Objective: To look back over the features that were implemented in both the Universal and High Render Pipelines (URP/HDRP) Sci-Fi Lab rooms.
What started out as a very empty and dull looking project using the default standard render pipeline has turned into a masterpiece with HDRP! With a bit of…
Objective: To look at Indirect Multipliers in our HDRP project.
This is the final article in ‘Building a Beautiful Game in Unity’ series that looks to cover using Indirect Multipliers in a HDRP project. The photo above shows where we are at after incorporating a range of HDRP features.
This…
Objective: To discuss the difference between Realtime, Mixed and Baked Light Modes whilst looking at which Light Mode might work best for our Sci-Fi lab room scene using Static and Dynamic game objects.
Compared to baked lighting, realtime lighting calculations are made at runtime (and not before) once per frame…
Objective: To understand what Screen Space Reflections are and how they can enhance the quality of your scene to give it a more realistic feel.
This is a feature in the High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) that provides subtle reflections onto surfaces that can simulate puddles or wet floors. …
Objective: To look at implementing multiple Post Processing Profiles and Reflection Probes into your game in Unity.
This is as simple as it sounds and all it’s takes is pressing the ‘New’ button on a Volume in your scene. I am going to have a bit of fun and setup…
Objective: To show the amazing power of light probes on dynamic game objects in Unity.
One of the primary purposes of Light Probes is to provide high quality lighting to dynamically moving objects in our scene. How it achieves this is by capturing and using the ‘Baked’ lighting information that…
Objective: To implement a Cookie mask onto a light source to create more realistic lighting.
We don’t live in a World where our light illuminations are always perfect, so why should our light sources always look perfect in Unity to? Let’s be a bit more reasonable or realistic and understand…
Objective: To highlight the Volumetric Fog in our Scene with a light source without illuminating the projected light onto surfaces.
I am wanting to accentuate or highlight the volumetric fog we created around the test tubes but I don’t want to use a light source that illuminates the surfaces it…
Objective: To create an eerie Fog Particle Effect for our Sci-Fi Lab in the HDRP in Unity.
It is time to add a cool fog effect into our Sci-Fi lab room to really build out the depth and experience the player is going to have walking into this eerie room.
Objective: To understand what Layered Lit is in Unity and how to use it to mix Texture Maps.
This is a feature in High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) that allows you to stack materials on top of one another on the same game object. This is a really cool feature…
