SITUATION
This is my first time using the VFX Graph. I am making a tornado effect. I just started the process of adding dust particles around the tornado but I already hit an obstacle right off the bat.
PROBLEM
For some reason the dust particles keep rendering on top of the tornado.
DESCRIPTION
In the "Initialize" context I have a "Set position (Shape: Arc circle)" so they spawn around my tornado. No matter how big I make its radius, they always appear in front of the tornado itself.

I tried fiddling with all of the settings that seemed like they could affect this but nothing helped. I have both graphs within the same VFX file:
TORNADO GRAPH
DUST PARTICLES GRAPH
What am I doing wrong?
Outside of VFX graph editor, select your VFX object, and in the inspector rearrange the effects to get the desired ordering

Both hand with disappear in the game and scene if i get close enough or look at them any solution. m using unity URP:
it only happens when using animation rigging
Make sure the bounding boxes (i.e Bounds) of your SkinnedMeshRenderers are set to correct dimensions. Culling decisions are made based on those boxes. If they are too small, the mesh might get culled even if it's still visible.
You can also check "Update When Off Screen" to have the bounds updated while animating. This does come at a slight performance cost however, so see if it's suitable for you.
I saw the scene OutlineExamples in the MRTK examples package and recreated it in my own project.
The outlining works if I stay in unity in play mode. But if I deploy it on the HoloLens the object does not get a outline effect.
The OutlineExamples scene from the MRTKHub-project works as excpected on the HoloLens!
So I guess I missed something in my own project, but I cant find it. I compared the setup multiple times, but cant find a difference. And I also used the simplest object (the cube) from the example scene.
Setup for the cube
(the screenshot shows on the left side my project and on the right side the mrtkhub-project):
Mesh Filter (standard)
Mesh Renderer (standard)
Box Collider (standard)
MeshOutline with the Material "OutlineOrange" or "OutlineGreen" (added)
Object Manipulator (added)
Constraint Manager (added)
The only thing that I had to setup after adding the as "added" marked compenents, was the material for the MeshOutline component.
Is there something else someone has to setup to see the outline shader on the HoloLens?
My Setup:
Unity 2020.3.30
MRTK 2.7.3
Visual Studio 2019
What else did I check?
The XR Plug-in Management is set up the same way
--EDIT
I noticed something strange and I guess this will help someone who knows more about shader!
I launched my application on the HoloLens, grabbed the cube and put it in front of a window in my room. While placing the cube in front of the window, I saw the outline! But as soon as I move it outside the window area, the outline disappears! Another aspect is that I'm using the spatial mapping from MRTK. That means that the window does not get meshed, only the walls. And I guess the walls have their own shader on it, right?
So the spatial mesh shader and the outline shader "dont like each other". Is this possible?
The user derHugo gave me a hint that led to the solution! I went to the material, that I use on the cube and changed the property Render Queue Override under Advanced Options to a higher value than the material MRTK_Occlusion, which is used for the spatial mapping, has.
I just can't seem to get motion blur to work in my Unity game. I have added the Post Processing package, created a custom layer for it, added a Post Process Layer to my camera, a Post Process Volume object to my scene and I've linked them together using a dedicated layer. I've also added the effects I want to the Post Processing Profile.
I'm pretty sure I've done this all correctly as I have successfully added many post processing effects, including Bloom, Vignette, Depth of Field and Lens Distortion. These work fine. But when I add Motion Blur, despite turning the Sample Count to maximum, there simply doesn't seem to be a difference.
My scene is very simple at the moment, containing only a sphere with its normals inverted, centred around a user-controlled camera - the standard '360 Degree Photo' setup, basically. There are no lights and I am using a bright white ambient light to illuminate everything equally and optimally. The render pipeline is the default one for 3D games.
I have tried both spinning the camera AND spinning the sphere using the mouse. Neither seems to result in any appreciable blur. Anyone know why this is not working?

I've created following scene:
What you see is the light shining through a window to the back wall of the room. Outside is a tree blowing in the wind. What I'm trying to simulate it a stormy weather, so I need to add rain to the scenery as well. However, I just need it as a shadow through the window. How is this done, can it simply be done through Unity's Particle System, or do I need shader etc.?
Use particle system, it has Renderer Module where you can play around with material/texture/shader to get the desired result.
I would go for a grey/black colour to make it look like a shadow
I'm new to Lighting in 3D. Just started working with Unity3D. I was creating a sample for myself to test shadows and there is a problem.
As you can see that i have created two simple walls with two cubes. Also I have setup a directional light. Let's go the backside of the walls to view the problem
Technically the front wall should be blocking the shadow of the back wall. But it is not. I have painted a read line to show that where the shadow of front wall is overlapping the shadow of the other, meaning going all the was through the wall. Why is that happening. Help please...
set your shader to DIFFUSE. i have the same problem and solved this. my spotlight is passing thor
that is interesting indeed, i have used unity3d for 5 plus years and never seen or noticed this. however, this might seem like a weird request, could you set the ground and the two cubes to bumped diffuse and make sure the cubes are touching the ground.
Since the shader that is used might allow shadows to pass, secondly, could you go to player settings and check if you are using forward of differed rendering, since their lighting techniques are very different they might have different results.
but all in all, best guess is that the shader you are using allows shadows to pass.
