Supported Unity Version: 2022.3 LTS

This release contains the following package versions:

  • depthkit.avpro: 0.2.1
  • depthkit.core: 0.14.3
  • depthkit.core.shadergraph: 0.6.1
  • depthkit.core.vfx: 0.6.1
  • depthkit.streamingimagesequenceplayer: 0.3.1

New Features

  • Support for Unity version 2022 (LTS)
  • New XR Headset Support: Depthkit Photo Look rendering is now supported on XR headsets like the Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest 2/3/Pro, and experimentally on Microsoft HoloLens 2. Depthkit Visual Effects Look rendering is experimentally supported on Meta Quest 2/3/Pro and Microsoft HoloLens 2. Some hardware requires performance optimization - See Platform Support for more information.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed in issue where some parameters in the Depthkit Studio Mesh Source component were not saved within the Unity scene.

Known Issues

  • Due to an issue with visionOS and Unity's Visual Effects Graph, Depthkit Visual Effects looks are not yet supported on Apple Vision Pro.

Volume settings

  • Volume preview does not work in HDRP.
  • Adjusting your volume settings, especially manual volume bounds, can dramatically change the number of triangles generated by the mesh source. If you see parts of your clip go missing or see triangles flickering, try pressing the Set Surface Capacity button in the editor or increase the Surface Buffer Capacity by increasing the value in the capacity field.

VFX Graph

  • When changing render pipelines or adjusting certain project settings, you may have to open the VFX Graph asset and recompile it to see the VFX output in the scene.
  • Due to a known Unity bug, VFX Graph particles will not render when single pass instanced rendering mode is enabled.
  • Due to a known Unity bug, VFX Graph geometry output is not supported for the Quest. When designing your VFX Look, ensure that you are using a point output.

Depthkit Core Expansion Package Phase 6

Released 04/20/2021

Updated use of Material Properties Blocks for URP and HDRP. This is particularly helpful when you are playing multiple Depthkit clips in one scene. You will no longer need to disable the SRP batcher or create new Looks for each clip when working with multiple clips at one time.
