Stylized Kelp GPU is the easy way to bring life to your underwater scenes, using heavily optimized, physics-enabled kelp.🌊 Stylized Kelp GPU is a lightweight and highly optimized way to bring life and motion to your underwater scenes. Add swaying, physics-enabled kelp that looks great and performs smoothly — even in large environments.✨ Features🎨 Fully customizable appearanceColorLeaf color gradient (root → tip)Leaf width & heightStem segment heightStem & leaf gravityLeaves per stem segment🌬️ Wind simulation☀️ Subsurface scattering⚡ Physics & collision support (CPU)🚀 GPU-accelerated using instancing & compute shaders🎛️ Adjustable performance settings — only simulate kelp near the player🔗 Leverages VFX Graph and Shader Graph🌱 5 preconfigured, ready-to-use kelp types✨ Included Assets2 3D Models: Kelp stem segment & kelp leaf1 Leaf Texture✅ Graph Support for Full CustomizationKelp stem VFX GraphKelp stem Shader GraphKelp leaf VFX GraphKelp leaf Shader Graph⚠️ LimitationsIndividual kelp instances cannot be removed at runtime. You can remove or disable a kelp renderer to achieve a similar effect.Individual kelp instances cannot be added at runtime to a renderer that is already rendering kelp. However, you can create a new kelp renderer to add additional kelp.👉 If you need runtime add/remove of individual kelp plants, this asset may not be the right fit.2 shader graphs (stem & leaf)2 vfx graphs (stem & leaf)1 stem mesh1 leaf mesh1 leaf textureThe package uses compute shaders to efficiently simulate the kelp on the GPU. Without compute shaders the kelp cannot be rendered and will become inactive. Use SystemInfo.supportsComputeShaders to verify, that your target platform uses compute shaders.AI has been used for code completions and to review the enablement material.
