Mobile Avatars SDK - 3/23 Build

[Ross_Beef]

Hey all,

I just updated the Avatars Unity integration, which you can find on dropbox here

Updated in this build:
* Fixes a bug in scenes with both combined and non-combined meshes (thanks @GEMISIS)
* Fixes a z-depth bug where mesh combining changed the layering of materials (thanks @twong_hulu)
* Fixed the z-fighting with single pass stereo rendering mode in Unity. We had reports of Z-fighting on the self occluding shader using single pass stereo - Also added a more optimal matrix multiply for the z-pass

Let me know if you have any issues or feedback

Best

Mike

UPDATE: I've just updated the build linked above, this should work without error.

Thanks Mike.
On the PC, will this still require and be compatible with the 1.13 Windows Oculus App?

[Ross_Beef]

Yes - there shouldn't be any changes in the SDK, these are all Unity based.

I tried to upgrade, but since I am on 5.3.8f1 the AvatarSurfaceShaderSelfOccluding will not compile. Seem to be because:

(Line 118) output.position = mul(UNITY_MATRIX_MVP, v.vertex);
was changed to 
(Line 119) output.position = UnityObjectToClipPos(v.vertex);

Going forwards - If Oculus could document/state which versions of Unity they've tested the SDK with (and both Android/GearVR avatars & PC/Rift avatars), that would be very useful information. Things often seem to work with one version of Unity, whilst breaking with other versions of Unity, so this would be a useful thing to add to the SDK documentation & ReadMe files.

We're using v5.4.5f1 of Unity here at the moment, and Android avatars built & worked with this version of Unity. I am currently testing the latest SDK & Oculus Home app (1.13) on Rift now (with Unity 5.4.5f1 too), so hopefully it will all just work.

Hey @phindle - it was my understanding that we had documented that we currently support 5.4 (I'd have to check exactly which flavor) but not 5.5.

That's a great piece of feedback though. I'll flag for follow up in our QA and (ultimately) documentation

[Ross_Beef]

@r0b0saru - I'll flag this one with the team. Might be an issue with Unity 5.3 not supporting the function?

We'll def need to follow up on that. I was worried that maybe 5.3 didn't have UnityObjectToClipPos, but it has it according to the docs.
