Fmg 5.6.6 Upgrade Guide

• This page lists any changes in 5.6 which might affect existing projects when you upgrade from earlier versions of Unity.For example:.Changes in data format which may require re-baking.Changes to the meaning or behavior of any existing functions, parameters or component values.Deprecation of any function or feature. (Alternatives are suggested.)Script serialization errors no longer workThe script serialization errors introduced in Unity 5.4 and described in detail in this, will always throw a managed exception from 5.6 onwards.Behaviour in Unity 5.5 is the same as in Unity 5.4.PlayerSettings.apiCompatibilityLevel deprecatedThis is now a per-platform setting.Use and instead. Will continue to function, but it will only affect the current active platform.Lighting changesDirectional specular lightmap A pre-rendered texture that contains the effects of light sources on static objects in the scene. Lightmaps are overlaid on top of scene geometry to create the effect of lighting. See in has been removed.As a consequence, has been removed. Sony vgn-cr220e drivers. Use instead.Here are the prefered ways to get specular highlights in Unity 5.6:.For direct specular, stationary lights with real-time direct lighting provide high quality specular highlights in all modes but the subtractive one. Please see the Mixed Lighting documentation in the online section of the 5.6 User Manual.For indirect specular, use A rendering component that captures a spherical view of its surroundings in all directions, rather like a camera.

  Visit the pages below for information about upgrading to later versions of Unity. Upgrading to Unity 2019.3. Upgrading to Unity 2019.2. Upgrading to Unity 2019.1 Public alpha 31 October 2018. Upgrading to Unity 2018.3 Release expected December 2018 - Public beta 13 September 2018. Upgrading to Unity 2018.2 Released 10 July 2018 - Public beta 07 May 2018. Hybris Upgrade Map (updated with 6.5/6.6) Category: Other Author: Rauf ALIEV 9 January 2018 No comments. Using this reference you’ll be able to find a list of the capabilities you get if you upgrade your hybris from a version X to a version Y, grouped by a topic.

  The captured image is then stored as a Cubemap that can be used by objects with reflective materials. See in, or both.Mixed mode lighting has evolvedMixed mode lighting in Unity 5.5 has been replaced with stationary lighting modes in Unity 5.6. This implies a lot of changes, and we advise you to carefully read the Lighting Modes documentation, and in particular the Stationary Modes draft documentation in the online section of the 5.6 User Manual which details the newly available options.Projects from pre-Unity 5.6 will be upgraded to Subtractive mode (see the Subtractive Light Mode in the online section of the 5.6 User Manual. This is the closest match to the Mixed lighting from Unity 5.5.However this mode is the lowest quality mode for Unity 5.6, so try other modes to see if they are a better fit for your projects. We highly recommend the Shadowmask A Texture that shares the same UV layout and resolution with its corresponding lightmap.

  See in (see the Shadowmask page and the Distance Shadowmask page in the online section of the 5.6 User Manual, especially if you were using the now-defunct Directional Specular lightmaps before).The default for new Unity 5.6 projects is Distance shadowmask A version of the Shadowmask lighting mode that includes high quality shadows cast from static GameObjects onto dynamic GameObjects. (See the Distance shadowmask page in the online section of the 5.6 User Manual).Light probes Light probes store information about how light passes through space in your scene. A collection of light probes arranged within a given space can improve lighting on moving objects and static LOD scenery within that space. See inIn Unity 5.6 you can no longer choose whether direct lighting is added to Light Probes from the lighting window. This now happens automatically based on the lights types and the stationary modes. This ensures that direct lighting is not missing and that there is no double lighting on dynamic objects using Light Probes, greatly simplifying the process.New GPU instancing workflowYou must now check the new Enable Instancing checkbox for all Materials used for GPU instancing.

  This is required for GPU instancing to work correctly.Note that the checkbox is not checked automatically as it’s impossible for Unity to determine if a Material uses a pre–5.6 Shader A small script that contains the mathematical calculations and algorithms for calculating the Color of each pixel rendered, based on the lighting input and the Material configuration. See in.An upgrade error is also imposed on SpeedTree Assets to help you regenerate the SpeedTree Materials, so that you can have Enable Instancing checked.Note: The newly introduced procedural instancing Shaders (those with #pragma instancingoptions procedural:func) don’t require this change because Shaders with the PROCEDURALINSTANCINGON keyword are not affected.Particle system A component that simulates fluid entities such as liquids, clouds and flames by generating and animating large numbers of small 2D images in the scene. See in changesCustom Vertex Streams in the Renderer Module may now require you to manually upgrade your Particle Systems, if you use the Particles/Alpha Anim Blend Shader. In this situation, it is sufficient to simply remove the duplicated UV2 stream.This is required because, in some cases, the duplicated stream is needed to maintain backwards compatibility, so there is no fully reliable auto-upgrade solution. The Normal and AnimFrame streams are also not required, but causes no problems if they exist. The fixed Particle System setup should look like this:Secondly, the upgraded Emission Module will cause Animation Bindings attached the Burst Emission to be lost.

  It will be necessary to rebind those properties.Animator changeAnimate Physics: Rigidbodies A component that allows a GameObject to be affected by simulated gravity and other forces. See in attached to objects where the Animator has Animate Physics selected now have velocities applied to them when animated. This will give correct physical interactions with other physics objects, and bring the Animator in line with the behaviour of objects animated by the Animation Component.This will affect how your animated Rigidbodies interact with other Rigidbodies (the Rigidbodies are moved instead of teleported every frame), so make sure to verify that your Animators with Animate Physics are behaving as you expect.Dynamic batching 2D sprites A 2D graphic objects. If you are used to working in 3D, Sprites are essentially just standard textures but there are special techniques for combining and managing sprite textures for efficiency and convenience during development. See inYou should use dynamic batching in upgraded projects that contain 2D sprites.

  

  This avoids significant sprite rendering performance issues on devices with Adreno and Mali chipsets.To use Dynamic Batching, open the window (menu: Edit Project Settings A broad collection of settings which allow you to configure how Physics, Audio, Networking, Graphics, Input and many other areas of your Project behave. See in, then select the Player category). Open the Other Settings panel and, under the Rendering The process of drawing graphics to the screen (or to a render texture). By default, the main camera in Unity renders its view to the screen.

  See in section, enable the Dynamic Batching An automatic Unity process which attempts to render multiple meshes as if they were a single mesh for optimized graphics performance. The technique transforms all of the GameObject vertices on the CPU and groups many similar vertices together. See in property and disable the Graphics Jobs (Experimental) property. Note that these are the default settings for projects created in 5.6.Graphics Jobs should not affect dynamic batching, but can sometimes cause unexpected behaviors on platforms that use Vulkan and DirectX12.NUnit library updatedThe uses a Unity integration of the NUnit library, which is an open-source unit testing library for.NET languages. In Unity 5.6, this integrated library is updated from version 2.6 to version 3.5. This update has introduced some breaking changes that might affect your existing tests. See the for more information.
