Kiel 1242

[FrankReiser]

In my private time I start to create a historical reconstruction of my hometown - Kiel 1242. 
I'd to start this project a few times from scratch to find out - what is the best workflow.

Here I'll publish my whole experience with this project.

But first things first.

At the beginning I thought  I could do all the stuff in Blender, but then I need a complete visitable place - not a game, but an expierience.
I spent  a lot of time of research and reading - if are interested you can find a overview here: Kiel 1242. Main language is german but you can switch to English and Frensh.

Well wich tools did I use:

• Unity 2022.2.8.f1 HDRP
• Gaia Pro 2021 and Gena Pro 2021
  HDRP Time of Day
  some other plugins from Canopy
• Ambient Sounds
• BFG Environment Pack and Spawner

I need to integreate:

• Crest HDRP
• Game Creator 2
• Substance for Unity
• Prefabs from Nature Manufacture: Forest, Meadow and Mountain Environment - maybe R.A.M. - but I miss there the underwater expierience.

 

At my first tests this configuration "killed" my system - neverless I choose it again and hope it will work.

Assets I want to use

[FrankReiser]

If I use NM-assets I have to update the HDPR-packages and add some profiles.

R.A.M. HDRP-Package

Forest Environment HDRP-package

Meadow Environment HDRP-package

Mountain Enivronment HDRP-package

Drag and Drop HD-Profiles to Project Setting - Diffusion Profile List.

After that I saved project and scene. I also use Unity Version Control and build a new changeset after every step I did. 

Now I import the Canopy assets:
 

• BIG Environment Pack
• Gaia
• HDRP Time of Day
• Gena and Gena Extrusion Plugin
• Ambient Sounds
• BEPR Spawner Pack

This routine is explained here.

Then I installed the spawner package from Gena and the HDRP BEPR Package.

I import HDRP Time of Day without any deletings or changings like explained in some instructions.

Big Environment need a package update and same changes - I accept them all. 

[FrankReiser]

I got a lot of errors and warnings but I can all clear them and actual they didn't appear again after restart Unity.

As next step I import the HDRP content of BEPR Spawner Pack.

After a few hours of installion, importing and HDRP updating I start the HDRP Wizzard and select 
CONVERT ALL BUILD IN MATERIALS TO HDRP.

 

Big Environment Pack and Game Creator 2 need that. That needs a lot of time.
