Documentation | Join Discord | Contact Welcome! All asset-related discussions are moving to Discord. Join us for more information, updates, if you experience any issues or if you just want to say hi! Please check the description, limitations, disclaimers before buying the asset! ⚠ Requirements The latest version of the Vegetation Engine is required for the module to work! The Vegetation Engine is a set of high-quality shaders and tools designed to unify 3rd party vegetation under the same system. Enable high-quality wind motion, interaction, seasons, wetness, subsurface, height-based blending, etc. for all vegetation assets with Standard, Universal, or HD Render Pipeline! ○ Overview While the Vegetation Engine shaders are designed for high poly meshes using PBR textures, the Polygonal shaders are tailored and optimized for low poly style assets. Use dynamic seasons, snow, wetness, wind, and interaction with any low poly asset from the store or made by you! ○ Compatibility The Polygonal Shaders Module supports the following Render Pipelines: ✓ Standard Render Pipeline 2021.3+ ✓ Universal Render Pipeline 2021.3+ / 2022.3+ / 2023.3+ ✓ HD Render Pipeline 2021.3+ / 2022.3+ / 2023.3+ The Polygonal Shaders Module has integration with the following 3rd party tools: ✓ Amplify Shader Editor - Full shader editing support ✓ GPU Instancer - Instanced Indirect support ✓ Nature Renderer - Procedural Instancing support ✓ Instant Renderer - Procedural Instancing support ✓ Vegetation Studio - Instanced Indirect support ✓ Vegetation Studio Pro - Instanced Indirect support The Polygonal Shaders Module supports the following add-ons: ✓ The Vegetation Engine • Amplify Impostors Module ✓ The Vegetation Engine • Terrain Elements Module ○ Features ✓ The Vegetation Engine systems supported: Motion, Seasons, Overlay, Wetness ✓ The Vegetation Engine elements supported: Colors, Overlay, Motion Interaction, Motion Direction, Motion Flow, Wind Power, Size Control ✓ Gradient Colors Tinting ✓ Camera Distance Fade ✓ Size Fade Settings ✓ Amplify Shader Editor support ✓ Zero global keywords used ✓ Demo scene and low poly assets included ○ Limitations 🞫 Shader Model 4.5+ capable devices are required (Desktop / High-End Mobile) 🞫 Scalable Ambient Obscurance is not supported in Forward Rendering 🞫 Beta and Alpha Unity versions are not officially supported 🞫 Vertex Lit shaders are not supported in HDRP ○ Disclaimers ⚑ The Vertex Lit shaders have 4x fewer shader instructions compared to the default shaders and they are suitable for mobile. Please keep in mind that using optimized shaders will not solve the performance optimizations on mobile! ⚑ The Polygonal shaders have features like snow, wetness, size fade, colors, and vertex elements support always enabled! They can be further optimized using the Amplify Base Function, by disabling the features you don't need! ○ More Assets ✓ The Vegetation Engine • Unified shaders for any asset ✓ The Vegetation Engine • Amplify Impostors Module ✓ The Vegetation Engine • Mobile Shaders Module ✓ The Vegetation Engine • Terrain Details Module ✓ The Vegetation Engine • Terrain Elements Module ✓ The Vegetation Engine • Terrain Blanket Module | NEW ✓ The Vegetation Engine • Terrain Shaders Module | NEW ✓ Atmospheric Height Fog • Optimized fog for consoles, mobile, and VR ✓ Polyverse Skies • Low poly skybox shaders ✓ Free Skybox Shader • Cubemap Extended shader
