I made a Light Volumes debugging tool that can be integrated into avatars!

アバターやワールド向けのGame Boy Advance風プロップ！パララックスで内部を表現し、光をぼかし・屈折、VRCLV＆Unityライティング対応、FPSグラフ表示やGIF再生も可能！Boothで公開中: redsim.booth.pm/items/7272387

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!

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!

Apple Liquid Glass VRC Light Volumes support coming soon...

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.

VRC Light Volumes v.1.0.0 released! A VRChat asset that brings nextgen voxel based lighting into your worlds! Get it here for free on my GitHub: github.com/REDSIM/VRCLi...

VRC Light Volumes AudioLink support! Just imagine VRChat clubs using this! Minimal performance cost and buttery-smooth FPS, even on potato PCs.
Thanks to @vard.cc for integrating AudioLink support

I just implemented dynamic additive Light Volumes feature! It can be used as super optimized real-time lights. No shadow casting but still looks cool. Here I also integrated it into Silent's Filamented shader to make it work with lightmaps on baked objects too.

This week I've been working on the VRChat Light Volumes scripts to bring you an easy and comfortable editor workflow. I also implemented the Volumes rotation feature and optimized the shader a lot to make it work even more solid on potatoe-PCs. Here's a small video of how it currently works.
