Autolike XD

[@maxim099]

No, we want it when it's stable and usable, it is not yet. so your here only tricking customers.

[@ahmadghodrati608]

Why not?

[@UGuruz]

Keep them coming..👍

[@-_wanderer]

Yes, we want more videos on hdrp!

[@Danidev]

That lighting looking kinda thicc tbh

[@ramster4459]

Hello there my fellow milk boi

[@cmdexecutor]

Cause the volume is a cube. And we know cubes are thicc

[@457Deniz457]

U look kinda thiCC ! :D But can u do 7D games ? Noob.... 🤪

[@Nash60001]

Milk Boiiiiiii

[@clivefellows8748]

the fog is more thicc

[@irtezarahman5370]

Unity official tutorial just get lot better and informative than previous. Love this style.

[@GrBiEdits]

Yes make more of this videos.

[@Jeea84]

Brother, I will never be able to thank you enough!!! You just cured my headache that I have been having for a month!! I just could not understand why my lights won't show in my game environment!! In short!!! I LOVE YOU!!! Please continue making such helpful videos! Ever grateful!! 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

[@Jono1982]

I don't have Volume option under UI in my version? :O 2020.1.2f1

[@MCtomgie]

Finally, they SHOW US instead of tell us how to do it

[@joaquinninoortega8023]

@@bezoro2008 for example of 3 light in the post. hows the 3rd point light larger? scale? wow like how? :). one of those

[@Oxmond]

Yass! More HDRP lighting tutorials! Love it! 🤓👍🧡

[@powersupersport]

Yes! More HDRP! I just found out why my density volume wasn't working. Yeah, because of volumetrics not being enabled. Thanks!

[@sandakureva]

Oh this is really freaking neato. Yes, definitely more of this.

[@hristokolev842]

Make a scene with interior set, day and night. This will help to manage different aspect of lighting scenes.

[@PascalAchermann]

Thanks for sharing basic tutorials, keep on!

[@niuage]

Could you do the same, but with URP? I'm aware that it's not as capable as the HDRP pipeline, but i'd love to see an official video about good lighting settings for night scenes!

[@philipdrobar]

Yes please! I feel there's next to no full URP light setup videos.

[@supertenchoo4271]

Urp

[@EmanX140]

There is no volumetric lightning in URP for now(

[@niuage]

@@EmanX140 True, but a night scene is not just about volumetric lighting.

[@AmazonHydroTransport]

Very good! Nice Job!!!! Unity is fantastic!

[@Nuwn]

Looking forward to more. The thing i look for absolute most however is URP and HDRP 3D outlines

[@gangov]

Great material, thanks!

[@nomorecookiesuser2223]

Yes, please focus more on everything HDRP. With the HDRP and some changes to the business model at Unity, I have fully switched over from Unreal. I am hoping Unity can catch up in a timely manner. Seriously, HDRP possibilities are your big pull. It is a matter of capability. If URP could do everything that HDRP could, there would be no need for HDRP. But since they they seem to have gone seperate ways never to meet again, we really need a solid working, standardized HDRP core. So please, More HDRP! Thank you.

[@pedrolaguardia68]

Is there a possibility to export the lighting environment designed with Unity to 3D cities in GML and JSON format? Do you have any material in video or document related to that? And do you have any examples using Aura plugin to compare lighting design possibilities? I focus in the real quantity values of illuminance and luminance interaction between users and surfaces

[@StylizedStation]

Super useful, thanks guys :)

[@starchaser28]

This was very helpful, thanks! I'd love to see a video on stained glass in HDRP. I can't find a good way to do it.

[@vadim2639]

Well, actually this video is much more helpful then previous one

[@nicviars1748]

How do you make directional sunlight not affect an enclosed interior? The interior of my "house" is being lit some, even though there isn't windows, etc... If I reduce the Sky override's multiplier to reduce the light's affect on the environment, it helps with interiors but also reduces the effect on volumetrics.

[@LeoHsieh]

When i bake the light map, what HDRI sky should I use? will it affect the baking? Let's say I wanna swap sky between a afternoon HDRI SKY and a night HDRI SKY at runtime, How should I bake my light map?

[@RemiG-3D-Art]

Hi how tu setup Lighting for realtime interior lignting ? I need to setup it for a room. In this room player can use lightswitch . my problem is when i turn of my light all models receive a bright reflection like light grey color. :/

[@samdarkazanli]

This is amazing! Thanks.

[@ThurVal]

Since I installed HDRP it is no more possible to change the skybox-background.. all the possibilities under lightning settings disappeared. my panoramic skybox-material is still in the assets. But how can i use it now?? just cant find it!

[@TheDrsalvation]

what about having an overcast outdoor environment, and smoothly transitioning to a dark cave within the same scene?

[@UGuruz]

*Quick and Useful*

[@niuage]

Did I miss something or you dont provide the skybox? I wish you at least suggested one if that's the case.

[@457Deniz457]

😲 Nice ❗ Thanks again 😊

[@roo3434]

How would I apply a "global illumination" style light into a room? Separate from the outside global lightning?

[@autorotate1803]

It would be nice to have a video like this for URP

[@hongphat85]

Thank you so much. Can your share the model for practice?

[@bokajon]

More HDRP content please :-)

[@Jake-hn8hl]

Is the Amalienborg palace asset available for purchase?

[@MaggotMcFly]

We need more URP videos like this! Please :'(

[@c1oudsky]

URP is just more like built-in rp, not much to tell about it

[@ozeistudio6916]

when is the futur high graphics that are gona beat the unreal engine coming ?

[@handsomelessking]

I am supriside that there isn't a lot for 3D textures because just a simple noise modifier for fog would help a lot, or just use particles for moving fog

[@sinansahin3003]

So.. HDRP is good but still we can't add SpeedTree models. Please help us !

[@escanor8696]

I've tried to import the book of dead assets to my hdrp project but now it is showing this error Shader error in 'HDRenderPipeline/Lit': failed to open source file: 'CoreRP/ShaderLibrary/Common.hlsl'. Can some one help me how to solve this

[@emeraldstudios848]

Idk why but everything in my scene is lit up when i do what they say and lights still dont work ( 2019.3)

[@Maqueta3d]

This is really good. I would like a tutorial on how to change speedtrees to hdrp(even if is no automatic)...lots of money has been invested in this kind of assets and its really holding me back from hdrp.

[@PascalAchermann]

Mtree is a very intuitive Assets to make nice and optimized Trees. Shaders like Vegetation engine can help achieve great results with trees! Speedtree does lot of weird things in textures and meshes.

[@erdbeerbus]

all that infos in only 5min. G.R.E.A.T!

[@_g_r_m_]

It would be awesome if any other light than the directional actually emitted light

[@schonkigplavuis8850]

So whenever i add point or any type of light in HDRP, i need about 99k lumens to light my character up JUST a little bit, but it doesn't affect any other props. Anyone got any clue?

[@GoblinWeenog]

same. why would he skip that part.

[@sayedammanakhtar1225]

HDRP interior night time video would help.

[@cooleo867]

For my Skybox images I'm using Stars with a blue Nebula. Unfortually the skybox Images are shining blue on the models. does anyone know how I get rid of this? I need space to be black I'm using HDRP.

[@whatthefilmaker5259]

Unity os best but when we download unity from unity hub we cant pause and its size is huge please help

Please also consider dots tutorial.

[@jean-michel.houbre]

Thank you for stopping your speaking speed contest!

[@CaioTrinchinato]

Why the intensity was PI?

[@challengedollar2880]

does anyone know where can we get the scene models??

[@crazyhq270]

The colors look bland, there is flickering, how to enable HDR color range, when I do the scene looks bluish white. Emission lights flicker at a distance. Shadow and ambient light do not work properly.

[@PascalAchermann]

try to configure it correctly, then the problems go away.

[@Tubcio]

Why I can't add ,,global volume"?

[@miguelcasado465]

Could u make videos using quixel? Fixing problems and giving tips?

[@PascalAchermann]

Quixel suite or Megascans?

[@miguelcasado465]

Pascal Achermann Megascans

[@PascalAchermann]

The best solution is to use the bridge importer, it setup the materials really nicely. If you want moving foilage for example you would have to make custom stuff or use things like vegetation engine. If you want Crip and great terrain ,out can paint the terrain with megascan surfaces and for example use microsplat solution to optimize it. If you use megascan rocks and assembly, aka formstions just copy paste and scatter them around to create landscape. you could then Export them with the fbx exporter (same types) (see packet manager) and undercut then so they don't generate overdraw. Re-export the meshes as one piece , try to maintain the uvs and use same material. Just some general ideas :)

[@miguelcasado465]

Pascal Achermann Thanks man!

[@PascalAchermann]

@@miguelcasado465 pleasure!

Two realtime lights and emissive for the lamps, that is not even noticeable with the bloom lol

looks good. Pretty slow though.

Please sir can I have some more!

[@philosophyfrog2653]

I don't have the volume tab, how come?

[@streuselu9474]

[@logan4179]

Why in the world does the Fog override have an enable checkbox? Isn't that what the main check box next to the word Fog is for? And why in the world is there another checkbox to the right of this that's unlabeled??? And why didn't you explain what these are all for??? I've honestly started looking into Unreal because of how much easier it is to set up these scenes and how much more the options for the visuals make sense in Unreal. You guys really need to start establishing some good will again with the indie community.

[@totallydenkrudhra4015]

Sheeeesh

[@FreshYoMama]

no one: Literally no one Dani. So I use unitys particle system for everything, Now that i mention it he is looking kinda Thicc

[@kuku4957]

help add subtitle,thanks

[@Armitage1982]

It's nice, but it doesn't look too realistic. I'd rather see this style in a video game and with the Universal Render Pipeline. Ultra-realistic rendering with HDRP should be a step higher, in my opinion. But nice feature nevertheless :-)

[@atirutwattanamongkol8353]

Unity literally don't care about porting the Tree Creator to HDRP and making HDRP work with terrain details. I hope they are not forcing game devs to go out of their way to use external tools.
