I would hit your Patreon for top tier right now if you recreated your ECS tutorials for HDRP in 2019.3 or 2020.1, with different colored entities. I've been grinding at it with procedural quads for two weeks. Last night I hit 5,000 quads at 15 FPS, so I got that going for me, which is nice... But seriously, that's only 10k tris. I'm pretty sure Wii era Mario's average scene has more. I'd just post code somewhere and ask what I'm doing wrong, but I've refactored and rewritten to the point that I can't find anything else to try.
I would really love a In Depth series of shader graph / VFX graph, there is no much solid content of these topics. The 90% of the free content are very limited examples of using the tools. Love your videos!

I had no particles showing up and needed to also install High Definition RP to get this working. But afterwards, this tutorial really helped a lot on getting started with VFX Graphs!
I can't even get Visual Effects Graph to do anything. I created a new empty, created a new Visual Effects Graph in 2 different URP projects. Got a bunch of predefinition errors, but no shader / effect. Not even the preview particles. Nothing. Tried setting particles and such, but errors showed up. Shader didn't. RIP. Using latest 2020.
Hey sir!! MANY people do not know how to cut or slice through objects, which is required frequently and DESPERATELY. It would be great if you do a tutorial on cutting through meshes(instead of cutting by using prefabs as told by Brackeys), and giving different components to the differently cut parts. Really looking forward to tutorial. Btw I have asked for this tutorial to other TH-cam channels to see who really checks comment boxes and to give reviews about these TH-cam channels. I'll also appreciate your effort on my other accounts on patreon and TH-cam.
Yeah now that I'm doing a bit more 3D that's definitely a system I'd love to experiment with Mix N Jam made this a while ago and it looks excellent th-cam.com/video/YGDzRVwmTgM/w-d-xo.html
@@CodeMonkeyUnity I appreciate your early reply, you always live up to my expectations. I will be looking forward to a detailed video on this topic by you.
When i tried to use the Visual Shader Graph templates with the URP pipeline it does not work. It shows me no effects when i place them into a scene. Tried it with the URP template. However when i tried them with the HDRP template it works just fine. What is the problem here ? can't seem to find anything related to this when i google it.
The vfx graph is awesome! I was curious if it worked in 2D in the universal render pipeline and even Unity was unsure if it would, but it did and I could make very thick 2d smoke with loads of particles. Thanks for a great tutorial as usual!
I try to find best practices regarding instantiation of Visual Effects on Prefabs, which is surprisingly hard. In my case, every prefab creates it's own Visual Effect instance (e.g. small explosions), like with everything else, but it seems this is not optimal since many effect instances may be significantly slower than one instance that handles all effects (at least of the same type, but this has other drawbacks). What is your approach handling VFX Graph Effect instances on Prefabs / GameObjects? Do you even use it for production?
It really depends on the use case, best answer I can give you is don't waste time on premature optimization until you've actually identified a problem Yes running it all on a single particle effect will be more performant, but also more complex to implement, so if you don't need that extra performance then just spawning a prefab every time works fine.
Thank you for your answer! After fiddling around with different approaches, I tend to use a combinated solution that remains practicable. My brain is apparently too small to go with a fully fledged single VFX system, since it needs a whole different approach to transfer code logic into VFX Node logic via shady workarounds and limited node support for advanced logic. Based on comments I've read it seems possible, but it is no easy task and feels wrong with the tools provided. So I use a special Pool, that will only activate VisualEffect Instances if the same Vfx Event gets called more than once in the same frame. That seems to work quite nicely, but could be even further optimized if using a buffer that will store VFX events and distribute them over the next frames to avoid the one-event-by-frame instance. But as you mentioned, that would be premature optimization. I wish someone would make a decent video about that... ;-) @@CodeMonkeyUnity
Hi everyone! I have some issues with the light , i don´t see it on my gradient i make the same steps but the result is not as lighter as the video.(Im using lightweigth render pipeline). Some solutions? Thanks!
Shader Graph is for making shaders which defines how something looks. And VFX Graph is for making particle effects. You can use Shader Graph shaders in your VFX Graph particles
Is there a way in Unity to multiple instance objects just by painting them onto a landscape like you can in Unreal, I need to paint a lot of low poly trees and dont want to place them all by hand, I could do it Blender with a particle system and just export as blocks of meshes
The main thing I love is it using the GPU as that allows for much more optimized gameplay automatically and using the hardware. And being able to move with certain collisions and things like the player and the grass allows for some neat effects
hi, do you know if there is a way to detect if Headphones are pluged in for Android and IOS? i wanna make a game with the feature of detect if there is a Headset connected to the device.
Great video as always, would love for you to expand on this as it looks like it would be a great tool to learn. Also does it work in 2d or is it 3d only?
The Visual Effect Graph is a Particle System for spwaning millions of particles. Shader Graph is a visual tool for creating Shaders Effects built in the Visual Effect Graph can be rendered using custom Shaders made in Shader Graph
Yup, just use flat quads with the same rotation as your 2D camera. Only thing I'm not sure about is if it works with the 2D Renderer but at least it should work just fine with the normal URP renderer
@@CodeMonkeyUnity Thanks for your response Is URP for 2D game design ? i am new to unity game dev, so basically if we want to create effects in 2d, is its particle effects and shader graph enough to create great effects?
I have a question, maybe a dumb one, but is the VFX the same as particle affects ? can i use VFX insted of particles and vice versa ? what is the difference ?
In your game, Ninja Tycoon ( by the way, awesome game, it is really fun), all the characters's movement animations, are done via script with if statements and bools like in the tutorial where you showed us that mesh created character? Or you added some components like bones used for animations? Thank you!
This looks great but .. I’ve tried for the last couple of hours to get this to work for me. I’ve downloaded the same version of Unity as you are using 2019.3.9f. I’ve got Visual Effect Graph Version 7.3.1 & samples installed along with RP 7.3.1. I’ve closed and reopened my project after installing the above. My Graphics settings for ‘Scriptable RP Settings’ says ‘None (Render Pipeline Assist’. I’ve tried clicking on the selection button but it only gives one option ‘None’. If I setup a Visual Effects Graph (which works) but if I then click on it to show the graph I get a display tab, but all I then get is a dark grey panel with the heading ‘TestingVFX’ on the left and a plus sign on the right. Any ideas, please? Regards, Nick

How much logic can you have in between particles before you can only have a thousand or so particles?

It does not show anything. URP assets are all in place, but the effect does not display anything even in the asset's prewiev window.

It would be nice to have a more detailed video about it. I love the VEG but it's hard to find stuff on it

I believe the terrain system supports that, there's also a bunch of tools on the Asset store
Any advice on which one is better for mobile games between the particle system and visual effect graph?
Not all Mobile phones support GPU Compute so depending on your target you might be better off with just the normal Particle System
The main thing I love is it using the GPU as that allows for much more optimized gameplay automatically and using the hardware. And being able to move with certain collisions and things like the player and the grass allows for some neat effects

Great video as always, would love for you to expand on this as it looks like it would be a great tool to learn. Also does it work in 2d or is it 3d only?
I believe support for 2D has been added although I haven't tested it yet
Thanks for the awesome video. As a person who is very new to these concepts, what is the difference between the visual and shader graphs?
The Visual Effect Graph is a Particle System for spwaning millions of particles.
Shader Graph is a visual tool for creating Shaders
Effects built in the Visual Effect Graph can be rendered using custom Shaders made in Shader Graph
Will this work for isometric type of games? I guess 2.5d like lost ark
By default the particles look at the camera so yes they work in 2D and 3D
I don't see this in my list. Has anything changed since this tutorial?

Does VFX graph actually runs on URP? I thought it only runs on HDRP.
