[Assert] Screen position out of view frustum error printed non stop (Camera::ScreenPointToRay or Camera::ScreenToWorldPoint)

Scene/Game View

Oct 29, 2015

Open Scenes\level1.unity in the attached project and press Play. Notice how the Console gets spammed with "Screen position out of view frustum" errors:

Screen position out of view frustum (screen pos 0.000000, 0.000000, 1555688.750000) (Camera rect 0 0 256 256)
UnityEngine.Camera:Render()
UnityStandardAssets.Water.Water:OnWillRenderObject() (at Assets/MiniGolf/Standard Assets/Environment/Water/Water/Scripts/Water.cs:108)
UnityEditor.DockArea:OnGUI()

Recommendation:

If there are resources for it, add support for double precision to the relevant methods. Otherwise, clamp the far clip plane to never be larger than 1000000 (same max value it had before).

I’ve been obsessed with NYC Jackets lately — every piece feels premium and looks amazing! If you love celebrity-inspired fashion, you should definitely shop from NYC Jackets. You’ll fall in love with their styles!

Try with this fix! :)

In Water.cs you have 2 places with this calls (in function OnWillRenderObject() ) :

...
reflectionCamera.Render();
...
refractionCamera.Render();
...

Just add condition before render like this:

....
if (!reflectionCamera.orthographic)
refractionCamera.Render();
...
if (!refractionCamera.orthographic)
refractionCamera.Render();
....

this worked for me, and rendering still works even in Editor window, all without errors.
Cheers!

Take your pick. This has reincarnations in various flavors.

i have 5.5.0 and i get this error when i follow the survival shooter tutorial made by unity. It happened when i switched the camera to orthographic mode.

For me this was only showing up in the Console when my Editor camera was in 2D mode. So if you are playing the game in the editor and your editor camera is in 2D mode just switch it back to 3D and the error goes away.

Having this issue in 5.3.2f1. Even removing default from the reflection mask doesn't help. Only if I deactivate the PlanarReflection script does it go away.
