Point Light Volumes prototype! They can be both Point and Spot Lights, can be calculated mathematically or use a special LUT texture that controls the cone falloff and attenuation! Up to 128 lights per scene. Works up to 3- 4 times faster than regular Light Volumes. Can also be... show more

It's not about the brain - diligence and persistence are the key factors needed to create amazing things. This system is actually very simple and doesn't require a lot of intelligence.

Another thing that is going to be released with next version of VRC Light Volumes, is an in-game debugger tool! You'll be able to preview every volume, voxel, and point light. Works in any world that supports VRC Light Volumes.

Something-something Point Light Volumes? Not sure if I will integrate it, but I just don't like people using baked volumes as fake point lights and spot lights. Integration for shader makers would just require to update my .cginc file I provide. For people - to update the shader and reupload their avatars again. Not sure if it's worth it, but we'll see...

Spot Light Volumes! Everything is parametric here and not baked into a 3D texture, as regular light volumes, which makes it even more optimized. Will work on it a little bit more and see if it's worth to add it to the main project branch.

Now Point Light Volumes supports Cubemap projections! Volumetric fog makes it look just stunning! But here's some bad news... If I release it, all world creators will need to update their worlds to the new Light Volumes version. Otherwise it will break the back compatibility. Updating avatars will be really suggested too, to support the point light volumes, but worlds are something that is more important! But it will be just as easy as to reupload the world.

I'm working on a new major VRC Light Volumes update! - Baked realtime shadows (very performant) - Animated cookies and cubemaps - Optimized area lights - No more legacy code - Almost full back compatibility with older light volumes shaders (excluding new shadows)

A very rough proof of concept of Baked Directional AO for VRC Light Volumes. I'm not sure if I want to integrate it into light volumes for real, but it could be a VERY performant solution to make super cheap realtime contact shadows.

5001 lights in WebGPU (Shade). 1 directional shadowed light with CSM + 5000 sphere lights. Using clustered lighting, similar to Unreal, the screen is split into tiles of 32x32 pixels and then further split along the Z axis. Lights are culled and binned. Most of the time engines implement clustered lighting with a fixed number of partitions in XY, something like 40x20, let's say, this is generally fine, but it doesn't adapt to different aspect ratios and tends not to scale as well into higher screen resolutions. Finally, by splitting the XY in 32 pixel increments (or anything that's 2^N really) - you get better wave coherence, that is - pixel shader runs more efficiently. The engine supports up to 10,000 so-called "local lights" in the frame, which can be either be sphere lights (point lights with volume) or spot lights. When I say "in the frame" - I mean on-screen at the same time. There can be a million lights in the scene for example, but only 10,000 can be visible at a time. Can increase the limit, but I reckon 10,000 is already a pretty (un)reasonable limit.

This week I've been working on the VRChat Light Volumes scripts to bring you an easy and comfortable editor workflow. I also implemented the Volumes rotation feature and optimized the shader a lot to make it work even more solid on potatoe-PCs. Here's a small video of how it currently works.

The #geometrynodes Curve Normals Proxy Rig is almost ready! You place it on the face and adjust some controls to line things up, and it just works. The controls can be worked with in lots of different ways. You can attach it to an existing rig or animate it. Those bones are controlling a mesh which controls the curve points, so you can also make Shapekeys on the meshes instead and Drive them to match other expression keys! The forehead above the top curve blends to Radial Normals, and under the chin blends to the actual mesh Normals. I'm adding the rest of the controls to allow completely arbitrary Normals per curve point, and then its just cleanup and it can be released! (There's lots more that can be added to it like falloff and interpolation controls, but if I try to put everything into the first version it'll never release.)

New prototype of VRC Light Volumes real-time shadows! It uses EVSM сontact-hardening soft shadows. Performance seems good on PC, but I will do more tests. Finally something that looks better than what you can achieve in Unity by default!

Here's something I promised to show you… GPU grass that is actually fast and usable! It can be dynamically scattered over any mesh in your scene, can be bent by people's avatars or props, and it even works on Quest and mobile just fine. Still WIP, but you can check this world:

Noticed this Cyclist did not have reflective lights and flash light also no street lights on our road. Decided to shield and light for him. Also magadi road can be dangerous at night as it has alot of alcohol joints, hence alot of accidents weekly due to drunk drivers.

The negative energy needed to produce a warp drive is achieved by focusing intense electromagnetic fields onto a small spot. This rips the zero point energy out of equilibrium producing a 'negative energy' effect. These 'black holes' in spacetime disappear quickly. This effect can be used to produce a warp drive or traversable wormhole that can teleport an object faster than light.
