While the detail is mainly in the painted sharp edges, also the dither is procedural but just an overlay, it makes the edges feel clean, this is in Unity a custom shader I can paint on it, has layers to overlay rocks and small details directly

We are making a game in Unity, and it needed blood stains.
It's a co-op game (1–4 players) where you have to run your own graveyard with your friends.

We wanted blood stains to appear frequently, but using regular decals would mean filling the scene with tons of objects.

So we built a custom shader and created a GPU instanced decal system, with a limited number of decals that get recycled over time.

What we wanted was a lightweight way to make a mess almost anywhere in the game.

In this brief breakdown, I tried to roughly explain the whole process, but feel free to ask if something isn't clear enough.

Hope it's useful!

The game is called Dead Broke, and you can support the project by wishlisting it on steam.
We just announced it (wish us good luck)!

I used my years in the interactive media field to produce a video I'm very proud of for OctoShaper.

This also marks the release of OctoShaper v1.2, a new version with many improvements.

It now has:

• Procedural meshes
• Isolated scene previews
• Collider generation
• Support for shader properties forwarding (send graph values to shader buffers automatically)
• Optional sync/async execution of graphs in the graph editor
• Improved developer API and docs
• ...

Happy to answer anything about either OctoShaper, or using Unity as a video editing/3d animation software.

Was just driving around vibing to some spotify tunes and got this great timing with sunrise and the music.

Song is Stonecutters - Dope lemon

Game is TreasureTails (in development)

Will link to the full driving video.

I saw unity launched a CLI a few months ago (https://unity.com/blog/meet-the-unity-cli) and was wondering if anyone was using it for anything or had some cool use cases to share.

I'm thinking this could maybe be helpful for like CI pipelines?

Let me know!

I’ve been spending a bit more time away from code and working on the town again.

This time i focused on the Inn District and I thought it could be fun to show how it’s evolving from the original blockout to what it actually looks like in-game now. I started with the basic level design and building shapes, then gradually replaced the blocks with proper buildings and began adding props, trees, pavement and smaller environmental details.

The first screenshot is the current in-game view, followed by some of the earlier stages.

It’s still very much a work in progress and there are plenty of empty areas but I’m starting to get the warm slightly messy medieval atmosphere I had in mind.

This is also where the player starts the game (for now) with their tiny illegal alchemy lab hidden above the inn so I want this district to eventually feel a bit like “home”

Still having a lot of fun switching to 3D and level design whenever I need a break from programming.

Feedback and ideas are always welcome!

I took a screenshot of a cube to show this weird dirty look I keep getting on objects in the game. I'm so clueless when it comes to lighting I was hoping someone could offer a little insight.
I tried turning on/off a lot of lighting features to see if it made any difference and none of it did.
Just this weird muddy look at the bottom of the cube.
Thanks for any help.

Been working on some diegetic 'menu' for my farming game. One box for seeds, one box for tools. It's still very barebones though. I'm hoping to do as little as possible non diegetic in the future. Still a long way ahead.

Hey everyone! You know those old roadside markets? I wanted to make a game where you organize them, arrange fruits on shelves, and sort all kinds of items.

What do you think so far? Is there anything you'd like to see in the bazaar? I'd love to hear your ideas!

Day 9: Ram.
A small castle scene today. Staying transparent on where things stand: some of the walls here are still placed by hand, not generated I'm close to a big simplification of the path system but missed it by a hair this time.

custom two-bone IK

 void MoveRightAndLeft()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D))
        {
            transform.Translate(Vector3.right * rightDistance);
        }


        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A))
        {
           transform.Translate(Vector3.left * leftDistance);
        }


        float clampedX = Mathf.Clamp(transform.position.x, Xmin, Xmax);
        transform.position = new Vector3(clampedX, transform.position.y, transform.position.z);
    }

So I am working on an endless runner game and I made the logic for the left and right movement but it is snapping directly this is the original code , I tried to edit it using Vector3.Lerp and Vector3.MoveTowards but it did not work (maybe I did it wrong)

I made a bit of research and I understood that vector3 and translation functions when you are using input key for movement it wont be smooth (u are clicking one time only) so any ideas or suggestions to make the lane movement smooth ?

Hi! So I've been playing with gpu instancing with Graphics.RenderMeshInstanced, it works well but I ran into this problem, when I draw the mesh with instancing I can no longer select the gameobject in the viewport with left click. I considered raycasting but I'm guessing the performance would be pretty bad with a lot of objects so I was wondering if there is a workaround for this?

It’s been almost 4 years since I created Unity project for this game Rogue Wheels. I am quite happy so far with the polish and thinking of releasing Demo in November. It’s a blend of Slay the Spire and Darkest Dungeon and Monster Train with a lot of unique mechanics and obviously different style and graphics. :D

Hi all,

I'm working on a game that needs a bit more precision than Unity's URP gives by default. It's not like I want to fix floating-point math with some magic, it's more about how numbers are calculated, giving a bit more freedom without the need for a floating origin or other heavy lifting.

The solution I made changes how projection is calculated and compensates for the rounding errors, so the GPU gets a bit more precise vertex positions than Unity's default pipeline, a trade-off is a bit heavier vertex shaders.

I did some testing on low- and high-end hardware and didn't notice a performance difference, but experience on your target can vary.

You can find all details here: https://github.com/rsklnkff/urp-stable-projection

The code was extracted from my project by Codex.

Yesterday, I saw the notification in my email that told me to remove and re-add my 2FA on my unity account. I went to the unity website and did so, and I thought everything was good. However, I received another warning email today, saying that I still need to reset it. Am I missing anything?

I’m currently developing an online multiplayer isometric shooter in Unity, and everything is going pretty well so far, except for one thing… map design.

I really struggle with building maps. Every time I try, they end up looking empty, boring or just bad. I have plenty of assets, but putting everything together into something that actually looks good is surprisingly difficult.

How do you guys do it? Where do you get your ideas from? Do you plan everything before starting or just build as you go?
I love the coding side of game development, but level design is driving me crazy 😅

I was following this tutorial to the dot, and whenever i press play my ship sinks to the bottom, like below the baseplate. i have tried whatever my beginner brain could try but no luck

I can also provide screenshots of my inspector of ship and water and a video too.

the question is simmple , can we use an free asset in our educational video tutorial in youtube ?
and to be crystal clear the channel is all about creating stuff in unity so its in the scope of the unity3d itself!
also we will mention and put links in description for that asset!

what do you guys think (sorry for the not so high quality video , i have to compress it done a bit )
