Hello again @trulgn, I am wholly making use of Unity (HDRP) lighting and shadow capabilities. Some of the foundational aspects are 'on by default' but not all of them. For instance, when I start a new scene - Unity lights do cast shadows by default. I often if not always adjust their quality settings along with the 'when and where' they influence the scene. I'll be creating a future video on Unity lighting and shadowing specifically for virtual production and filmmaking. This forthcoming video might serve you less than my upcoming video on my post-processing workflow, though (purely because Blender, your app of choice, will have its own way of doing things and I don't think much from Unity will carry over in this regard). You're welcome to watch it of course when it's released. I'm all for passing knowledge around.

I make use of HDRP's internal post-processing stack (chiefly chromatic aberration, global illumination, ambient occlusion, depth of field, color adjustments, and a number of others that escape my mind to mention in this moment). I manually adjust each post-processing effect by eye to achieve the result I find pleasing to my own sensibilities (I've found no 'magic button' to click for cinematic). I also find that what works for one scene is not always going to work for another scene. It may be possible to automate the application of your 'go-to' post-processing component effects - but the parameters for each will need a human touch to 'bring the plane in with finesse'. I'll be making a future video outlining the effects I apply and demonstrating their contribution to the final outcome on a scene. It will be in Unity - while it won't be Blender, perhaps the high level overview may still provide insights you can take into Blender and your own workflow. If that's something you're interested in - it's coming (I don't know when exactly, so with all humility this might be an appropriate non-spammy moment for me to mention signing up for notifications, but no pressure. This is a community channel and I don't intend it to be a 'spammy growth' channel.)

@@unityvirtualproduction yes will add the notification. Thanks for such as informed descriptive reply.

make sure the near value of the camera is close to 0

it appears in game view until you run the game. Anyone wanna chime in?

You’re super welcome.

Yes, there are! Would you like this to be my next video?

Unity is notorious for changing naming conventions and locations of functionality from update to update. I've been spending more time within URP lately, but I'll look into this for you.

Good question, my first inclination is to use the UA-cam video as a video source within OBS. Then use OBS as a virtual camera output source that is brought into Unity and projected onto a Plane / Quad. Is this something you would like to see a video on? Have you found a better way?

Think of using Unity's Animation Rigging Package as a tool for prepping a model for animating. And think of UMotion as a tool for creating actual animations that can be used on a rigged model. These tools sort of work in tandem, this way.

Yes! Great question with a reliable answer. You can use Box Volumes & Sphere Volumes (with fog overrides for each) to create specific pockets of dense or thin fog. Volumes will fade in and out as you move between them. You could create a clear mountain top and a fog filled valley this way! Wafting smoke could likely be created using an animated noise pattern.

@@unityvirtualproduction Awesome! Thanks for the feedback! Do you have any ideas how I could mix noise patterns into a fog volume or code a some simple volumetric smoke based on a noise pattern?

@@photonpotato2490 Here's a video just for you. I hope it is helpful!

@@unityvirtualproduction Hello again, I don't know if you were trying to link a video, but it didn't show up. Thanks again for your help!

@@photonpotato2490 Let me try linking this again, lol. ua-cam.com/video/8pgi1TBGCKM/v-deo.html

For Rendering & Exporting: I alternate between two solutions. One way is to use Unity Recorder to export your movie. The second option I enjoy using is Deckard Renderer. FYI, Unity Recorder is suited for Real-Time Export (machine dependent of course!). And Deckard Renderer is a much slower than real-time exporter (albeit, of much higher quality output). Each has their own use cases.

Yes! I use OBS to turn any webcam or connected video device into a 'Virtual Camera Source' using the streaming output option in OBS. Simultaneous output can be done. My current setup isn't ideal, but I would be happy to make a video on the topic or to do a live stream.

Okay, Deal! I'll get on it right away.

Hipernt, what are some aspects to Unity which you would like to see future videos created for?

You found the answer! I can verify this DOES WORK! Thank you Big Smoke!!

Confirmed for me as well, thank you both!
