are you running?

 

4.1.2 Pro

 

+1 for stripped down / optimized mobile shaders, any idea of time-frame for those MS?

Would love to hear results of anyone running on mobile with current system too..

 

Hmmmm, not quite sure. I've tested on that very version of Unity. Maybe try rebaking the light-probes?

 

Hey Guys,
I've just come across a little glitch (perhaps) i was on IOS platform and i wasnt able to convert my HDR, so i had to switch back to pc/mac mode delete my original png and re import and then compute my hdr, and add it too my scene.. THEN jump back... just a note for those of you guys trying it...

 

Howdy.. First of all great plugin, it' smaking our scenes look amazing. There are a few glitches however that are giving us pause for concern. First of all we had an issue of our flashlight affecting an object but then not the floor that the object was sitting on. We think this might be because there was a spot light shining on the floor but not on this object and marmoset only lights having 1 light per surface but that is completely heresay, so I'd love to hear your thoughts as to why this would happen: http://screencast.com/t/Y92lO9fi2A

The next issue is that with the Marmoset shaders on we are getting strange normals all over the place on some meshes.. turn Marmoset shaders off and the problems go away. No clue at all about this one but wondering if anyone else is experiencing this:

Again, the shader looks awesome, we so desperately want to use it to push the visual quality of our demos to another level,we just need to get through these issues first.

Thanks!

 

Are you running the game in deferred? And also your models with the normal errors, I would check your mesh...

 

wow fantastic monkeyscience
very more nice reality

 

Yea, we're looking over the meshes it's just odd that these issues aren't showing up without marmoset.
We are running the game in Deferred yep.

 

Seems that the new asset store version now works fine in deferred render.

 

Hey MonkeyScience!

first of all i want to say this is amazing. really liking what skyshop has to offer for content. had a quick question about how you would go about adding grime or dirtying up of a pillar at the base?

from what i can tell there isn't any support for a second UV set to overlay a texture of a dirty edge or anything of the such.

haven't been able to test vertex paint on it as well but wanted to see if you had a preferred way to do it. thanks in advance and keep up the awesome!

 

Yeah, right now the shaders are all limited to one set of UVs so you'd have to include any dirt and grime in the base textures. You could alternately render transparent grime geometry over the base of the pillars. There have been other requests for a second UV set, I'm going to take a look at it when I get a chance.

 

A second uv set or some tiling options would be awosome

 

Is there a refund policy? I am doing industrial building/room layouts and was wondering if it would be appropriate or be ok performance wise etc..

Also wondering about a real life example. Like normal models that arent all textured up etc..

Thanks

Q

 

this my working PoliceCar Engine Marmoset Skyshop

Awosome















Thank's monkeyscience very your Thank'z

 

+1 to all of these.

 

These are all awesome... Definitely +1

 

Not sure this where to make request for this plug-in, but some shaders that sample vertex color for lerping would be nice to see in the future.

 

So is there any chance this could be hooked up to a realtime reflection cubemap, so the lighting is dynamic, all the time?

 

At the moment no, the cubemap needs to be preprocessed for diffuse and various gloss levels of specular reflection; math that's too intense for real-time :-(.

 

Hey monkey, are you working on a way to blend between the various cubemaps? Something like this link would be perfect and incredable.

Is there any chance that at some point the cube maps generated by Sky Shop could be exported to .DDS files?

Please don't post links to that site here publicly!

 

Ooops. Sorry. I just wanted to help.

 

You could send them a PM about that.

 

Hi guys.

I need help, im trying to use a hdr file to make sky in skyshop... but all formats i had use are wrong... i have unity3d error: about texture wrong format RGBA4444.

How i can conwert this to proper format or how i can make proper hdr file for skyshop???

Thx for help.

 

Can this build the cubemaps at runtime or if not, can anyone recommend a plugin to do that and use along with skyshop?

 

You know what would be awesome? If you could add external lightmaps to this tool set. I would buy this all over again if it had that feature.

 

*problem solved

 

hi,

Any skin shader support with skyshop?

Dev

 

This is 100% skyshop shaders:

Once I get farther along with modelling I will bake lightmaps and get some nice directional lighting into the scene.

 

This is PRETTY AS HELL

 

what is the UI that flashes on the screen while you adjust the emmisive map intensity in the video. it looks really polished!

 

Hi, I used skyshop material in my scene, but everything looks not good if from beyond, how to solve it?

 

I have an issue where all my marmoset shaders are black when applied in the editor. If I open the example scene it works fine, then when I go back to my original scene the shaders will show correctly. But the next time I open Unity they will be black again.

Also had problems with black shaders in built game while they show normally in the editor. Do I have to move the folders around or something? I'm using 4.1.5 and 4.2

 

Shaders showing as black in the editor and then being fine when you switch scenes or select a sky are a normal occurrence. It is hard to get Unity to apply shader parameters in the editor sometimes. Easiest fix for this in Skyshop 1.04+ is Edit->Skyshop->Refresh Skies (or the Ctrl+R shortcut). This will force-refresh every sky in the scene.

If shaders are showing black in game builds, you might be running into a non-supported shader issue (probably on Mobile). I've tried to automate the fallback of shaders to mobile shaders as much as I can, but you should be using all Marmoset/Mobile/ shaders on mobile platforms.

There is also a mass conversion script for this now: "Edit->Skyshop->Convert Scene/Project to Mobile" and "to Standard" will convert them back to non-mobile ones.

 

What I think you are seeing is texture aliasing and is more of a general rendering issue than anything to do with Skyshop's shaders. Select each of your textures and look at them in the Texture Inspector. Make sure all textures are mipmapped and use bi- or trilinear filtering. This can even be a problem with high FXAA settings; there is a limit to what screen-space AA can fix.

 

Hey guys, I'm going to ask the mods to lock this thread. Please post issues and questions to:

>> The Official Skyshop Product Thread <<

It can be found in the Assets Asset Store section of the forums. This way we can have a single thread everyone can browse and learn from . Thanks!

 

This is now locked! Monkey business goes on in other thread.
