Future updates
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
All our assets follow an incremental development process by which a few beta releases are published on our support forum (kronnect.com).
|
|
We encourage you to signup and engage our forum. The forum is the primary support and feature discussions medium.
|
|
|
|
Of course, all updates of the asset will be eventually available on the Asset Store.

Version history
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|

|
|
- [Fix] Removed a CommandBuffer allocation
|
|
|
|
Version 9.1
|

|
|
- Skybox contribution improvements. System can now use snapshots of realtime skybox and use it as fallback.
|
|

|
|
|
|
Vesion 9.0
|
|
- Added "Skybox Intensity". Use only if you wish the sky or camera background to be reflected on the surfaces.
|
|
- [Fix] Fixed a WebGL compilation issue on Unity 2020
|
|
|
|
Version 8.1
|
|
- Shiny Render Feature: added "Custom Smoothness Metallic" option which will execute a custom pass to gather smoothness/metallic data into a texture and use that information in forward rendering path instead of using Reflections scripts
|
|
- Shiny Render Feature: added "Enable Screen Space Normals" option which allows Reflections script to use URP depth normals texture instead of fetching normal map from the material
|
|
- Shiny Render Feature: added "Camera Layer Mask"
|
|
- Reflections scripts: added option (new default) to read normals from the depth/normals pass in forward rendering path (normal source = screen space normals) instead of reading the material bumpmap property
|
|
|
|
Version 8.0
|
|
- Added "Compute Back Faces". Option to compute true thickness of geometry instead of using a constant which improves accuracy of raytracer. This option can be expensive as it does an additional depth prepass on opaque geometry.
|
|
- Added "Puddle" example to demo scene 1. Uses a Reflections scripts with custom uv distortion speed setting (new).
|
|
|
|
Version 7.2.2
|
|
- Added "Skip Deferred Pass" option which ignores the full screen reflections pass in deferred and only computes reflections on desired surfaces with the Reflections script
|
|
- [Fix] Fixed a compatibility issue with some Android devices using OpenGL
|
|
- [Fix] Fixed some reflections not appearing due to a depth buffer issue in forward rendering mode
|
|
|
|
Version 7.1
|
|
- Performance optimizations
|
|
- Added new Output Mode: "Debug Depth"
|
|
- Added new Output Mode: "Debug Normals"
|
|
|
|
Version 7.0
|
|
- New workflow option: metallic and smoothness. By enabling this option at the Volume level, Shiny will now use the metallic property for the reflection intensity and the smoothness property for the roughness. Reflections values need to be reauthored when changing workflow as the formulas used are different.
|
|
- Reflections script: smoothness source has been simplified to either Material or Custom.
|
|
|
|
Version 6.1
|
|
- Change: reflections scripts can now be used in deferred rendering mode allowing a mixed mode (deferred pass + custom reflections driven by each Reflections script). To use them in deferred, activate the "Use Reflections Script" on the Shiny SSRR inspector when using deferred rendering path.
|
|
|
|
