#UnityTips In 22.2 for #URP (and 23.1 for #HDRP) you can now use dedicated Rendering Layers to choose what objects will be affected by lights, shadows or decals (eg: light bulb lighting). They can even be sampled from the #ShaderGraph to implement custom effects!

It's been a while! Things got a bit quiet (winter holidays, and now I'm off work to move to Sweden). Let's look at some recent Unity changes! 2020.3.44f1 has come out recently. Three of my changes made it in :)

HDRP project was taking 10+ hours to build empty scenes. I noticed ~50k URP shader variants being processed. The project had been ported to HDRP from URP. Package Manager didn't list URP as installed. URP was listed in the manifests. Once removed, builds now take ~10min.

Only difference between the two images are about a hundred hand placed light and shadow cookies. Probably a very dumb idea but is very fast, runs great and gives an amazing amount of control and versatility!☁️ #gamedev #indiedev #adventuregamefriday #madewithunity #pixelart

Great article! In the 60s, coding was a gender-balanced field... why do we see so few female programmers today? I have a whole keynote talk on exactly this phenomenon. If you're interested in me delivering this as a guest talk at your workplace, let me know. ❤️ twitter.com/pickover/statu

folks really gotta start questioning how radical they really are because not being covid cautious during this mass disabling event is at odds with being inclusive, accessible, intentional, community oriented, creating safe space, practicing consent, siding with the marginalized.

Turns out I’m not the only highly experienced VR user that having these kinds of issues on Quest on a regular basis. Experiences like these stick in people’s subconscious and makes them not want to return to VR the next time the opportunity is presented. twitter.com/DevinReimer/st…

Hot Take: Plastic SCM UI & UX feels extremely limited & broken compared to Fork’s Git client. Yes, git-lfs is a pain & Plastic handles large binaries with grace, but overall I’d rather work with an interface like Fork’s. Bonus points for git being able to delete unused branches.

In Three.js you can use transparent objects with opacity=1 and finely tuned renderOrder to achieve a see-through x-ray effect – i.e. filtering out portions of other objects without stencil buffer or multipass rendering. Live demo: boytchev.github.io/etudes/threejs #Études #ThreeJS #js
