Essentials Plugin Package v3
🕑 Added 2020-05-01 17:48:02 +0000 UTCThese are your most essential MacGruber tools in a convenient single VAR package.
Overview
- SkyMagic: Allows you to create cubemaps within VaM to be used for customized global illumination and ReflectionProbes. This can immensely improve shiny materials like metal, latex, leather, etc.
- SuperResolution: Take ultra-high resolution screenshots using VaMs build-in screenshot tool. This improves image quality a LOT, especially shadows and hair. It is the de facto standard for VaM screenshots.
- FrameRateControl: This plugin allows more fine control over VaM's VSync settings and framerate. Especially recommended when recording video or you want to reduce power usage or fan noise when working with VaM.
- AudioAttenuation: Improves how audio volume fades over distance. It should be a lot easier to get the volume right with this.
- EditMode: Let VaM automatically switch to 'Edit Mode' on scene load. Just put this on your default scene. When in 'Desktop Mode', it also opens the MainMenu and enables 'Targets' (the green atom icons).
- MSAAToggle: Hotkeys to toggle VaM's MSAA settings, this helps with Reshade issues.
Changelog for Version 3
- FrameRateControl: When "Pause VaM when not focused" is active, do no longer pause VaM while a scene is loading. You can be productive now while waiting on a complex scene to load!
- SkyMagic: Direct export of PNG files. You still need to go through Unity to apply the convolution step, but at least you get a preview now.
- SkyMagic: Fixed rendering issue with characters and other native VaM objects, by essentially re-implementing the cubemap render step. You can create reflections of characters now, although it is very tricky to make that look good!
- SkyMagic: Added support for PostMagic. Note however, that UserLUT is the only effect where this is actually useful. Other effects will produce visible seams at the cubemap edges.
- SkyMagic: Removed rotation-sync feature, since ReflectionProbes do not support rotation and it was pointless. Added a warning instead.
- SkyMagic: Can spawn a small reflective sphere now for viewing ReflectionProbes.
- SkyMagic: Fixed a silent crash during cleanup phase.
- SkyMagic: Tutorial updated.
