Gaia Pro 2021 - Terrain & Scene Generator

Create beautiful scenes fast with Gaia Pro 2021!

Gaia is a powerful world generation, optimization and streaming system that creates stunning environments in minutes for mobile, vr, console and desktop.

Gaia gives you the workflow you prefer, from artist driven to fully procedural to deliver simple, fast and pretty terra-forming, texturing, planting and placement for everything from low poly stylized through to high-end photo-realistic environments.

Gaia saves time, money and frustration, by integrating what would normally be many expensive and complicated systems into one simple wizard-based system that automates the majority of the effort needed to make playable levels.

Gaia is backed by Canopy, with forums, a library with video and written articles that go over and above to teach you not only about Gaia, but also things like level design, lighting, optimization and more, and you can share your journey with our thriving and helpful community.

Gaia is growing. We are continually adding new Game Ready Levels, Procedural Spawner Packs, Stamp Packs and Micro Biomes that make it easy to create new and interesting variations on awesome. And with GeNa Pro you can further set dress your level to add roads, rivers, lakes, spline-based extrusions, and even sophisticated procedural structures and villages to make your scenes more interesting.

Gaia is AI/ML-enabled. We released Gaia ML as part of the Intel AI Game Dev Toolkit in partnership with Intel, and Gaia Pro 2021 is directly compatible. Grab Gaia ML, and then install Gaia Pro 2021 over the top to get the best of both worlds.

Gaia is used in education, defence, simulations, and a multitude of games such as Zenith, Last Epoch and Crowfall. Even NASA uses Gaia! Gaia has consistently been among the most popular tools on the asset store and was awarded "Best Artistic Tool" in the 2020 Unity Awards. Gaia Pro 2021 further evolves the platinum standard for world generation.

Gaia turns weeks and months of effort into hours and days, and with your beautiful worlds sorted, you can focus on creating the gameplay that really matters.

Still not sure?

Give Gaia 2021 a go instead. Gaia 2021 is a cut-down version of Gaia Pro 2021. The upgrade is discounted to ensure that you will not be out of pocket when you come back to Gaia Pro 2021!

Please note: Gaia is not a run-time terrain generation system, and is fully focused on terrain creation during design time.
