SUMMARY
Advanced GPU wind shaders built with AMPLIFY SHADER EDITOR with global wind, turbulence, vegetation tinting, vegetation size, tree leaves amount and dynamic seasons support. Version 2.3 comes with more features, improved wind and new shader functions for one-click integration with any shader created with Amplify Shader Editor. Set your world in motion!
Each vegetation package on the store comes with its own foliage shaders and mesh wind encoding. The purpose of this set of tools is to unify any vegetation asset while using only a few highly customizable ADS shaders. Using the ADS CONVERTER tool, you will be able to make ANY custom mesh compatible with ADS.
