Due to the older design, once the asset and the modules started to grow, they were harder to maintain and to add new features. The Visual Engine is a new product, completely re-designed to be more extensible, more powerful, easier to use, and it comes with dozens of new features! Check out the comparison highlights and more details here! ○ The Visual Engine The Visual Engine is a set of next-level shaders and powerful tools designed to unify any asset from the Unity Asset Store, Megascans, Speedtree, Tree Creator, and more, or custom models made by your team. Enable high-quality wind motion, interaction, local wind control, seasons, wetness, dynamic rain, advanced snow, subsurface scattering, layers for scans and moss, top projection, detail blending, gradient and variation tint, vertex occlusion, perspective correction, camera distance fade, glancing angle fade, crossfade, size fade, and more, for all vegetation assets and props with Standard, Universal, or HD Render Pipeline! ○ Advanced Systems The Visual Engine comes with a one-click conversion workflow for 3rd party assets. Once converted, the assets are fully compatible with all features provided by the asset and will work in all render pipelines! The converter uses text-based presets with an easy-to-use but comprehensive API. One click, everything unified! The Visual Engine comes with a comprehensive set of modular elements, used for motion and interaction with unlimited characters, local wind, dynamic seasons, global overlay (snow, sand, dust), wetness, tinting, size control, and leaves amount with minimal performance impact! The elements work with layers, so you can customize how each material is affected globally by each element used in the scene. The Visual Engine includes an advanced Material Manager tool to set the settings for multiple materials or prefabs at once or save and apply presets. Use the Shader Manager to add support to the most popular instanced indirect renderer and use the Scene Debugger to check any aspect regarding rendering or shader settings! ○ Community With constant updates and improvements, all BOXOPHOBIC assets are trusted by tens of thousands of game developers.
