An example of use of procedural instancing.

Cloner

Cloner is an example of use of the procedural instancing feature that was newly introduced in Unity 5.6.

Cloner creates instances of a given template mesh and place them onto vertices of a given base model. It uses a compute shader for vertex animation and GPU instancing for duplicating the template model. With helps of these GPU features, it can draw complex animation without spending much CPU time.

System Requirements

• Unity 5.6 or later

Cloner only runs on the platforms that support compute shaders and GPU instancing.

I cant seem to get this running on my Mac Book Pro. Sould it run on osx?

There is option for personal meshes

hi, i was pretty exited when i saw this but it only work with 1 specfic mesh. Is it possible to apply interactive point clouds, like the dancing one.

Test works but not in a new project UnityException.FindKernel failed

Hello keijiro thanks a lot for everything. I really like this, but i would like to use within my own project. The test you supplied works but when i try to use it in my own project it fails.
Im using a mac. any ideas?

Thanks a lot! your work is amazing!

Problems with transparency and Unity 2018.1

Hello Keijiro,
Thanks a lot for this project, I used it a lot to build a GPU particle system based on indirect GPU instancing.

I added transparency in the Cloner shader by simply adding the "alpha" directive and writing the alpha value of the input albedo in the surface Alpha output. While this seems to work fine in Unity 2017.3, it crashes everytime in Unity 2018.1. Do you have any ideas as to why this is happening ?

Thanks for your help.

Convert to Point cloud

Hi,
Just wondering what is the workflow for using my own model as a cloner point cloud?
I see under/Assets/Cloner/convert to point cloud is greyed out

Thanks in advance:)
This plugin rules by the way:)

Issue with shader for openGL and Unity

Hello, Keijiro.
I have a problem with matte shader in opengl.
I worked with matte shader before in Unity with .shader file format.
In OpenGL the shader type is normally .glsl and not sure how can I implement matte shader into .glsl format. I am newbie in shader scripting.
I think you are super expert in shader scripting and I kindly hope you help me.
Thank you.
