#Relatable

Hello, I've been buying comics on Itch and it's great. But twice this week I have gone to buy a comic, and the comic is on Itch in several small "volumes". Clicking through purchase for all of them is slow and annoying. I would like to be able to select multiple items and buy them all at once.

I see a version of this has been suggested: https://itch.io/t/3818408/any-updates-on-implementing-a-shopping-cart-feature-on...

And the answer was no because different vendors may have different payment setups.

However, to me it would be a big UX improvement just to be able to buy multiple items at once from *one vendor*! And such a UI might be a lower engineering burden than creating a general "shopping cart" system.

Could this be possible?

There are various functions that are used in the built-in snippets. For example looking at the MaterialSnippets I see clamp(), tex3D_2D() and tex2Dlod().  Some of these are in the Cg documentation, like tex2Dlod. But tex3D_2D is not, and tex3D_2D seems to be doing something unusual (it's like it's overlaying 2 copies of a 2d texture on itself?)

Can you confirm that *all* of the "snippets" (not just materials?) have the Cg standard functions available?

Can you document the additional symbols/functions which we can assume are present in the snippet namespace? Alternately, is there a file somewhere that we can browse their names?

Finally, some of the input types for MaterialSnippet are not documented. The one which interests me is "Texture 3D", which I would love to use. What file format does this expect for its input? Unity does not as far as I know have a standard file format for 3D textures.

Thanks.

I am looking at the instructions for material snippets:

https://kev.town/raymarching/reference/snippets/

…and I have tried creating a material snippet by duplicating one of the material snippets in Snippets/Materials.

I find that I can return a single color, and that color will be dutifully shaded according to lighting and then shadowed.

But let's say I want to write my own shading— I want to draw a solid color, or cel-shade, or rim shade or whatnot. Can this be customized?

I have OS X 10.13.2 and Unity 2018.2.0b9 installed from Unity Hub. I imported the Raymarching Toolkit unityproject into a new empty project. During the import I got several warnings, which I did not write down. I then attempted to add a "Raymarcher" object to the project by right-clicking. Upon adding, I got the following error.

On 2017.4.6f1, I do not have any problems with the raymarch toolkit at all. If I create a working raymarch-toolkit scene in 2017.4.6f1, and import it into 2018.2.0b9, I get again an exception concerning set_colorKeys when I hit "play" and the scene does not run.

UnityException: set_colorKeys is not allowed to be called during serialization, call it from OnEnable instead. Called from ScriptableObject 'ObjectSnippet'.

See "Script Serialization" page in the Unity Manual for further details.

Can you clarify— It says it's distributed as "a DLL"— is that a *Windows* DLL or a *.NET bytecode* DLL?
