13:40 was absolutely golden. I will now always call 'Z-Fighting' as 'Z-Farting' Never take this down, Unity

Thank God you guys are finally making an addition to Unity that us gamedevs actually asked for. I've been saying for a long time that a customizable, tweakable {preferably procedural} sky and water system built into the engine are no-brainers, since I would much rather use that than an asset store addon, but instead it's felt like you guys have focused on reinventing the wheel and doing things no one asked for since 2017. What a refreshing change in priorities. This looks terrific. Please, keep going with these types of tools! Now for the love of God, please document this well. I really don't want to see a repeat of what you did with the UI Toolkit's documentation during it's first year... PS: Kudos on the "Z-farting" tech announcement at 13:41. Looking forward to learning how to use that one...

The worst decision Unity ever made was to abandon built-in solutions in favor of Asset Store solutions. Unity needs to come prepackaged as a standalone development environment with things like basic game development components ready to go out of the box, rather than forcing devs to rely on third-party, often poorly-supported assets.

@logan4179 11 ай бұрын

@@defiantparsnipI agree. Obviously Unity can't make every conceivable tool, but when it comes to customizable water, sky, and weather effects, those are no-brainers. We should not have to rely on 3rd party assets for things that are that ubiquitous.

Good look! unity communication team should focus more on result based, easy to grasp video like these. Video titles talking about ECS, DOTS or Burst are kinda cryptic for non Unity users as they are dev oriented and not results oriented features. Even a dev can wonder what results are achievable from these names. Unreal marketers understood it well when they stick to catchphrase talking about results ONLY : Lumen does Light, Nanite renders complex models etc) But very good presentation and nice to have made the samples available!

@deathtidegame Жыл бұрын

Unity's freemium business model requires you to buy "engine feature DLCs" aka assets. There are tons of really good spline solutions there, so the chances are it will take them 5 years to add this, or you could just buy it. No seriously, think all the way back to when they released HDRP (2018). It took them 5 years to add a water shader. Lots of water shader assets have been released, deprecated, and entirely rewritten from scratch in that meantime.

@@deathtidegame Do you hate unity?

@LelandCartire Жыл бұрын

There is already a Spline package I believe so that is basically already a road system you just need your own road models and textures to use it which is fine

@INeatFreak Жыл бұрын

@@shikhermyv just because someone criticized something that is true that means they hate the product in your mind? Unity is great if you're doing everything from scratch yourself but also terrible for doing anything using what the engine offers or doesn't offer at all. There's a lot of basic things missing from unity that should've been added long time ago but adding it would actually lose them money on Asset Store, so that's why they probably don't add them.

Hey, we profile on consoles because that's a metric everyone can use as reference (same hardware for everyone). Profiling on pc depends on so many factors that it means nothing. On top of that os and background apps are biasing results. PS4 is not really top of the line gpu Also, we were showing a video during the presentation, and even if we weren't screen capture softwares are heavy on the gpu

When you need to explain the complex name of something simple, you are doing things wrong. Name transparency as transparency, and not absorption distance.etc etc. It is idiotic how many confusing terms have been used in this tool and others to make it sound scientific and physically accurate. Sorry but it is neither scientific nor physically accurate and you are just making it difficult for people to just grab the new tool and start creating. The water looks great for some low-resolution amateur result...but looks and performs bad for professional high end production...
