Additional compatibility information

To run HD or URP please import the pack to HD or URP project and then import the support pack inside the asset in the "HD and URP support" folder ". It will replace scene and materials files so they will work with RP out of the box.

This pack contains 8 PBR mountain fir trees in 63 prefabs. (39 standard prefabs + 24 vegetation studio prefabs). Trees could be placed in a forest (special forest tree versions) or as standalone. All trees work perfectly with the unity terrain and Vegetation Studio system (separated prepared prefabs). They are carefully optimized and created from scanned data. Trees have low overdraw, and draw call usage and are very cheap in render. All trees contain very advanced wind shading. Trees could be overlayed dynamically by snow, this feature also gives the you ability to adjust the snow amount on trees in static scenes.

We prepared 6 kinds of tree prefabs:

• normal: where 4 from 8 trees have 2 bark materials for a cool blend at the bark
• cheap where all trees have 1 bark material (less draw calls) and all trees could use the same leaves and bark. This means that 8 types of trees will be batched together (very low draw calls for the whole forest).
• normal with dynamic snow
• cheap with dynamic snow
• normal with static snow
• cheap with static snow

In our pack you will find 4 aspects:

1) Different stages of trees like:

• plant
• small
• medium
• 2 big standalone
• 2 forest trees (less tri and shadows on the ground)
• dead tree

2) Group of textures for trees

• compressed in Albedo/Alpha; Normal; Metallic/AO/Smoothness for cheaper GPU render and less memory usage:
• snow set (5 textures)
• 14 bark sets (45 textures)
• leaves (4 textures)
• 16 cross-texture sets (32 textures)

3) Shaders:

• All shaders support Vegetation Studio instanced indirect out-of-the-box
• All shaders support Vegetation Studio Pro instanced indirect out-of-the-box
• 2 Cross shaders (no snow, snow),
• 4 Bark shaders (metallic, metallic snow, specular, specular snow)
• 4 leaves shader (metallic, metallic snow, specular, specular snow)
• snow is dynamic so trees could be covered at runtime.
• dynamic snow real-time update at Vegetation studio
• dynamic snow real-time update at Vegetation Studio pro work out of the box.
• you could adjust snow amount and snow distribution by 2 values (snow amount, snow threshold).

4) Advanced and cheap in render wind shading shared between our all assets:

Note: We advise using forest trees in the forest to get better light and performance results and standalone versions on forest borders and sometimes inside the forest. This setup will give the best visual and performance results.

Note2: In our screens, we used our: Advanced Foliage Pack (grass and ground textures), Advanced Rock Pack (rocks and rock shader), CTS (terrain shading), and third-party assets: Enviro (sky and light), Vegetation Studio ( foliage system)

Forest demo scene - download link and assets that it needs to run, are in YouTube video description. There are 2 versions (old unity below 2018.2 and new unity 2018.3+)

Technical details

Fir Trees LOD'S and triangles:

• Plant: 750/340/16 (cross)
• Small: 3900/1800/900/400/ 24 (cross)
• Medium: 10000/4100/2100/1000/30 (cross)
• Big Standalone: 16000/9000/5000/1300/30 (cross)
• Forest: 7000/2800/1400/400/32 (cross)

All textures are high quality from scanned data. Resolution is from 1024x2048 up to 4096x4096. They look very good also at lower resolution setup. You could match them to your goals. As trees have shared materials and textures drawcall and GPU usage is very low so it's good to hold even high resolution textures because they don't cost much.
