[RELEASED] Weatherade: Snow and Rain System

Community Showcases

Hi again, I’m back and got some issues. This is now a fresh install of Weatherade into a clean URP project this time on Windows, and having trouble getting the tracers to work.

Same error as before persists, just a single one, displacement not working from Truck wheels or footsteps or thrown snowballs. Is there any way you can add a list of the necessary Layer names that need to be created? Unity 2022 makes it impossible to figure out what the Layers names and numbers are supposed to be.

Something that might help? There IS a way to create a Tags & Layer Preset that can be loaded before attempting to the open the scene, have seen other vendors use this, presumably to get around the limitation that the Demo scene doesn’t carry those Layers with it in the install.

A game object can only be in one layer. The layer needs to be in the range [0...31]

( I actually have a project I am doing with this, so I promise I will actually learn the full system now. )

Cheers - just saw that Roland C. just put out a video mini-showcase of it!

Hi!
Here’s a preset for the demo tags and layers. Zipped it, because it’s not allowed to attach a source format.

Hah, yeah, he showed it to me :smile:

Thank you! Will Confirm.

Bingo - works like a charm.

For anyone else struggling with it because you are impatient and ADD like me, before opening the demo scenes, import / drag the Tags & Layer Preset from above into your project - maybe into “Assets > Settings”. Then Go to Player Settings, search for “Tags”, and import the preset. Now open the Demo scene and enjoy the beauty!

Hi,

we tried the package on Windows and everything looks good. Now we need it on Apple but even in a blank project with nothing but your Plugin we get the following message (and several more similar ones) and the materials are pink.
Tested in Unity 2022.3.10f and Unity 2022.4.27f1

Hi,
What if you turn off tessellation? Does it work without it?
And please, make a screenshot of the whole console with these errors, if possible.

108

Thanks for the reply,
modifying tessellation in the material didn’t change it. Here are screenshots of the three errors we get.

Ahh got it. I fixed this problem but haven’t uploaded it yet.
Here’s a quick fix:

  1. Open the SRS_CoverageCommon.hlsl file in Assets\NOT_Lonely\Weatherade SRS\Shaders\Includes
  2. Change the code block with the UNITY_SAMPLE_TEX2DARRAY_GRAD macro by this one:
#if defined(SHADER_API_D3D11) || defined(SHADER_API_XBOXONE) || defined(SHADER_API_GLES3) || defined(SHADER_API_GLCORE) || defined(SHADER_API_VULKAN) || defined(SHADER_API_METAL)
    #define UNITY_SAMPLE_TEX2DARRAY_GRAD(tex,samper,coord,dx,dy) tex.SampleGrad (samper,coord,dx,dy)
#else
    #if defined(UNITY_COMPILER_HLSL2GLSL) || defined(SHADER_TARGET_SURFACE_ANALYSIS)
        #define UNITY_SAMPLE_TEX2DARRAY_GRAD(tex,samper,coord,dx,dy) tex2DArray(tex,coord,dx,dy)
    #endif
#endif

3.Save the file.

Yes this seems to work, thanks!

Another question: is it supposed to work in VR? We also tried it on the Apple Vision Pro and it works but only on one eye. The other one shows a blue material.

I created a follow-up video :slight_smile:

Is the whole scene not render or terrain only? And do you have errors in console?
Try to use a multi-pass VR mode and look if it works.

114

It’s the terrain and all other MeshRenderers using the Snow Coverage material.There are no console errors.
VisionOS in Unity doesn’t support mult-pass yet.It’s on the roadmap though.

115

Please, try to select the shader in the folder and look at it’s inspector. I’m pretty sure it has some errors or warnings at least.

116

Yes you are right, there are some errors in the inspector:
