Gpu Animation Entities

Render massive crowds with zero CPU bottlenecks! GPU Animation Entities LITE is a high-performance, strictly DOTS/ECS-driven animation system designed for the Universal Render Pipeline (URP). By baking skeletal data into highly optimized BlobAssets and performing matrix skinning directly inside the Vertex Shader, this asset allows you to bypass traditional Animator overhead completely. Perfect for: - Swarm-survival games (Vampire Survivors-like) - Massive RTS games - City builders and factory simulators Customizable & Easy to Use: Includes out-of-the-box Shader Graph templates (Lit/Unlit). Add dissolve effects, cel-shaded outlines, or custom emission logic to your animated crowds in seconds. Just drag your standard GameObject into the custom Editor Window, click "Bake", and receive a fully configured DOTS Prefab ready to be spawned via ECS. ⚠️ LITE VERSION LIMITATIONS: This is a free version designed for testing performance and building simple projects. It includes: - Linear Blend Skinning (LBS) only. - Instant animation snapping (no crossfading). 👑 UPGRADE TO PRO: Need more features for a full-scale game?
