A shader focused on delivering stunning visual and tactile grass for Unity 6 (URP)Minimum requirement is Unity 6000.0.22f1 where Render Graph must be enabled. For Unity 2021-2023 support see this asset.🔗 Full compatibility details« A license for this asset guarantees access to updates for Unity 6.0 - 6.4, and potentially later versions. »📄 Documentation | 🟣 Discord | 💬 Forum | ⚙️ Compatibility——————————————————————————————————UNITY 6 UPGRADE - This asset is a revised version for Unity 6 support.What's new in v2?• Revised for Unity 6. Ready for the current editor generation.∟ Rewritten rendering code for the Render Graph API.• Updated shader code∟ Support for APV, rendering layers (including decals), motion vectors & GI baking• Updated integrations∟ Nature Renderer 6, GPU Instancer Pro. Now auto-configured!• Prefab conversion utility∟ Easily baked wind/shading weights into meshes.🎁 Users of the Unity 2019-2023 version are granted a 20% upgrade discount. A migration utility is included!——————————————————————————————————🧑🔬 Backed by 10 years of experience developing vegetation shading. Ready to take advantage of.🌿 Lush wind animationsAmbient and gusting wind. Supports dynamic speed/direction changes (through a Wind Zone)🫸Easy to use interaction systemBending and flattening through trails, meshes or particle effects.⛰️ Color blending with terrain surfaceSupports tiled setups and mesh-based terrains🕶️ Shading features• Per object and per vertex color variation, breaks up visual repetition• Sun light translucency rendering, greatly enhances lighting.• Perspective correction, for optimal coverage when viewed from top-down• Angle fading, fades out faces not oriented to the camera• Near/far distance fading⚙️ Technical features• SRP Batching and GPU Resident Drawer compatible• Physically-based or simple shading mode (similar to the Lit and Simple Lit shaders)• Bending functionality does not use a 2nd camera! Best in class performance! (No overhead for additional culling and batching)• Expertly crafted hand-written shader, for optimal efficiency. Produced for professionals.✔️ Compatibility• Universal Render Pipeline (URP) 17+ (excluding the Built-in RP & HDRP)• PC, macOS (OpenGL/Metal), Consoles.• Desktop VR-ready• Automatic integration for Foliage Renderer 2, Nature Renderer 6, GPU Instancer Pro, and Vegetation Studio (Beyond). No shader patching needed!🚧 Limitations• Not a grass placement/render tool (documentation includes tips)• Not suitable for mobile platforms.• Wind animations do not contribute to motion vector rendering[ Asset Store's refund policy ]📌 Full compatibilty details are outlined here.Grass is composed out of regular individual meshes, unlike a geometry shader. All techniques have pros and cons!Performance will highly depend on the method used for rendering (see documentation)All content is authored for the linear color space.Color map baking is typically limited to 4x4km landscapes (quality wise!).LOD crossfading can induce flickering for the object's cast shadows, due to a design restriction in URPGrass bending takes effect on any grass below the bending object, as such it can't be made to work on multiple height levelsGrass bending is projected in a top-down fashion, and won't work on spherical worlds.
