Nature Soft Occlusion Shader Unity
I am making a location in Unity. Why do my trees shine bright white in. Turns out you just need to change the Shader to Nature/Soft Occlusion Bark Shader to.
Alternatively, just select the bottom vertices of the trunk mesh and drag them down 0.5m. Note that this will stretch the texture a bit, but if you also move the next highest edge loop, or perhaps make a new edge loop halfway up the trunk and manipulate it, you can average out the stretching so it's barely noticeable.
* Then create a new prefab and drag the tree from the 'Hierarchy view' onto it. * Add a new tree to the terrain and assign the just created prefab to it. * Paint some trees on the terrain. * You might want to readjust the 'brightness' of the prefab [Don’t forget to select 'Refresh Tree and Detail Prototypes' from the terrain menu in order to make your changes be applied to the terrain’s trees.

Once the process of baking is finished, I will have a nice shadow on my floor, generated by the static trees, however the trees have disappeared. Further investigation reveals that the objects are still there, but the texture is transparent.
A tutorial on highpass filtering can be found here: A good texture tool which includes highpass filtering is luxology’s imagesynth. [[Image:04_detail_grass.jpg thumb Grass details]] I love details As I want the grass texture to fit the avatars size I use a rather detailed image. But the base texture doesn’t need a resolution higher than 512px just the detail resolution comes with 1024px in order to reduce tiling effects.

So, I have some custom trees using the 'Nature/Tree Soft Occlusion' shaders and they looked great before baking a lightmap. However, now that I have baked the lightmap, the trees have turned black. Or rather, when I tried baking with the trees set to static, they turned invisible, and now that Ive tried without, they're black. Also, they're not casting shadows. Anyone know how to fix this issue?
Modern game lighting makes extensive use of ‘global illumination’. Global illumination, or ‘GI’, is a term used to describe a range of techniques and mathematical models which attempt to simulate the complex behaviour of light as it bounces and interacts with the world.
Additionally it does not compute any coloring of lights. So we will have use some workaround to create our lightmap: [[Image:Custom_lightmap_setup.gif thumb Basic setup]] Basic Setup of the custom lightmap script * Calculate the terrain lightmap [if you work with 2 terrains: the lightmap of the upper detail terrain] using the built in 'Create Lightmap' function from the terrain settings tab. Don’t tick the checkbox 'Shadows'. * Duplicate the lightmap from the project view using the 'Assets/Editor/LightmapExport.cs' script.
Details are in the comments. @DMGregory It seems that the bark material is using a shader called Nature/Tree Soft Occlusion Bark and the branch material is using a shader called Nature/Tree Soft Occlusion Leaves. Both of these shaders say unity_builtin_extra at the bottom of the Project window when I select them, so I guess they must be from Unity. How can I check if these shaders have / generate variants that work with lightmapping?
You should also enable Create Tree Colliders in the terrain’s Terrain Collider component inspector. Making trees bend in the wind The first thing you will need to do is create a wind zone. You can do this by selecting from the menu: Game Object > 3D Object > Wind Zone. At this point, you will need to make sure that your trees are set to bend. Select your Terrain The landscape in your scene. A Terrain GameObject adds a large flat plane to your scene and you can use the Terrain’s Inspector window to create a detailed landscape. See in, click the Place trees button in the Inspector A Unity window that displays information about the currently selected GameObject, Asset or Project Settings, alowing you to inspect and edit the values.

You'll have to open the FBX or OBJ file in Maya, Blender or 3DS max. You need to make sure that the leaves all have their own unique space in the UV grid. No overlapping. Also I just thought of something: the leaves are probably modeled as a single flat plane right?

* Adding realtime shadows [Unity Pro only]. This would mean to assign pixel-lighting to the terrain. Even lowering the shadow distance to something around 15 or 20 meters [as we just want the player to drop real time shadows] this would be pretty expensive to render.
In CG for movies nobody bakes lightmaps anymore, so it's not an issue there, and in games I'm guessing that most of the time the leaves just don't have baked lighting. You wouldn't want the lighting to be baked on the leaves anyways.

Scaling, translation). See in enables tree painting.
No option to me. * Edit the tree model in a 3d app and raise the pivot. This will stop mesh trees from floating but leads to floating billboards.

Paint several clusters each with a high density of grass instead. Do so by selecting one of the 'rough' brushes and setting opacity to 80 – 100. ===Adding more details=== [[Image:More_details_01.jpg]] Adding more details just works the same way like adding grass: * Import the model and texture. * Add it to the 'terrain_details' using 'Add Detail Mesh' in the 'Paint Foliage' tab. * Make sure you choose color values for 'Healthy Color' and 'Dry Color' which are pretty much white or grey.
Instead of bending they will do some color cycling which doesn’t look convincing and totally messes up our coloring. I don’t know how to influence or deactivate this color cycling. So I strongly recommend to turn off wind for the detail terrain by setting all sliders to zero. Trees however still will be affected by wind as they are placed on the second terrain. Any other idea?
* You will always have to deal with the terrain’s chequerboard grid which might not fit to all the geometry you would like to have [e.g. Nicely curved roads] * '.it can be tempting to make a heightmap have super-fine detail, but if you crank it up too high -- say below 1 m/pixel, you will have performance problems and the terrain will get all spiky as the polys get too small and close together. The smoother the terrain can be, the lower res the heightmap, and the smoother it will be to walk around on.'
Also, they're not casting shadows. Anyone know how to fix this issue? Perhaps I need to use light probes? --> before and after (fyi the bark is not using the nature/occlusion shader. The shader definitely seems to be the root of the issue, but Im just not sure how to fix it without using a different shader) • • • • •. I don't think there's an easy way to check them in Unity.
So using more than 4 textures will add a second splatmap which not only means 1 additional shader pass but also * Control Texture Resolution: 512px: 1.3MB more VRAM usage * Control Texture Resolution: 1024px: 5.3MB more VRAM usage * Control Texture Resolution: 1024px: 21.2MB more VRAM usage [All values for uncompressed splatmaps. But 'splatmaps don't get compressed, since DXT compression artifacts would render the splatmap unusable to some extent.' – Eric5h5 Anyway – the splatmap resolutions that are used at runtime can be controlled by your project’s quality settings: Texture Quality to fit older graphic cards ] ===Base Texture Resolution=== 'The 'base texture' is the fully composited terrain texture that is used in the distance or on old hardware that does not support fully detailed terrain rendering.' – Aras Pranckevicius Well, I don’t use this.
Simulating global illumination accurately is challenging and can be computationally expensive. Because of this, games use a range of approaches to handle these calculations beforehand, rather than during gameplay. The same scene: With no lighting (Left), with ‘direct light’ only (Center) & with indirect 'global illumination' (Right). Note how colors are transferred as light ‘bounces’ between surfaces, giving a much more realistic result. In this document we will give you an overview of how GI works in Unity.
