Experiment with porting @sim.red 's excellent VRC Light Volumes to #VNyan (and other general Unity contexts)

This voxel-based light system by RED_SIM is unbelievably performant, allowing you to create complex lighting effects while going easy on your framerate.

Coming soon™ to a plugin near you!

Anyways, here you can see the "Femboy Advanced" Camera in action

I'm glad I managed to emulate the crappy Framerate in the shader too :D (Probably still a bit too high)

Steam recommend me VRChat just a week before it's first public release, so I'm playing since the first release date, I guess :D
I also asked for a beta-test key before, but didn't receive it unfortunately :c

There are really nice and big 2.0 Light Volumes you have here!

RED_SIM @sim.red · Jul 26

Point Light Volumes with animated cubemap projections! Can't wait to see pool worlds using this.
By the way, you can bake 3D shadow masks to cull the projections in places where they shouldn't be!

VRC Light Volumes 2.0. Point LV with CRT produces stunning, performance-friendly caustics effect

There's a simple explanation of how it works: github.com/REDSIM/VRCLi...

RED_SIM @sim.red · Jul 26

Yes, it's a similar thing. It can even use Bakery volumes as a data source.

You can include the cginc file in your ASE shader, Just as I do in all of the ASE functions that comes with the package

RED_SIM @sim.red · Jul 21

Hey! Yes, everything will work the same with specular setup, except the speculars, you can use this function for sprculars in your setup: LightVolumeSpecular(specularf0, smoothness, worldNormal, viewDir, L0, L1r, L1g, L1b);

Thanks! Maybe I'll make some video tutorials on it in future. But right now, there's a new detailed documentation available there on GitHub

I hope this makes it onto the VCC Curated packages list soon given it encourages people to optimise their worlds and use baked lighting which is a big issue in some worlds

yes it would be a good idea to update your avatar shaders to latest builds

Light Volumes became my non-paid full time job recently, so you'd really help me if you support me on Patreon: patreon.com/red_sim
There you can also get a lot of other VRChat and Unity assets I worked on, so check it out!
Thank you for using Light Volumes and supporting me!
