LOL unity "cummunity" trying to squeeze out every single penny....again...

>>454452
You need a plug in to make a skybox? lol

>>454455
I'm not talking about just a skybox.
I'm talking about a skybox that actually emits light/lights the scene for you.
Standard in many 3D apps, and UE4 has it. I's pretty sure Cry engine has it.

I'm just wondering if unity has it in the free version, the pro version, or if it's only available via this plugin.

>>454459
actually none of these "emits light" in a realistic way. Notice how there are no shadows emitted from the "image-based" maps.

This is 4chan kid. I replied to the op (you, kid?) The facts are as follows: you don't get realistic lighting at all with realtime videogame IBL because the texture map doesn't generate shadows. Choke on it.

>>454469
GOOD SIR! WHO'RE YOU TRYING TO IMPRESS BY ACTING MEAN ON THE INTERNET?!?!?!!

>>454469
>the texture map doesn't generate shadows.
Who bakes shadows anymore?
Even mobile games don't heavily rely on baked in shadows.
Let me spell it out for you and not act like the tough guy here: I'm not looking for baked in shadows.

>>454469
>you don't get realistic
"MUH REALISM" has been and ALWAYS be criticized in the 3D field.

>>454469
>I replied to the op
I asked if unity supports IBL out of the box like other 3D programs.
I didn't ask anything about shadows or realism.

While I'm at it:

You lose.
Good day sir.

Unity's included shaders are very shitty. I don't think there is any included that supports IBL.
Writing one that does IBL is simple if you bother learning shaders, but otherwise you'd have to hunt one down
posted somewhere or purchase it.

Better than straight IBL are BRDF type shaders, here's a nice tutorial to get some nice effects going.

you have no idea what you're talking about. This link describes a pathetic 2d texture used as the complete "lighting model" for a mobile target. The result is fucking terrible btw...

>>454452
to answer if OP still is clueless, the current version of Unity 4.6 does not include image based lighting out of the box. Skyshop or similar plugin is required.
The following is a free Physically Based/image based lighting system you can try out before shelling money for skyshop.
http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/lux-an-open-source-physically-based-shading-framework.221985/
and the unity store link:
https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/16000
It is worth noting that Unity 5.0 is advertized to include image based lighting out of the box, but it is only in beta at the moment and as such is only available to pro subscribers/users.

>>454470
This is why game design fags are destined to be failures.

>>454589
Thank man.

>>454526
Shader is cheap and the result looks great, it allow you to customize light falloff per texel to emulate a wide range of materials.
Don't know what you're so butt hurt over anon but it sounds kinda serious.

>R U building some shader that does this in some over complicated manner anon?

>>454605
if its not pbr, its not worth shit, kid. This is a fucking 2d texture for mobile phones. Not even good mobile phones.

>>454606
>If it's not pbr, its not worth shit, kid

lol? You realize that if you had a proper way of actually recording the bidirectional reflectance distribution function of a given material you still
could encode them to a map like this as a convenient way to hold the data, you could be however physically based you wanted with this.

You're probably just a troll and all but if not you just outed yourself as not knowing what hese words you're using actually entail.
And you call people 'kid', come an anon, get outta here..

>>454607
Mate, if theres not even a ggx specular term or controllable oren-nayar diffuse or even fucking realtime sss you have shit, period. KID.

>>454608
Do explain what's stopping me from adding any of those terms to a shader like the one linked?

From where I standing it's like you're just spweing this random technobable you don't actually understand yourself.
It's like someone linked a nice tutorial for building a car engine and some guy goes "if it doesn't even have doors and steering wheel it's worth shit kid".
What can you really say to a person like that? something like "Where did you come from and why are you even here?" comes to mind.

>>454609
look at you, you're totally pathetic. And getting soo butthurt over your widdle mobile phone "tutorial" by someone with 3 videos on his channel

>>454610
If you followed what's actually happened in this exchange you would notice that the only thing I'm butt hurt over concerns you acting like an abrasive retard.
Interacting with a person who keep responding with insults and non sequiturs will cause annoyance in all but the most buddah like of individuals.

If you in your day to day life notice that people tend to get annoyed around you this is probably the reason why.
In my experience people like you tend to enjoy this though as they actually feed out of other peoples misery.
