Name: Fast Shadow Projector
Brand: Unknown author
SKU: 4106

Asset description

Shadows are very important aspects in 3D space. However, shadow rendering is GPU intensive process. Fast Shadow Receiver makes shadow rendering much faster by minimizing the area where shadows are drawn. This is the real solution to the shadow performance problem on low-end mobile devices.

Also, Fast Shadow Receiver provides a useful mesh search tree called “Mesh Tree” which is used to search for polygons which are receiving shadows. Mesh Tree is useful not only for shadows but also for various purpose such as light projection, bullet marks, AI, and so on.

Lightmaps and Shadowmasks are available in Projector materials (example: Blob Shadow Projector with mixed lighting) (Version 1.5.0)
It works with Lightweight Render Pipeline (LWRP) (more details...)
Easy Setup Wizard
Works with Blob Shadow Projector
Also works with Light Projector / Bullet Marks.
Shadow-map is also supported.
It can cast shadows on non-flat surface.
Really fast, even on low-end mobile devices!
Accompanied with fast (but no falloff) projector shader.
Optimized for multi-core processors.
Terrain is supported (Only Blob Shadow Projector)
Unity Pro is not required

SGSR 1 Mobile - Upscaling for Unity

By Unknown author

Version 1.4.5

SGSR 1 Mobile - Upscaling for Unity has been tested in Unity versions 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and Unity 6 up to 6.3! ✅This asset will receive a minimum 2 years of support & free updates. ⚡Boost your frames with SGSR Mobile - Upscaling for Unity!⚡ SGSR is an upscaling technique specifically created for ultimate performance for mobile devices! It creates high quality and resolution frames based on lower resolution input. By using this, your project can run in a drastically lower resolution without losing visual quality and increasing the framerate! This Unity asset is created to interface with Qualcomm's Snapdragon Game Super Resolution found here: https://github.com/quic/snapdragon-gsr. If your project is limited by GPU performance, SGSR Mobile will give you a higher framerate. If a project is limited by CPU performance, all it will do is make the GPU workload lower. While this may seem like a big limitation, it also means a mobile device will use way less battery power when using SGSR! 🌀Easy to use SGSR has been designed for an easy setup, with an extensive documentation describing the process. Additionally, SGSR has been extensively tested with all default Unity Post-Processing, however we can't guarentee that all custom Post-Processing assets will work out of the box. If you run into problems with custom assets, contact us and we'll see if we can help to add support for it! ❤️Boost further with the Ultimate Upscaler Bundle Are you looking for the absolute best quality upscaling? Enhance your project's visual fidelity by also adding our other upscalers to your project with our Ultimate Upscaler Bundle! 🆓 Not convinced? Try our free evaluation version. Experience the full feature set of our premium upscalers, restricted to Windows builds and watermarked for evaluation purposes. Download it here. 🛟Support If you run across any issue with implementing SGSR, please read our Documentation or contact us on Discord. Even while the asset has been rigorously tested, there are always edge cases that are difficult to foresee, please contact us if you run into any issue! 👷Third Party Integrations / Connections These assets have added specific support for this asset. Please note that these assets are not included! If you need support for these assets, please contact the original developer. Unified Settings & Game Options UI - A settings template with one unified interface for all render pipelines (URP, HDRP, Built-in) and input systems (old and new). Settings Menu Creator - Build customized settings menus in no time. Works in Built-in, URP, and HDRP. The integration works with all versions including the Free one. HTrace Ambient Occlusion three of the most popular ambient occlusion techniques into a single asset, offering a highly scalable and adaptive system for AO computation.

KWS Water System HDRP Rendering

By kripto289

Version 1.5.11

Before updating, remove the water shaders/scripts folder This version is only compatible with HDRP 12+ rendering and is not compatible with Standard built-in/ URP/ Mobiles / WebGL Water for Standard built-in version Water for URP version If you have already purchased the HDRP version, you can make a paid upgrade to standard built-in/URP with a ~70% discount at any time. You can also upgrade to the new KWS2 Dynamic Water System with a ~40% discount. All demo scenes and resources from the video are included. PC DEMO The water rendering uses a physically-based lighting and fft wave simulation model, driven by real-world parameters such as wind speed, turbidity, transparency, etc. As a result, the water should appear visually correct in any scenario - whether it's day or night, in sunlight or shadow, or even in enclosed environments like caves. Features: GPU waves simulation with multiple cascades (to avoid tiling) Physical approximation of lighting (volumetric lights and shadows, absorption, sub-surface scattering, caustics, sunshafts, PBR shading and sun reflection) Physical approximation of reflections using reflection stack: fast screen-space projected reflections (several times faster than any other SSR methods) + camera planar reflections + skybox reflection Physical approximation of refraction in screen space with dispersion (using water IOR) Physical approximation of caustics relative to water waves (with dispersion). Underwater with partial submersion Underwater sunshafts/volumetric lighting with caustics Underwater half-line tension effect Underwater physical aproximation rendering (Snell's window effect and internal ssr reflection with volumetric lighting) Underwater bubbles and lit-particles (with feature that makes these particles tile infinitely across space using only few thousand particles) Aquarium mode Decal system using shadergraph (include duckweed/blood effects) Trails using shadergraph and particle system (include foam trail effect) Instersection and open ocean foam Shoreline foam waves rendering with pre-baked particles simulation Flow rendering using flowmaps (integrated flowmap painter) Fluids simulation for static objects (rivers) with foam rendering River system using splines Buoyancy (and API) Dynamic ripples (using primitives or mesh renderer) Rain effect Various meshes: infinite mesh(ocean), finite box (pool), spline rivers, custom mesh Optimized multple water instances rendering Lod system with dynamic mesh quality and culling using QuadTree Tesselation Writing to depth buffer (for correct posteffects like 'depth of fields' or third-party fogs/plugins) Video/text description of each setting in the editor. Fog compatibility out of the box (in one click) with third-party assets for Expanse, Time of Day, Enviro 1 and 3, Atmospheric height and fog. VR supported (PC target platform) You can get all new beta changes/fixes/features and get support on the Discord channel public roadmap Email: kripto289@gmail.com
