Tiling Shader Buildings (Page 4 of 5)

9.6. Incredible work Alex, congratulations! I am a technical artist so I certainly cannot fully understand the difficulty of what you are doing but I believe you are a phenomenon!

The union of the buildings is excellent, even the management of the multi-sub-object by the materials is something that I didn't think could be so quick.

I only noticed one bug:
the combined buildings are always called the same and as soon as I generate a second group of buildings, the first one is destroyed.

I know because the game object remains empty.

I try to make a video later so I'll show you how I make it disappear

9. It's work well!
Thanks Alex!

I just tested combining of building and it works correctly on my side.
Please make a short video so I can repeat your steps and reproduce the problem.

First there will be an update release for Online Maps.
Then I need to finish a few more features for RWT.
The release of the new version of RWT is scheduled for late next week.

Hi Alex, sorry if i still bother you.

I downloaded the latest version of the asset 4.5.7.2.
It seemed to me that I didn't encounter this problem when we did the tests, but maybe it just didn't happen:

When I go to join the buildings together the roofs are joined on another game object for which I have no correspondence between wall and roof: /
I am sending you a screenshot to make you understand what I mean.

I would like if I selected an area of buildings and, using the Combine Selected Buildings command, selected walls and roofs were joined together.
Do you think it is possible?
Thanks

Another thing, I don't know what it depends on, when I imported the new version of the asset it started giving me this error:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
InfinityCode.RealWorldTerrain.Editors.RealWorldTerrainContainerEditor.DrawBaseDist () (at Assets/Infinity Code/Real World Terrain/Scripts/Editor/Editors/RealWorldTerrainContainerEditor.cs:253)

UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent(Int32, IntPtr)

Thanks Alex,
ok for the roofs and walls issue.

This happened because you removed Real World Terrain Container for these buildings.
RWT Container is important for the correct combining of buildings.

Unfortunately, is not so simple.

This is a rather crude analogy, and I don't wish it to anyone, but:
It's easy to lose an arm or a leg, but getting it back takes a team of neurosurgeons and a lot of time.

The same story with RWT Container.
It contains all the information about the generation process, including the settings you entered in the RWT window and the values that RWT calculated when you generated terrains.
It is easy to remove it. But restore it back is very difficult, because you do not know the values that it had inside.
In addition, many other components (eg RWT Item, building, meta, etc.) store a reference to it internally, and you need to set this reference manually via the debug mode of the inspector.
In most cases, it is easier to re-generate everything so that they store the correct values and references internally.

Я всегда рад помочь. Обращайтесь, если будете иметь какие-то проблемы

Hi Alex, I'm working on 2020.3.21f1 version of unity.

I use this tool of yours very often but only now did I notice this "bug".

I attach a very clear image of the problem.
Basically, the roofs of the procedural buildings, in addition to not being mapped correctly with regards to the functional direction of the shape (but this is another problem), still have a tile sizing problem.

As you can see, I am using two materials on all the roofs of the buildings that I have generated and, although in the shader parameters the tile is the same for both, not only is it different between the two types of roofs, but it is also different between the same type of roof.
Do you think there could be a way to fix this problem?

Thanks for your attention

Great Job Alex! You are amazing as always!
Thanks

Hello.

RWT can generate two types of roofs: flat and dome.
To change the roof type, after generation select the building and choose Roof Type.
Roof Type - Flat works correctly.
Roof Type - Dome works well for simple buildings. But if the building is more complex it generates bad results.

You've requested much more complex roof shapes.
The implementation of this looks simple for rectangles.
But in the real world, buildings are very often just crazy shaped.
Examples of buildings from the area I had on hand (Paphos, Cyprus) are attached.
So, sorry, but unfortunately I don't have enough knowledge to implement this.
