Nature Shaders 2021 is a collection of shaders for vegetation that brings player interaction, wind simulations, and better quality lighting to your Unity projects. With its unique algorithm, you can easily convert and import models from various sources, such as SpeedTree, Megascans, or other assets from the Unity Asset Store. The shaders are built upon a trusted shader-framework and are well-optimized for performance. They support all render pipelines and can be used in various Unity versions, including Unity 2021.3 LTS. The package includes features like interaction, wind, translucency, color correction, perspective correction, dynamic masking, and dynamic color overlay. It also allows for converting meshes and materials automatically, making it easy to use in your projects.
Seamlessly integrated with Nature Renderer
Supported render pipelines and Unity versions:
- Standard/Built-In: Unity 2021.3 LTS
- High-Definition: Unity 2021.3 LTS
- Universal: Unity 2021.3 LTS
Technical Details:
- Supports billboards
- Supports VR
- Supports Forward and Deferred rendering
- Supports LOD crossfade
- Quality Settings can be changed at runtime
- API available to create and edit materials at runtime
- Shaders use HLSL code and can be modified
- Raytracing in HDRP is not supported
Notes and Limitations:
- The shaders are intended to be used with instancing. Static batching is not supported.
- Nature Shaders is a collection of shaders, it is not a rendering engine or placement tool.
- Interaction is supported for grass and (small) plants. Trees do not support interaction.
- 3D models and scenes shown in screenshots are not included.
- This asset ships with plugins, C# source code is not included.
- Alpha and Beta versions of Unity and preview packages are not supported.
- Converting meshes and materials is not a one-on-one conversion. The result will be similar to the original asset, but Nature Shaders may have different lighting, colors, features, or wind animations compared to the original asset.
- Only the latest LTS version of Unity is supported. Nature Shaders does not officially support Unity's Tech releases.
