A stylized URP pack featuring historic covered wooden bridges, custom water, animated grass, and a ready-to-use demo scene.◼ EmaceArt Discord Community ◼Jump in to our Discord to Learn, Create and Share!Roadside Tales: Iowa Covered Bridges URP is the next installment in the series focused on the quiet story unfolding closest to the player — right by his road. Inspired by historic structures from the state of Iowa, these bridges introduce raw wood, classic red, and a rural American vibe to the project, perfectly reinforcing the close, local narrative of space.Includes 8 historic covered bridges in two structural designs and multiple weathered variants, along with structural elements to adjust layouts. The surrounding environment covers a complete riverside setting: custom water, animated grass, skybox, terrain layers, fences, and natural props — all LOD-optimized and ready to use.Additionally, the project includes an atmospheric demo scene featuring supporting assets from my other packages.Technical Details8 stylized covered bridge designs — historic plank-and-beam construction, ready to drop into any rural, fantasy, or low-poly sceneArch/pier support assets for extending or adjusting bridge spansCustom water shader (EA_CoolWater) with animated caustics — designed specifically to sit under or beside the bridgesStylized animated grass (EmacEArt_StylizedGrass) with a full in-editor GUI; wind speed, direction and density controllable without touching shader codeCustom procedural skybox (EmacSkyboxURP) with an in-editor colour editor5 hand-crafted terrain layers: Grass, Flower Field, Pebble Shore, Rock Slope, Leaf Forest — paint a complete riverside biome without additional assetsVegetation & props: trees, hay bales, rocks, wooden furniture (courtesy of bundled NatureForge LITE assets)Demo scene showcasing everything assembled in a countryside river environmentWhat's inside:Bridges — 8 prefabs2 structural designs × multiple weathered variants (a–e)Bridge Kit — 41 prefabsPier supports: 10Wooden structural elements: 7Wooden floors: 7Railings: 7Roofing sections: 2Columns: 2Walkway planks: 6Fences & Stakes — 25 prefabsPanel fences: 11 (big, curved, straight)Fence legs & posts: 9Ranch fences: 2Peg legs / stakes: 3Nature & Environment — 14 prefabsGravel bars (riverbank): 6Grass variants: 3 (live, dry, dead)Tree: 1Tree trunks: 2Rocks, roots, hay bales, branches (from bundled NatureForge LITE): 7 bonusTerrain — 7 layersGrass, Flower Field, Pebble Shore, Rock Slope, Sand Base, Mud Path, Leaf ForestShaders — 3 customWater (animated caustics), Stylized Grass (wind), Skybox (procedural)Scenes — 2Demo scene, Spline sceneRender Pipeline NoteThis package is configured to open in the Universal Render Pipeline (URP) by default upon import. If you intend to use the Built-in Render Pipeline, please refer to the included PDF documentation, which provides step-by-step instructions on how to properly convert and set up the project.Performance-friendly by defaultAlmost every prefab ships with a 3-level LODGroup pre-configured, so the pack is usable in mobile-targeted projects right out of the box. Median LOD0 complexity is around 1,000 triangles; the heaviest bridge prefab peaks at ~113K tris (useful as a hero asset in close-up cinematic shots).Atlas texturingAll meshes share a compact atlas-based UV layout. This means you can palette-swap the entire visual style — wood tone, roof colour, stone tint — by editing a single texture, with no material duplication.Included documentationURP Setup Guide (PDF) — covers post-processing profile, render pipeline asset settings, and common gotchas in Unity 2022+Stylized Grass Manual (PDF) — parameter reference for the grass shader🛠️ Check out other packs from the Roadside Tales seriesBuild a complete, artistically cohesive ecosystem and enhance environmental storytelling in your project. These free packs perfectly complement each other functionally, speeding up work on outdoor locations:Roadside Tales: Modular Fence Narrative Pack & Spline Tool (PRO) Supplement and Automation: A powerful extension of the fence base featuring the advanced EasyFenceTool. It allows for express, procedural placement of barriers along splines directly on the terrain, drastically accelerating level design and world boundary definition.Roadside Tales: Free Modular Fence Narrative Pack Free Base Boost: The perfect entry point to the ecosystem. It offers over 120 basic, lightweight fence and wall prefabs that work organically with the PRO version, allowing for quick detail density in backgrounds without impacting game performance.Roadside Tales: Free Modular Bridge Narrative Pack Natural Connection of Space: An essential addition to road infrastructure. It delivers ready-made, stylistically matched bridges that logically connect areas cut by rivers, ravines, or terrain drops, completing the composition of paths and tracks.Say Hi!
