Started converting this 2D visibility/light script ( http://ncase.me/sight-and-light/ ) to unity, finally some progress! btw. lines are drawn using GLDebug from : http://www.unity3d-france.com/unity/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=5409 Unity forum thread: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/2d-visibility-shadow-free.275698/ — TODO: – Quad segments are currently crossed.. – Fix mesh generation *Temporary fix:  insert extra boxes outside […]

Another fake shadow test.. (similar to the old raycast version, but should work with Physics2D). *This is currently abandoned..

Testing river mesh generation, idea is from forum topic: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/225561-Is-there-any-way-to-have-a-river-flow-without-flow-maps?p=1502875 Webplayer: http://unitycoder.com/upload/demos/RiverMeshMakerUnity/ Features: – Start point, length, width, segment length, adjustable x-position (middle of the river), in the screenshot using Mathf.Cos(#) – Each piece/segment has UV (0,0 to 1,1) so can scroll the texture to […]

This is another thing that i’ve always wanted to try in Unity, Scorched Earth deformable collapsing terrain (youtube link). Ideas: 1 – Using SetPixels() with texture would most likely be easiest, just slow on bigger resolutions (but no need high resolution for this anyways?) 2 […]

Converted this script to unity: Basic Illumination Model by andalmeida. Problems / info: – Converted most of the values to floats.. because Mathf.Max() didnt like doubles.. i guess could had made some extension to it.. (maybe thats why there are some artifacts) – Specularity didnt […]

Lets say we have a single colored mesh like in the image above and we want to blur it (with unity indie..).. Ideas to try: Glow effect shader? (no glow in indie..but can have something similar, doesnt work with planes yet..) Take screenshot of the […]
