To run HD or, URP, LW RP please import the pack to HD or URP, LW RP project and then import the support pack which is inside the asset in the "HD and LW RP support" folder or for unity 2019.3+ "HD and URP support". It will replace shaders, prefabs, and meshes so they will work with RP out of the box. Please also check the readme files inside that folder.

We mark screens HD RP and NON HD RP screens.

This pack is:

• Huge library of 100% scanned assets, carefully optimized, atlases, LOD’ed;

• Vegetation Studio Tree prefabs;
• 13 optimized beech trees with LOD’s and cross as last LOD;
• Trees are in types: plants, small tree, standalone tree, forest tree, dead tree;
• Tree triangles specification below;
• All textures contain:Albedo, Normalmap, Metallic, Height, AO, Smoothness;
• Non tesseled river, lake, swamp water trial from River Auto Material 2019 asset;
• HD and URP, LW RP and Standard demo scenes;
• HD RP demo from video;

2) Shaders:

• All shaders support Vegetation Studio instanced indirect out of the box;
• 3 grass shaders: lite, standard, specular;
• 4 standard shaders with auto texture cover by mask or by top (terrain blend);
• 1 cross shaders as last tree LOD
• bark and leaves shaders with metallic/specular variants;
• SRP Batcher supports Unity 2019.2+ LW, URP, AND HD RP;
• DOTS instancing support;
• automatic wetness support for HD and URP, LW RP 2019.2+ when an object touches river auto material water surface;

3) Ported wind shading from HD SRP:

• Advanced and cheap in rendering wind shading;
• Wind will be shared between all our assets;
• Wind works 1:1 like in HD SRP;
• Wind manages grass colors and normals;

4) Tools and Scripts:

• HD SRP ported wind to lower unity versions;

5) Additional support files:

• Post-process stack profiles;
• R.A.M road profile;
• LW, URP and HD RP unity support packages;

Technical details

• Trees specification - low overdraw and smart shaders which are gpu friendly.
• Trees LOD’s average tris:
  • Forest Tree :6000/1600/700/24(cross);
  • Big Forest : 20000-10000/4600-3000/2600-1600/24(cross);
  • Medium ;7000-5000/3000-1300/1400-500/24(cross);
  • Young :1000-500/500-200/27(cross);
  • Plant :400-160/200-130/24(cross);
  • Bushes: 600-130/130/50;
• All shaders use the same channels as unity standard shaders and support instantiating:
  • Metalic Shader: Albedo (RGB) // Metalic (R) Ambient Occlusion (G) Smothness (A) // Normal (RGB)
  • Specular Shader: Albedo (RGB) // Normal (RGB) // Specular (RGB) Smothness (A) // Ambient Occlusion (G)
• We use and advise you to use a such configuration in your project to save a lot of memory and GPU sources. Instead of separated 5-6 textures, you can use 3 combined textures, with the same result in unity standard shader as well as in our system. This config also makes this asset 100% compatible with HD SRP.
• Textures are 2048x2048 up to 4096x4096 resolution but they look very good also at a lower resolution. With packed and atlased structures they are very light for gGPUpu and memory.
