RenderTextures with Unity Indie (Desktop only)

An article by mgear    No Comments

Bloom Effect + Unity Indie =  http://www.dramabutton.com/

Most of the image effects seem to work with Unity Free (using Patch Release 4.5.5p2)

I guess its because of Oculus now works with Unity Indie:
“Oculus 0.4.3 Beta (10/24/2014) – Added support for Unity Free in Unity 4.5.5 and up. “

TUTORIAL:
– Use some recent Unity patch release : http://unity3d.com/unity/qa/patch-releases **Or test if this works with any +4.5.5 version?
– Start new project
– Download “Unity 4 Integration” unitypackage from https://developer.oculusvr.com/?action=dl
– Import “OculusUnityIntegration.unitypackage” from that zip into your Unity project
– Run the demo scene once: OVR / Scenes / Cubes.scene
– Rendertextures are now unlocked! (for this project session only it seems)
– Now you can test it by importing the Image Effects (pro only) and try them on your camera/scene.

TODO:
– Check if its works in non-oculus scenes also? : Seems to work, but need to do few things..
– Does it work on builds? : Works in published exe! But not in webplayer..
– Test if it works with 4.6.0 betas or what is the lowest version, could be 4.5.0?
