I took a slight detour to replace Unity's cascaded shadow system with my own. It now supports vertex, transparent, and volumetric shadows at the shader level

I try not to engage on here very much, but if you wanna make cool N64 graphics in Unity, you should try my rendering kit. It does all the graphics.

@BenjiGameDev Fake?? Vertex lighting is the realest lighting

@Acerola__t Ocular migraine?

My kit is almost fully platform-style ambidextrous now

@GobaDev I've been working in VR professionally for a while now, and I still have no interest in ever owning a VR device

[Katina @NakatiJa]

Here's a comparison of my geometry reconstruction methods, and how they handle affine interpolation. N64 using frustum based clip and fan, and PSX using frustum-agnostic proximity subdivision.

[Katina @NakatiJa]

I'm adding a new proximity subdivision option to my render kit. This can help reduce the nastiness of affine textures if you choose to use them.

@KazeEmanuar For anyone struggling to see the difference, hopefully this will help. Higher frequency details are often smoothed out, but low frequency gradients are maintained pretty well.

Throwback to the old beach

I've been playing the Silent Hill 2 Remake, and I really appreciate the bold decision to use a dirty bathroom as the title screen

[Katina @NakatiJa]

You can explore this effect and more with my N64 toolkit. It provides a basis for producing hardware-accurate visuals

[Katina @NakatiJa]

For anyone wondering why N64 games used texture filtering despite how blurry it made surfaces look, the alternative often produced a very sawtoothy effect due to low UV precision. It's worth noting that the PS1 would look the same if it managed to support perspective correction

[Katina @NakatiJa]

@xLordDaniel I wouldn't shame anyone for wanting to keep everything unfiltered

[Katina @NakatiJa]

@GobaDev Yeah it eluded me for years

Spooky new demo scene on the way

@nikicaga No one ever asks who's going to pay for all the diarrhea

@Acerola__t The One Piece will end up being Michael's white paper

@rainbowpikmin I'm working on a hardware-accurate N64 rendering tool for Unity
