Gaia for Unity 2021 is an introductory version of the #1 reference terrain building tool that all others compare against. It's a powerful tool that allows you to craft stunning 3D worlds and environments for console, desktop, mobile, switch, and VR. With Gaia, you can generate detailed landscapes, terrains, and levels quickly and easily, saving you weeks and months of work. The tool is used by over 150,000 game developers and has been continually developed and supported since its launch in 2015.
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. The benefits of Gaia include:
- Intuitive rapid visual iteration
- Longevity in the asset store - will always be supported
- Customizable biomes to create any look you want
- Reusable biomes on any terrain in any scene
- Compatible, works with anything
Gaia supports terrain, trees, grass, water, and any other intricate biome you wish to create. It also works with GeNa roads and rivers to form a complete world creation platform, GTS for enhanced terrain rendering, and Ambient Sounds for beautiful soundscapes.
Gaia saves time, money, and frustration by integrating what would typically 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 and Gaia Pro VS are used in education, defense, simulations, and games such as Zenith, Last Epoch, and Crowfall.
The easy workflow for rapid prototyping and iteration includes:
- Select your world size, biome, and target platform
- Procedurally (or manually) generate your base terrain
- Procedurally texture, plant, and populate based on the biome you choose
- Optionally export versions of your world optimized for VR, mobile, or MMO's
- Set your lighting, wind, water, controllers, culling, and post fx with a click
- Press play and explore your world
- Iterate as needed
Gaia for Unity 6 comes with a minimal set of sample assets to give you a sense of what Gaia does, and to help you to learn how to use them. You can then choose your assets and customize the look and feel of your world to your taste, or you can upgrade to Gaia Pro VS for a much larger set of photogrammetry-based assets and biomes.
Gaia for Unity 2021 is fully supported and compatible with Unity 2020 LTS, 2021, and 2022 LTS and all render pipelines.
