The Procedural Terrain Shader Suite is a collection of high-performance, stylized systems designed for mobile, VR, and stylized environments. It includes a Procedural Terrain Shader, Full Opaque Grass Physics & Wind, and Full Opaque Interactive Water and Waterfall. These systems are optimized for large-scale, open-world environments and provide dynamic blending of terrain types, customizable materials, and seamless interaction with the environment.
The Procedural Terrain Shader dynamically blends terrain types like snow, dirt, cliffs, grass, and sand based on slope, height, and customizable values. It is fully customizable through Unity's material inspector and includes compatible opaque grass and water shaders for consistent visual quality.
The Full Opaque Grass Physics & Wind system provides high-performance grass rendering effects with a customizable wind system, optional dynamic grass physics, and ambient grass/firefly particles. The Full Opaque Interactive Water and Waterfall system is a high-performance, stylized water FX pack with customizable water shaders, a vertex paint tool, and a dynamic trail system.
These systems are designed to work together seamlessly, providing a realistic and immersive experience for your players. They are optimized for low-poly, mobile, and VR applications and are compatible with Unity's Universal Render Pipeline (URP).
