Volume and Profile

Learn the Volume and Profile structure.

What are Volume and Profile?

A Volume is the component that decides in which region of the scene the effects apply. A Profile is the asset that stores the effect settings. A Volume uses the effects by having a Profile attached.

volume.profile = profil;
profil.overrideState = true;

Overlapping volumes blend with each other to decide the result.

The concept of override

An override is enabling an effect inside that Profile and changing its values. When the override is off, the effect runs with its default values or is not applied at all. In the Inspector, every effect has an override option at its top.

profil.efekt.overrideState = true;
profil.efekt.intensity.value = 0.6f;

This way you can use any effect at any value you want.

Exercise Profile record

In a class named ProfilKaydi, define a string bolge field with the value "AnaBolge" and a string profil field with the value "SahneProfili". In the Start method, print the pieces "Volume: ", bolge, " Profil: " and profil joined together with Debug.Log.

Show example solution

using UnityEngine;

public class ProfilKaydi : MonoBehaviour
{
    string bolge = "AnaBolge";
    string profil = "SahneProfili";

    void Start()
    {
        Debug.Log("Volume: " + bolge + " Profil: " + profil);
    }
}
