Purpose of this PR

After discussing with Mathieu Muller, we had the idea of opening the main room to be able to see more the "recent" environment effects / features. (Water, Cloud Layer, Volumetric Clouds, Atmospheric Scattering, Volumetric Fog).

To be able to do that, the door on the other side has been duplicated to be able to access à small concrete pier.

In addition to that, there's a few things that has been done to the template as well:

  • Adding some water. It needed to have a water decal around the area to lower the water surface below the room 1, 2 & 3. This water decal is a procedural one (circle and rectangle together to match the template topography) lowering the surface to -10m to avoid having water in the other room. Especially if user increase the wind.

  • Cloud Layer has been added.
  • PBR Sky replaced the HDRI Sky to be able to set a ground tint cohérent with the water surface (slightly blue).
  • Fog Attenuation distance has been reduced to 2000 (instead of 5000) in the main room.
  • Sun rotation has been slightly changed to account for better shadows now that we have another opening in the room.
  • Shadow proxy has been updated to account for the window.
  • Quality settings have been modified to include water and simulation resolution according to their levels.
  • The controllers have been moved in the pier directly to emphasis on the new setup.
  • A shell has been created for the outside of the dome and the shadow proxy has been cut properly to avoid seeing it from the outside.
  • No new material have been created.
  • Lastly, the reflection probes has been moved and tweaked a little to avoid them "leaking" into the water.

And lighting have been rebaked.


Testing status

Opened the template with Unity 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 to make sure nothing was broken.
