Nature Shaders is a collection of shaders for your vegetation that brings you player interaction, wind simulations, better quality lighting, and more.The shaders work out-of-the-box in all render pipelines, without any additional setup. You can use your vegetation models in all render pipelines, even if the vegetation was not created for that specific pipeline.ⓘ Before purchasing, please make sure to check the Supported Unity Versions, and to read our Refund Policy and Support Policy.ⓘ You are looking at Nature Shaders 2022, which is compatible with Unity 2022. For other versions, please take a look at Nature Shaders 2020 or Nature Shaders 2021.Interaction, wind, and better shading for your vegetation.Nature Shaders is a collection of shaders for your vegetation that brings you player interaction, wind simulations, better quality shading, and more.You can easily convert and import models from any source, such as SpeedTree, Megascans, or other assets from the Unity Asset Store. Nature Shaders’ unique algorithm automatically analyzes the models and materials and converts them for you.The shaders are built upon a shader-framework that is trusted and used by over 25,000 developers. You can expect polished, easy-to-use, and well-optimized shaders, with extensive documentation.Website • Quickstart • Documentation • TwitterSupports all render pipelinesThe shaders work out-of-the-box in all render pipelines, without any additional setup. You can use your vegetation models in all render pipelines, even if the vegetation was not created for that specific pipeline.One-click SetupJust click on a prefab and convert it to a Nature Asset, and the prefab and materials are converted and configured for you automatically.FEATURES―――InteractionPush down grass, have plants sway, and leave a trail behind objects. Any object in the scene can interact with vegetation. The only thing you need to do is add a collider to the object.WindSimulate the wind passing through your vegetation, from calm days to violent storms.TranslucencySimulate light passing through leaves. This results in more realistic lighting that shades your vegetation correctly in all lighting conditions.Color CorrectionChange the color of vegetation using accurate color correction methods. You can even add color variations for the same vegetation throughout the scene.Perspective CorrectionTilt grass away from the camera when looked at from a top-down perspective. This creates a more dense and realistic look.Dynamic MaskingRemove vegetation within a specific area, or reduce the density. Useful to hide vegetation under buildings, to let the player cut grass, or to create unique game mechanics.Dynamic Color OverlayChange the color of vegetation within a specific area of your scene. These areas can be created, moved, and changed dynamically.Convert MeshesMeshes are analyzed using Nature Shaders' unique algorithm to identify tree branches, leaves, and other vegetation shapes. These shapes are then used to configure wind and interaction automatically. There is no need for manual configuration of models or meshes.Convert/Import from:✔ SpeedTree✔ Quixel Megascans✔ Unity's Tree Creator✔ Any Asset Store asset✔ Custom models created by your teamConvert MaterialsMaterials are converted automatically using the included conversion profiles. This will automatically copy properties, and remap them if needed.LICENSE―――License Info✔ Perpetual License✔ Commercial Use✔ Unlimited Users¹¹This license allows for unlimited users within a single location of your business.
