Alternatively, you can download the project as a .zip file for the render pipeline of your choice. Just go to the Releases page and download the one you want.
@kristijonas_unity I dont mean to hijack the thread or anything. HDRP Sponza is great. Any chance we can get a official HDRP Viking village as well ? I personally feel like the Viking village is a better test scene since it’s closer to a real life game scene.
I personally think its a great place to showcase all the new fancy HDRP features. Water, clouds, outdoor APV, SSGI with the time sliced reflection probe fallback etc etc.
Btw the link you posted seems broken
What made you go in the direction of a remastering with lightmaps over showcasing the semi made one ( that may or may not be complete at this stage) with different lighting set-ups like lightmapping Vs APV Vs Raytrace?
I’m amazed you went full manual with photoshop for delighting controling too, much respect for that one .
I understand that’s more work for you to single handedly do in a given timeframe was just curious. Good stuff!
We relied heavily on Sponza for testing the Progressive Lightmapper. It became evident that we won’t be able to rely on automatically generated UVs, that’s why I chose to author them from scratch.
As for showcasing APV - and potentially other GI solutions - stay tuned, @Remy_Unity and I have something in the works
Yeah, that was done out of necessity. Automatic de-lighting tools didn’t yield the results I wanted. So it all had to be done the old fashioned way. The process itself was simple:
Take the source texture and duplicate it in a separate layer in PS;
Invert the duplicated texture;
Use soft light blending mode to brighten the crevices;
Use curves/levels to tweak the albedo values until desired luminance level is reached;
For difficult cases, I would use AO and concavity textures generated in Knald (using normal maps) to delight albedo further. The process was the same as the one described above.
Source .PSD files are included in the project, with all layers intact, if you’re interested.
Ooo exited, I’ll keep my eyes out for the Collab! You go guys.
Ah nice, yeah I can take a look, keep delighting processing controlled like this is good, even though mostly processing is destructive at the very least you could control it a little easier.
