HDRP support

[Blindsp0t-creative]

Hi !
And thanks a lot for providing this addon. I'm wondering if you plan to update it to the new rendering pipeline of Unity ?
I'd like to play with the visual effect graph in a dome :)

Thanks again

Hi!
This plugin is basically a camera setup, so should work with any scene.
Are you having difficulties with any Unity feature?

[Blindsp0t-creative]

Yes. I can't get no deformation using the prefab with a "High Definition Rendering Pipeline" project.

here is a screenshot :

I confirm i also put the "fulldome preview" script on the mainCamera:

What's your Unity version?

[Blindsp0t-creative]

2018.3.8f1

[rsodre]

Just tried with the 2018.3.3 HDRP test scene and indeed seems not to work.
I'll try to find out why.

[rsodre]

Unfortunately that the HD Pipeline does not fire the Camera's callbacks the plugin needs to render the Fulldome image. Sounds like they will include more callbacks in the future, I'll keep an eye on it and update this issue is anything changes.

But I'm working in an alternative, hold a while...

[rsodre]

No luck, looks like this has to be solved so I can do this...

[Blindsp0t-creative]

Hm... ok, i get it. Hope this will be fixed soon!

Thanks - This is working great in 2018.3+ other than HDRP - using NDI or Spout to get some of that into the fulldome scene. Standing by to see if Unity helps us out on this! Any news?

Hey! It seems like Unity fixed the blocking issue.

[rsodre]

Yes, there's been some exciting new developments!
I'm downloading 2019.2 to try them out

Woohoo! 2019 in the dome! Director, Technology East Village Planetarium *https://girlsclub.org/programs/ <http://www.girlsclub.org/programs/>* @dpentecost Cell 646 704 2021

I have made a working example with HDRP (ExampleHDRP.unity). It's at the HDRP branch.

It's based on the Unity Recorder, cleaner than the original camera callbacks, and runs on the standard renderer too. I think I'll replace the main scripts later, let's see if it works well.

On this new workflow, the main camera can be disabled, since the frame will be rendered manually and copied to the backbuffer. The Game view says "No cameras rendering", but I don't see any problem. I don't know how it will work on a compiled game, if anyone could try...

VFX Graph support will be dealt in Issue #3

[Blindsp0t-creative]

Such great news here !! :))

[dpentecost]

Tried in both MacOS and Windows. Builds fine in the 2019.2 version, quits without building in the HDRP example. Have you tried using the HDRP version with Spout or NDI? Any tips for doing that?

[dpentecost]

Just got it working on Keijiro's DKVfx example, using a DepthKit recording we made - success! Thank you! This opens up a lot of new VFX stuff for the dome.

BUT the inability to build an app (which gives us true fullscreen top to bottom of the frame) prevents us from using it well in our dome, since unless we mirror a fullscreen app, Unity gives us a fullscreen window in play mode. Window bars show up in the dome. Any ideas?

[rsodre]

I merged into master, there's a lot of changes in the plugin structure, and some new stuff I'm working on if anybody wanna try. After pull, you can delete the old FulldomeCamera folder, since now everything is in FulldomeForUnity. I changed the main folder name exactly to force these big changes, and to welcome the new stuff in. But you'll find the FulldomeCamera inside it.

Good news: The new FulldomeCamera.cs script has a better performance on Standard renderer!

Bad news: It is quite bad on HDRP. Let's find out why and fix it :)

[rsodre]

@dpentecost , I still did not try the Metal Syphon or NDI. And I'm allergic to Windows, hope will never need to get close to Spout.

I don't know how they will react to the changes, that should be the next step.

[rsodre]

Current master branch is compatible with HDRP.

[dpentecost]

Thanks! I’m allergic to Windows also! Our dome is closed for now but again, thanks for the great work. I will try on my macbook and see your changes. Dave
