Experiment with porting @sim.red 's excellent VRC Light Volumes to #VNyan (and other general Unity contexts)
This voxel-based light system by RED_SIM is unbelievably performant, allowing you to create complex lighting effects while going easy on your framerate.
Coming soon™ to a plugin near you!

Release VRC Light Volumes v.2.1.2 · REDSIM/VRCLightVolumes
Changes in version v.2.1.2:
Downscaling worked wrong with LV shadowmasks. Fixed.
Changes in version v.2.1.1:
Downscaling hot-fix! Previously it didn't work because of a very stupid "typo"

Anyways, here you can see the "Femboy Advanced" Camera in action
I'm glad I managed to emulate the crappy Framerate in the shader too :D (Probably still a bit too high)

Point Light Volumes with animated cubemap projections! Can't wait to see pool worlds using this.
By the way, you can bake 3D shadow masks to cull the projections in places where they shouldn't be!

I hope this makes it onto the VCC Curated packages list soon given it encourages people to optimise their worlds and use baked lighting which is a big issue in some worlds

Light Volumes v.2.0.0 released!
Now it has Light Volume based super optimized analytical Point Lights, Spot Lights and Area Lights. (Up to 128 at the same time)
Ability to project images and cubemaps.
Also baked shadow masks and even more features!

Just reworked the light sources attenuation in VRC Light Volumes 2.0 You'll be able to set the size of a light source itself, like a bulb's radius, instead of setting the range of the light. It's completely different comparing to Unity's lights, but the overall visual look is more physically correct

Light Volumes 2.0 will support baked 3D shadows for point and spot lights, and that's how it can be used!
Thanks to @pema99.bsky.social for implementing this feature!

WOW...this 2.0 update for LightVolumes + the Baked Volumetric Edit is HUGE for stage lighting!
There are no projection meshes, nor volumetric meshes, just light volumes and fog.
@sim.red you are a wizard🧙
@ikeiwa.dev you too are amazing for the continued support with the updates to the fog!

Area Light Volumes... Thanks to @pema99.bsky.social for implementing and contributing such an amazing feature to VRC Light Volumes! I can already imagine people using it as studio softboxes for photography!

Now Point Light Volumes supports Cubemap projections! Volumetric fog makes it look just stunning!
But here's some bad news...
If I release it, all world creators will need to update their worlds to the new Light Volumes version. Otherwise it will break the back compatibility.

Point Light Volumes prototype! They can be both Point and Spot Lights, can be calculated mathematically or use a special LUT texture that controls the cone falloff and attenuation! Up to 128 lights per scene. Works up to 3- 4 time faster than regular Light Volumes. AudioLink works too!

Spot Light Volumes! Everything is parametric here and not baked into a 3D texture, as regular light volumes, which makes it even more optimized. Will work on it a little bit more and see if it's worth to add it to the main project branch.

Point Light Volumes? Not sure if I will integrate it, but I just don't like people using baked volumes as fake point lights and spot lights. Integration for shader makers would just require to update my .cginc file I provide. For people - to update the shader and reupload their avatars again.
