A powerful procedural terrain generator that delivers immersive environments at ease using graph based workflow & GPU calculation.OVERVIEWVista-product-line is an advanced yet easy to use modular toolset for procedural terrain and scene editing.Empowered by massive GPU calculation, robust biomes system and a huge library of nodes with realistic nature simulations, Vista offers the best terrain creation workflow and experiences you can find nowhere on the Asset Store.Vista has the following characteristics:Non-linear: You can combine nodes in any order to define the terrains, and output multiple data (height, color, vegetation, etc.) at once.Non-destructive: Your terrains and scenes are generated using rules defined in the graph, modifying a single property of the graph will give you a whole new terrain. If you want to, you can reverse the previous result without losing any of your work.Parametric: You can control nearly every aspect of your terrains just by playing around with simple numbers, the terrains will adapt without sweating. That way you can have infinite variations in a single graph.Local: Your terrains are mixed by a set of “local biomes” manually placed in the scene. This way it’s easier for you to control the scene layout and it fits better to your game’s story.FEATURESEasy to learn: Despite being an advanced graph tool, it is easy to get started with quick start tutorials, in-depth documentations and demos.GPU accelerated: Everything is generated on the GPU side, which mean you can have higher resolution in less time.Multi-terrains: Generated data can fill in multiple terrains without seams.Robust biomes system: You can place many biomes in the scene, in any shapes. These biomes will be blended together with a very nice transition. Different from other generators where biomes are defined by gradient mask, Vista let you place them by hand, so you have total control of the scene structure and the story behind.Fully featured graph editor: Built upon Unity's GraphView API, it offers a clean and orgranized workspace to keep you productive.Terrain authoring: From terraforming, texturing, to tree planting and detailing, you have all the tools you need.Work with many terrain systems: Currently it works with Unity terrain and Polaris terrain. Other terrain systems can be supported via scripting.Node library: A huge and growing node library to turn your creativity to reality, with complex and realistic nature simulation such as hydraulic erosion, landslide, gravity, crack, snow fall, water flow, etc. Seed based generation: Generate an infinite number of terrain variants just by changing seed numbers.Editor & runtime: It works both in editor and runtime, fast and beautiful.Extensible: You can easily customize the pipeline, do custom tasks or write your own nodes using the provided API.Lightweight but powerful: No need to dumb a multi-gigabytes asset into your project. It only costs you a few megabytes but still yield satistying results.Big world creation: Advanced features for more ambitious levels, upto 4K textures, multi-biomes workflow, complex nodes and simulations.Enhanced productivity*: A pleasured editing experience in the modern graph editor, faster, smarter and stay organized.MicroSplat integration*: Easily apply MicroSplat shader on your terrains.Hand painting*: Apply manual adjusments with brush. A mixture of powerful generators and clever fingers.Splines*: Perform action along a spline such as height conforming, paint path, clear vegetation, etc.Nav Mesh Utilities*: Create static mesh in aid of navigation baking.Real World Data*: Generate terrains from real world digital elevation (DEM) and satellite images.Expose Property*: Expose the most important properties of the graph to the outside for customization & workflow enhancement.* Features sold separately as extension modules.VISTA vs VISTA PROThis is a more powerful version of the core asset, with the following worth-noting features:Multi-biomes workflow: Place an unlimited biome in the scene and let them blend nicely together.Up to 4K textures for each biome: More pixels, more coverage, more detail.Extended node library:CrackDefault ValueFlatten AtGeometry MaskGradient MapLandslideLayered NoiseSlideSnow FallSplatterThermal ErosionWater FlowMore in the futureINSTALLATION & DEPENDENCIESYou need to install the core asset first, which is free to use.The following packages are required for the tool to work:Searcher (com.unity.searcher)Editor Coroutines (com.unity.editorcoroutines)These packages will be added to your project automatically. If not, please check the Package Manager.REQUIREMENTSUnity 2021.3 LTS and up.Compute shaders support. The asset is heavily built upon compute shaders and compute buffers. This is supported on most machines if you use the asset in the editor only. Learn more.Instancing support. Some parts of the asset require GPU Instancing to work. Learn more.TESTED ONWindows machine running DX12, DX11 & Vulkan.Mac machine running Metal.Please contact if you need a test on other configuration.SUPPORTED RENDER PIPELINESStandard RP.Universal RP.High Definition RP.COMPATIBILITYPolaris: Output generated data to low poly terrain.MicroSplat: Update your MicroSplat texture array configs & FX maps with ease.DOCUMENTATIONManualCOMMUNITYFacebook | YouTube | DiscordNOTESome art assets in the videos/screenshots are NOT included in this package.The videos/screenshots are for demo purpose, that can features some extension modules of the asset.
