Not using OVRScreenFade, but you could use the code I posted for creating splash screens fade in/out:

http://talesfromtherift.com/vr-splash/

Basically, this can be done easily with Canvas UI Group Panel set to Black that is parented to the camera when you want to fade in/out. Then use an animation curve to animate the transparency for the fade effect.

HTH,

+1 for peterept's solution. If you really want to modify OVRScreenFade to support a fade-out, add something like this to it and then call StartFade() a couple of seconds before you switch scenes:

	public void StartFade()
	{
		StartCoroutine(FadeOut());
	}

	/// <summary>
	/// Fades alpha from 0.0 to 1.0
	/// </summary>
	IEnumerator FadeOut()
	{
		float elapsedTime = 0.0f;
		fadeMaterial.color = fadeColor;
		Color color = fadeColor;
		isFading = true;
		while (elapsedTime < fadeTime)
		{
			yield return fadeInstruction;
			elapsedTime += Time.deltaTime;
			color.a = Mathf.Clamp01(elapsedTime / fadeTime);
			fadeMaterial.color = color;
		}
		isFading = false;
	}

Thank you both, both methods were interesting to test out.

I went with the OVR Screen Fade method in this case just for ease for myself.
I've found when I call the StartFade the screen will flash black for a brief second then the fade starts. Can you think of any reason why this would be occuring?

Try this (untested by me):

IEnumerator FadeOut()
   {
      float elapsedTime = 0.0f;
      Color color = fadeColor;
      color.a = 0f;
      fadeMaterial.color = color;
      isFading = true;
      while (elapsedTime < fadeTime)
      {
         yield return fadeInstruction;
         elapsedTime += Time.deltaTime;
         color.a = Mathf.Clamp01(elapsedTime / fadeTime);
         fadeMaterial.color = color;
      }
      isFading = false;
   }

If it helps, attached is the script I used with animations to fade in, fade out and fade in-out.

Drag the prefab as a child of your main camera.

When you want to fade out, just use:

Fader.Instance.FadeOut(() =>
{
     Application.LoadLevel("Game");
});

This works perfectly! Thank you so much! 😄
I'm going to be using your method for my next demo Peter, it looks really handy to use!

Is there a more recent solution to this problem? These answers don't seem to be compatible with OVRScreenFade anymore! Thank you!

Hey @HannahTS95

Which version of the SDK are you using? There is now a native .FadeOut() function within OVRScreenFade.

Check for this:

    /// <summary>
    /// Start a fade out
    /// </summary>
    public void FadeOut()
    {
        StartCoroutine(Fade(0,1));
    }

Hope this helps!

Sorry, I am very new to coding in C#! Is there a way to call OVRScreenFade from another script so I can use .FadeOut() on a trigger?
