The Poiyomi Pro version can now be installed via com.poiyomi.pro VCC package, now available in the main VCC Repository.

This post goes over instructions as well as answering some frequently asked questions. The Download & Install instructions will also be updated with this new information as well.

Setup​

The setup of the Poiyomi Pro VCC package is fairly straightforward. It contains a script used to authenticate with your Patreon account in order to install the Poiyomi Pro package into your project. For the most part, you don't have to do much really.

To add Poiyomi Pro to your project using the VCC, ensure you already have added Poiyomi's VPM Repo to your VCC Client. If you haven't done this yet, go here and follow the instructions as we've updated the Download & Install instructions to accommodate this addition.

  1. Under Manage Project, look for the Poiyomi Pro package in the list and click the icon for it. The identifier is com.poiyomi.pro.
    • WARNING: This will also remove any existing installation of Poiyomi Shaders if detected!
  2. Launch your Unity Project.
  3. The script will automatically run and open a webpage in your default Web Browser. It will prompt you to authorize with your Patreon Account.
  4. Upon success, the webpage will say something like "Authentication Successful, you may now close this tab."
  5. Go back to your Unity Project and the script will automatically begin initiating a download of Poiyomi Pro into your project. It's that easy!

These instructions will be similar for other VCC clients such as ALCOM (which we recommend using!).

When importing com.poiyomi.pro to your project, it may automatically remove existing installs of Poiyomi Shaders so that there's no conflicts. There may be some bugs, so in that case you will need to manually remove Poiyomi Shaders folder from your project, followed by going into the Menu Bar and clicking Poi -> Pro -> Download Update to open the UI. Click the button that says Download Poiyomi Pro and it will request you to authenticate with Patreon. If successful, it will begin the process!

Frequently Asked Questions​

I have received errors in my project when attempting to use the new package. What do I do?

Please hop into our Discord Server and let us know! Software is not perfect, so there's always a possibility something may have gone unnoticed.

Does the script save my login info for future updates?

No. The script is intentionally designed to ensure you're an active Patreon subscriber in order to obtain updates.

The script doesn't automatically run when I install the package.

You can manually run the script by clicking Poi -> Pro -> Download Update in the Unity Menu Bar. Click the button that says Download Poiyomi Pro and it will begin the process as detailed in Step 3. of the setup instructions above.

About Discord

From this point forward, you will still need to link your Patreon with your Discord Account in order to receive tech support on the Pro Shader. As always, linking your Patreon to your Discord will unlock a fancy role, some perks, and access to the #paid-shader channel where you can also download the same package from.

VCC Support Coming Soon!​

This new website is the first steps in creating a VCC-compatible version of the Pro shader! Support for this is currently under development and should hopefully be available soon for all Patreons to use in the near future.

We hope you enjoy using the new website! As always, thank you for being a Patreon subscriber!
