Hey everyone, I recently started a Patreon account. I'll be posting some simple game resources or things I'm too lazy to turn into videos there. subscribe if you're interested! link : www.patreon.com/Paro222

8:45 lol

[@BorisChuprin]

oh... it seems you miss some part of old video where explains how to add texture to effect and bound limits fileds. I mean 3:39 has no fileds for that in inspector and 4:05 you already setting up black box with those fields(at 5th minute of video you show about min/max boundaries but there is still no info about adding texture)

[@paro456]

Sorry, the original video was 20 minutes long, so I cut out parts that I thought were boring, which might make it seem like some clips are missing. At 4:05, I think I showed part of the result first and then explained how to achieve it.

Great tutorial and resources. By the way, some of people including me faced the problem of URP and SRP errors because of different version. I'm using 2023.3 and Core RP version is 16.0.3, and I fixed from RenderTargetHandle to RTHandle. But when I applied the Render Feature, the console says Null Ref Exception in cmd.GetTemporaryRT in Configure public method. here are some codes what I fixed : public override void Configure(CommandBuffer cmd, RenderTextureDescriptor cameraTextureDescriptor) { //cmd.GetTemporaryRT(tempTexture.id, cameraTextureDescriptor); cmd.GetTemporaryRT(Shader.PropertyToID(tempTexture.name), cameraTextureDescriptor); //ConfigureTarget(tempTexture.Identifier()); ConfigureTarget(tempTexture); ConfigureClear(ClearFlag.All, Color.black); }

Do you mind sharing the rest of the code? I dont know this new RTHandle workflow.

[@officalffagames5144]

can I get the fully modified effect shader and effect.cs? Your github project only has the base

[@paro456]

You can download it in github. I renamed it to VolumetricClouds.cs

[@officalffagames5144]

@@paro456 thank you, now another question I have is can I make it get effected by other lights like point lighst or spotlights?

[@paro456]

@@officalffagames5144 This cloud does not include volumetric lighting features. You might need to look for more tutorials on this topic to learn.

need it for the Unity 6, since its quite not well in unity 6

[@EpicGamer63637]

This is super cool :)

[@CaosCreativeStudio]

i get this error when i add the effec.cs RenderTargetHandle' is obsolete: 'Deprecated in favor of RTHandle' im not sure why but can you help me out

[@paro456]

Unity often breaks older code with new versions. Which version do you using?

[@zandwage5557]

@paro456 Do you think you could update the code to be compatible with Unity 6? I have tried but keep getting constant warnings and errors.

[@JoeShmoe-ii1th]

hello man i appreciate the hardwork, however this does not work with Unity 6 preview, it says RenderTargetHandle is Deprecated in favor of RTHandle also says ScriptableRender.cameracolorTarget is obsolete,. i tried fixing it, even tried AI but to no avail . do you mind sharing an Effect.cs for unity 6? even if is patreon

[@paro456]

I have put a GitHub link in description and uploaded all the files there. You can download them from there.

Hi! Thank you for your video. but can help me with this? This is the error Im getting and I don't know which script is this related to? where is the original method for override?

[@aritosoto]

Very cool result but wish I didn't skip big steps that may confuse beginners like me. You go directly to "let's create this black box" which makes me go "WHAAAAA" :(

[@paro456]

🤣🤣I used reverse chronology by showing the result first and then explaining the process. I’ll improve the pacing next time to avoid confusing viewers.
