The built-in Unity spatialization is really basic (I’m pretty sure it’s just panning and an optional lowpass filter for things behind you), whereas the 3DCeption uses some sort of generalized HRTF. We’ve been using it in Unity for a couple months now and it’s been working out really well. I tried out a bunch of the various spatializer plugins for Unity and theirs definitely sounds the best, and seems pretty CPU efficient. Some of the others either had really weak directional cues, or had strong cues but did weird things to the sound (particularly when doing doppler pitch shifts). Their room modeling only supports a shoebox model that you place in your scene to approximate the size of the environment, but you can change the per-wall reflectance so e.g. if you have an outdoor parking lot you can have a reflective floor but no walls or ceiling. You can also put multiple boxes around and it’ll take care of switching into the correct one as you move the player around. Come to think of it I’m not sure how they handle sources in one box and the player in another… On their site they say they have a more sophisticated room modeling system with occlusion and more complex geometry, so we’ll see where that goes. The ability to put B-format content in your scenes is also super awesome. -s _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound - unsubscribe here, edit account or options, view archives and so on.
