Assets Pirate Cove

[Farger]

Farger submitted a new resource:

Pirate Cove - not all treasure is silver and gold, mate

Ahoy. Saiko the SkullCracker guards the pirate cove. She looks small in size, but be wary mate. She has a short temper and a long sword.

This package includes two versions of a pirate cove. The version in the demo scene is sea port 2 stormy waters. This version includes particle effects, sound and lighting. The ocean waves include a shader that is visible via a directional light, as illustrated in the demo scene. The asset labelled "pirate cove clean" does not include baked lighting...

@Neith asked a question about just sharing the ocean effects. I am happy to do this, but I am worried about some of my practices when I work in Unity. Sometimes I rush changes and I manipulate materials in order to make new effects versus making a new material to start the new project. In simple terms, this could sometimes make recreating these effects exactly as in this scene somewhat challenging at times. I will go back and look what I can do and post in an update. BTW, there is already a calm ocean effect in Version 9 of Farger's Particle Pack Vol. 2.

Im glad to report that I do have an ocean only version of stormy waters as is included in this pirate cove resource. I will post that and other wave options in a future update.

Farger updated Pirate Cove with a new update entry:

Landlubber Expansion Pack

This update adds the following:
- Ten assets can be individually loaded for customized scenes
-- Crates, barrels, bottles, boats, canopies, planks and more
- Three ocean effects added as individual assets (these effects work best with directional lighting)
-- "Ocean_shallow_2" is a replica of the ocean effect in the demo scene
--- I suggest scaling this CUA in size to 2 or 3 times the normal size, this will lower the ocean floor and the bubble effects
-- "Ocean_shallow_1" is...

could you add collision on the foldable chairs and the table? in the atoll?

could you add collision on the foldable chairs and the table? in the atoll?

I can make those updates. I am not sure the updated VAR will be able to fit on the Hub: it has to be under 500mb. If it doesnt fit I will make a separate patch kit.

Added missing colliders for chair and table assets

Please read as this update may not be of interest to everyone, this update makes the following changes:
- Adds missing colliders for some of the chair and table assets (beach chairs, foldable chairs, lifeguard station and picnic table. Thanks to @cyberdelique for pointing out the missing colliders to me. The new versions of these assets are highlighted by "with colliders" in the CUA name.

I added colliders in Version 9. I had to remove all demo scenes for the VAR to fit on the Hub., Cheers!

Hello

I do have a little quetion to that amazing asset.

I loaded some ocean waves.
Then i got stoneground and no water.

When i then zoom out i can see the water around the sphere with the stoneground

Did i do something wrong here, or what is this stoneground sphere for?

Just would like to have the oceanwaves

The shader used to make these waves requires a directional light with cast shadows turned on. This is mentioned in the third paragraph of the overview. One option has a stone island, but there are many others without that.

Hi Farger

Could solve the problem.
There was a tonemap in the scene i didnt see and caused that problem.
Afer removing it, it works fine.
