Description:
Winter Environment asset created for quick and quality development of winter nature scenes. The package contains additional shaders with which you can adjust the snow amount on trees, grass and props. All trees work both with the standard Unity Terrain and Vegetation Studio system.
In collaboration with BOXOPHOBIC, we have developed AG Global Settings, an advanced GPU Wind System, intuitive and easy to use.
AG Global Settings give you control of global wind settings such as direction, amplitude, speed, scale, and mesh stiffness. You can control the wind settings both globally on the whole scene and locally for each material. This allows you to adjust differently the rigidity of the objects and the influence of the wind on them.
In addition to the wind settings, AG Global Settings contains global parameters for AO/Translucency/Tint Color and Snow. Global settings can be unique for each scene. You can adjust the look of the environment without changing the basic mesh materials.
The textures have a high resolution and were created from scanned data. The asset contains 3 types of trees. Each type of tree uses only two materials (leaf and bark). The trees have low overdraw with low draw call usage.
Features:
• NEW! Added HDRP and URP Templates version 10.2.2 for Unity 2020.2.x or newer.
• Amplify Shader Functions included.
• Albedo/NM/AO/Smoothness/Mask and Height maps for all the ground textures. The textures are compatible with CTS and MegaSplat.
• GPU global and local wind with advanced control settings (direction, amplitude, speed, size, and object stiffness).
• The wind settings can be modified in real-time directly in the scene view.
• Global and local settings for AO/Translucency/Tint Color and Snow.
• Snow on tree trunks depending on the wind direction.
• PBR textures created from scanned data.
• All shaders support GPU instancing.
• Low overdraw for trees with low draw call usage.
• Cross meshes at the last LOD for trees and bushes.
• LODs for all prefabs.

• 2 Post-Processing profiles for each RP (Standard/URP/HDRP/LWRP)
• Arrow prefabs with all scripts used for global settings (AG Global Settings).
• 5 Scripts for global settings.
• 8 Shader functions.
• 3 Noise Textures that can be used for Global Tint Color.
Limitations:
• Only SM3+ hardware is supported.
• Scalable Ambient Obscurance post-processing will cause visual artifacts on objects (Unity limitation).
• The objects are distorted when using extreme wind settings.
• Snow parameters from AG Global Settings don't affect the terrain textures.
Winter Environment was tested using HDRP versions from 5.7.2 to 10.2.2. Keep in mind, the HDRP Template is currently still in development. The package can be non-functional with other HDRP versions. Please be patient, we will add new versions of HDRP in the next updates.
To get the same camera effects presented in our screenshots/trailer, you will need to import Post Processing Stack and set Color Space on Linear.
To enable the full support for instanced indirect by Vegetation Studio or procedural instancing by Nature Renderer please follow the documentation steps from Third-Party Support.
