Compatibility: • Unity 2019 / 2020 / 2021. • Standard render pipeline, forward and deferred. • Universal Render Pipeline 7.1.8+ (Unity 2019+). • High Definition Render Pipeline 7.1.8+ (Unity 2019+).
• Super simple to use: simply add to your camera/render-pipeline and adjust parameters.
• The effect is split into two parts:
Control small scale highlighting with “curvature” settings,
And larger scale highlights with “cavity” settings.
Separate settings are available, enabling you to dial in the desired effect:
Pixel radius of curvature, its brightness in outward curves and its darkness in inward curves.
World radius of cavity, its brightness in outward curves and its darkness in inward curves.
• As a source of screenspace normals, all three sources are available to choose from:
G-Buffer normals, Camera normals, and Depth-reconstructed normals.
• New feature: Control the effect per-object.
Uses a new “output to global shader texture instead of the screen” mode. Example shaders included. Feature available for Builtin[2019/2020/2021], URP[2020/2021].
Hello, I just bought this asset, being a big fan of this viewport effect in blender, and I was wondering if it was possible to apply it only to certain elements.
For example, the effect is particularly good on rocks, but it also applies to vegetation, and it makes everything particularly ugly.
Hi,
I am currently working on adding a feature where instead of rendering to the screen, it renders the effect to a global shader texture that you can then sample in your own shaders; thus allowing you to select objects which receive outlines etc. The feature is almost done, I just need to create some example shaders for urp on how to sample a screenspace texture (for all 2019/2020/2021 urp versions), and that turned out to not be so trivial a task.
If you can implement sampling a screenspace texture on your own, for you own shaders, I could submit the update to be live within a day or two. Otherwise it’ll take a little bit longer.
Thank you.
Big news:
Just finished the per-object effect control update. Uses a new “output to global shader texture instead of the screen” mode. Example shaders included. Feature available for Builtin[2019/2020/2021], URP[2020/2021]. With it you will be able to filter out any objects you don’t want the effect appearing on.
Looks great, I love this effect.
Does it support DOTS Hybrid Renderer V2?
Usually global effects like this do since the shader requirements for DOTS are mostly related to instancing.
EDIT: I tried it and can confirm, it works and it looks dope af!!
Hi everyone, discovered that a small bug has slipped through in the latest version of the package.
If you’re importing URP.unitypackage please move the imported “URP” folder from the root of your project into “Screen Space Cavity Curvature/SRP” folder, then right click on the “URP” folder and press “Reimport” to not get any errors.
The fix for this will be live as soon as the assetstore team approves it. Very sorry for the inconvenience.
–Edit: The fixed version is now live, fresh imports will not have to do anything, right click on “Screen Space Cavity Curvature” folder and press Reimport if you’re still having any issues.
Hello and congratulations! Is it possible to apply a texture in the curvature only? Possibly through a texture node of the Shader Graph (such as “_ssaao_occlusiontexture3” for URP)?
Hi, this should be possible with the _SSCCTexture output mode, it outputs to a global shader texture with curvature in .r and cavity in .g
I am not too familiar with the shader graph so not exactly sure about using it to implement this, but there are example shaders for URP in the “_SSCCTexture Examples” folder that show how to sample the texture and have separate sliders for curvature and cavity, adding a texture on top of that should be an easy modification. Please let me know if you have any trouble with it. Thank you.
Hello, I bought this asset but I’m having some issues (maybe I don’t understand correctly) I’m using URP, and I already added the “SSCCRenderFeature” to my URP renderer, and I can see the effect, but the readme says that I need to add a “SSCC” to my post process volume, and here is where I’m stuck, I tried to add it as an effect, but it doesn’t appear in the effects of the post process volume. I’m doing something wrong?
Hi,
Mobile is not officially supported (there’s just too much variance between mobile devices), but one person tested it on iOS and it worked perfectly for them. Your mileage may vary.
It is very easy to exclude specific objects from the effect (if you’re on Builtin or URP 2020+), consult texture output mode folder’s Readme.txt.
Hey, does it support mobile? And this new feature with shaders, that means it doesnt work as post process but is like a texture, so performance is much better?
Hi, see the comment above about mobile.
The ‘texture’ output mode feature works like this: Render the entire screenspace effect, but output it to an intermediary global shader texture instead of the screen directly (what it does in default ‘screen’ output mode), then as the individual object’s shaders get executed, they can read this texture to use that information however they want for their shading, they can ignore it for example, etc. The sample shaders for all this (Built-In, URP) are provided with the asset.
Hi, the asset works with all shaders by default without any modifications required (applied on top of everything on screen), if you want to exclude certain objects from the effect you have to switch over to the custom provided shaders, or modify your own.
I needed to change the path in the URP_SSCC.shade file line 195 to the actual path of the Shared.cginc file to make the asset work. Other than that it works very well
Im running Unity 2020.3.34f1and URP 10.9 but am unable to get the effect to work. I had it working in 2019.4, I’m not sure where I’m going wrong. I’ve added the feature, enabled depth texture, and made sure post processing is selected on camera like last time, but no results.
