Thank you!

Small susgestion, can you make any sources of light more exaggerated.
So if looking direct at a light source with night vision on would amplify the light signature.

thats excellent cant wait to get it.

Thanks for your suggestion! You can adjust the “constrast” value to make sources of light more exaggerated.

I really like this effect, it has a convincing and realistic look and is super easy to use…

However found a little trick for those that are interested…

I needed to toggle the night-vision effect on and off - which is easy enough to do… but while using the effect I noticed that in a really dark scene the visible ambient light level was not actually boosted like real-life NV equipment should/would do… perhaps I’ve just spent too many hours on guard-duty in real life with a NV scope pressed up to my eyes :slight_smile:

So I knocked up a simple little script that seems to work well for me… simply attach it to the same camera object your NightVisionEffect is attached to:

namespace Assets
{
    [RequireComponent(typeof(NightVisionEffect))]
    public class NightVisionBooster : MonoBehaviour
    {

        public KeyCode NighVisionToggleKey = KeyCode.N;
        public bool BoostVisibleLight;
        [Range(0, 20)]
        public float BoostedVisibleLightValue = 10;

        private NightVisionEffect _nightVision;
        private float _originalAmbientLight;

        void Start ()
        {
            _nightVision = gameObject.GetComponent<NightVisionEffect>();
            _originalAmbientLight = RenderSettings.ambientIntensity;
        }
 
        void Update () {
            if (Input.GetKeyDown(NighVisionToggleKey))
            {
                _nightVision.enabled = !_nightVision.enabled;
                RenderSettings.ambientIntensity = BoostVisibleLight && _nightVision.enabled ? BoostedVisibleLightValue : _originalAmbientLight;
            }
        }
    }
}

The designated input key (defaultg “N”) toggles the Night Vision on and off and you have the option of boosting the ambient light and to which level… in my scene somewhere between 5 and 10 worked well. but this will depend on a lot of other factors.

Hope this helps someone, perhaps the option of boosting light and the amount can be included in a future update?

I was also looking for something similar, but I realized that writing this myself or finding a ready-made one is unrealistic. Since I need the effect to work from complete darkness. Not forgetting about the particles of transparent materials and the like. In addition, “set replacement shader”, which will increase optimization, and not kill it.
