Tried to test idea about tube lights (or “line light”), by using custom lighting in shader, you could sample the light several times from different positions/angles, so that it looks like the light is not just a single point. (not really working here properly yet, […]

Using Unity Indie, modified directional hard light shadows. Forum thread: – http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/free-directional-light-soft-shadow-unity-indie.257432/   How to: – Download builtin shader: http://unity3d.com/unity/download/archive – copied UnityCG, UnityShaderVariables, HLSLSupport, AutoLight to assets folder – renamed these as: UnityCG2, ​​UnityShaderVariables2, ​​HLSLSupport2​​ – created new shader file (that default diffuse) – […]

Quick test for beach shader.. Inspiration from this topic: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/229473-Wet-beach-texture Info: – Nothing much happening there, beach has moving mask to change color – Water plane has moving vertices and quite basic normal mapped transparent shader – Transparency glitches here & there.. (goes out of […]

Another fake shadow test.. (similar to the old raycast version, but should work with Physics2D). *This is currently abandoned.. See also: http://unitycoder.com/blog/2014/10/12/2d-visibility-shadow-for-unity-indie/ Info: – Testing PseudoAngle to sort object positions Todo: – Take shadow caster PolygonCollider2D vertices, check which one are visible to play – […]

Interesting fake shadow effect for sprites, using modified sprite shader.. Features: – Works with animated sprites – Works without pro – Could be used as fake reflection also? – more info later.. Webplayer: http://unitycoder.com/upload/demos/FakeSpriteShadowShader/

Mooore fake shadows testing! (based on direct3D shaders) Info: – Works with unity indie/free! – Just a shader with sphere intersect function (so it basically only works with spheres..) – Point light & sphere positions are sent to the shader – Each sphere requires invidual […]

New realtime dynamic super version of the “Fake Realtime Shadows With Surface Shader“! Webplayer: http://unitycoder.com/upload/demos/FakeShadowShaderUnity/ — Image#2: Purpose was to make 2D shadow casting..but resolution is not good enough.. — Image#3: Or actually DX11 (#pragma target 5.0) gives extra ‘power’:

Converted this script to unity: FOV Using Recursive Shadowcasting, for a quick test.. Instructions: – Attach the script to a plane – use Unlit/Texture shader as material (then no need lights..) – Move main camera so that it sees the plane TODO: – Use this […]

Testing one idea for fake spotlight shadows. In the image, spotlight is at the wall, cylinder column is there to block light. (shadowmap size 1024×1024) Current version info: – Have to build the shadow texture manually..(later should be possible to do it all in script) […]

More fake shadow tests.. (currently works from one direction only) Info: – Lets say all of your shadow casting objects are spheres/circular, then we could calculate what area is not visible based on the distance & angle from the player to spheres (or so I […]
