Hi,
Tried with Unity 2018.3.0f2, no effect of VXGI, that i can see.
Hope you could help.

Thanks,
Tushar

this is default

and not any diffuse in other cube

Your addon's effect is so great.But when i try to generate some procedural mesh
https://imgur.com/euTGxR3
There are some particles shadow will pop out and appear randomly.(From the picture it seems aceptable ,by if run in video it looks very anoying )

Is there any way i can avoid this issue happen.The shadow will follow the direction light.And
I found it's related to the voxel?When the resolution is low,the particle shadow will become bigger.

This issue seems won't happen in the static mesh.

Hi,Looooong.I have downloaded this texture and try to recreate the material in VXGI. https://cc0textures.com/view.php?tex=Tiles20

_col.jpg assign to Abedo
_rgh assign to Metallic
_nrm.jpg assign to NormalMap
_disp assign to HeightMap

That works well in standard3d mode.

But in VXGI.Only the abedo and metallic works well.

The normal map in some aspects can work.But I find I can't adjust the intensity value next to the "NormaMap".I can only go to the texture import settings to set the Bumpiness and press the apply to effect the normalMap.

And the height map doesn't have any effect apply to the material.Though I have already twisted the value.

I am using 2019.LTS with URP 7.6
is the version requirement higher than this?

Just a few bullet points that summarise getting the render pipeline set up. Something you can skim read in 20 seconds rather than having to find headphones and listen to the first 5 minutes of a YouTube video!

I tried to create "GameObject - UI - Text" in VXGI mode. But the text didn't show. Although i set the font material to VXGI material,it just shows a bunch of rectangles~

This is to use as an open discussion thread.

Or do tiled deferred rendering...

Spent few hours trying to get VXGI working, but transparency is not working, or maybe my settings are wrong.
here is the settings

It seems the "blur layer' is inverse? I have also tested other object like cube,still meet the same problem. The testing is in the branch " Switch to built-in GBuffer generator "

When i use the " Add Spherical Harmonics pass and environment settings " 's branch,everything is fine except the post process's depth of field is flip.So i import the newest branch base on this branch in the same scene.But I find the color changed a lot.

The picture above is original.The second one is after import.the lighting looks very flat

Currently, the volume resolution of each mipmap texture is 2ⁿ+1. This ugly number was chosen because it was implemented using 3x3x3 Gaussian kernel.

However, I think that choosing 3x3x3 Gaussian kernel was a poor decision. I suspect that the 2ⁿ+1 resolution doesn't fit nicely on the GPU memory architecture, which may impact GPU read/write performance.

Instead, we can perform mipmap filtering using 4x4x4 Gaussian kernel on light texture with the resolution of 2ⁿ. Beside fitting nicely on GPU memory, we can also divide the compute shader thread groups equally. Voila!

Hi Looooong, could you give me an idea of use cases where voxel GI is a better option?
I think that voxel GI would better for procedural worlds.
Am I right? Or am I not even close?

Hi!
First off, great stuff! The output is beautiful! :) However I have noticed that nomatter how I set the intensity of the directional light in the scene, it will set itself back to 10 every time I press play.

This can be reproduced by starting any scene with a directional light.

I'm not sure if you want a seperate bug for this but if i create a box with walls that are made of 5 unit thick boxes, the inside still has light even if the ambient light is set to 0x000000 like so:

If is change the directional lights intensity to 1 it looks like so:

(which is much better - i set the walls to 1 unity thick and it seems to only leak a little light)

Anyway thanks for your efforts!

I will reorganize the code into Unity package, hence, separate the render pipeline source code from the example scenes and assets.

Hi,Looooong,I found PostProessingV2 not working on VXGI.
Usually,i follow this steps can make it work.

1.Download postProcessingV2 package,(I have tried 2.1.7 and 2.0.17)
2.Add two scripts: Post Process Layer and Post Process Volume in the main Camera.
3. Set the camera layer into "Postprocessing"
4.Create a Post-Processing profile in the Assets file and assign it to the Camera's Post Process Volume component's Profile

Then,in the Post Process Volume component ,click the is Global and add different effect on it will see the PostProcess effect.Like Vignette or sth else.

But in VXGI is not successful ,did I miss any steps?

This is great, and results are pretty good.
I would like to get this working with Single Pass VR,

Not too familiar with SRP so not sure where to add any of this.
But I have found some documentation which should help:

VR Support Custom Render Pipeline

VR in HDRP
Commit from the github Setting up some Shader Variables

Any ideas?

...or at least support compute shaders as an alternative...

...because (a) it'll work on Metal / Mac, and (b) the performance of geometry shaders sucks

I'm having some issues with particle systems. They either seem to not render at all, or render through all geometry.

Here's a video:

Do yo have a guide on how to use particle systems? Or is this a bug?

I'd appreciate your help. 👋

Hi,Looooog.I am not sure is there any way I can hide the emissive object,and at the same time ,it can keep illuminate the object around it.Sometime this can help to do some environmental lighting

Reference

Hi,Looooong.Your VXGI addon is great.But I don't know where to set the environmental lighting.In SEGI, I can go to the LightingSetting - envirment lighting - ambient color to set.But in VXGI this doesn't work.So the shadows are alway very dark.I can't make a bright environment~

This is a really promising project...

it would be very helpful if the README said something about the state of the project...

Which Unity versions is it compatible with?

Is it usable today, or a tech demo?

What are the limitations? (issue #1 talks about it possibly not working on some GPUs)

Hello.Looooong.Is it possible to custom the resolution in VXGI? Where can i modify? I know the XYZ axizs use the same resolution like a cube.But in some situation.If there's a very long object like 8 * 1 * 1 i want to render on the screen. Then there is a lot of space is useless.
