Join us for more information, updates, if you experience any issues or if you just want to say hi! What’s New? The Vegetation Engine 2.0 comes with a new modular elements rendering system, new presets and 3rd party integrations, new wind tweaks, a new Book of the Dead demo scene, and many improvements and optimizations. New gradient, noise, and motion highlight tinting have been added to the vegetation shaders, and the bark and prop shader now supports HDRP packed detail map! Please check the changelog and the upgrading steps from the documentation! Description The Vegetation Engine is a set of high quality vegetation shaders and tools designed to unify any vegetation asset from the Unity Asset Store, SpeedTree, Quixel Megascans, etc. or custom vegetation authored by your team. The Vegetation Engine comes with a one-click conversion workflow for 3rd party vegetation assets. Once converted, the assets are fully compatible with all features provided by the asset and the old shaders can be removed for faster compilation times and smaller build sizes! The Vegetation Engine comes with a comprehensive set of modular elements, used for motion and interaction with unlimited characters, motion flow, local wind, dynamic seasons, global overlay (snow, sand, dust), global wetness, global healthiness for subsurface control, tinting, size control, distance-based size fade or leaves amount, all with minimal performance impact! The Vegetation Engine includes Object shader with global overlay and wetness support to unify the props with the vegetation assets! The new Object shaders have vertex painting or top/bottom projection blending support for even greater detailing. The Vegetation Engine allows using any vegetation asset with Universal Render Pipeline and High Definition Render Pipeline with a few clicks, even if the asset was not designed initially to be used with Scriptable Render Pipelines! The Vegetation Engine includes an Amplify Base Function when using Amplify Shader Editor. With over 50 options you can generate your own vegetation or props shaders with only the options you need and the optimizations/quality required for your project!

Even if in most cases the converted prefabs will look similar to the original asset, depending on the original shaders, lighting can change, colors can change, various features could not work anymore and the wind animation will definitely be different. After conversion, material tweaks could be required!
