Create production-ready rivers directly from Unity's native Splines. This extension for Stylized Water 3 automatically generates optimized river geometry, cascades, VFX and spatial audio as you edit.


🌟Built on Unity’s native Splines, enabling seamless interaction between tools, visuals, gameplay, and other systems: All using the same spline.


💦 Automatic particle effects

Generated and set up automaticaly as you move spline knots, creating believable cascades and rapids through a VFX Graph.


👂 Advanced Audio

The only tool on the store that brings a realistic river soundscape to your environment!


Based on slope and displacement, the right audio type is picked (stream/rapids/cascade).


Audio Sources are streamed in around the camera, based on pre-baked data. Reducing the need of hundreds spawned along the spline to only a handful at a time!


🛠 Technical features:

• Leverages the Job System and Burst for best in class performance: editing is fast and responsive.

• Segmented output, rivers are split up for optimal culling/rendering performance

• Clean LOD generation -> automatic distance-based optimization (requires Unity 6.2+)

• Lightmap UVs, supports baked/realtime Global Illumination and APV

• Designed to support custom/asset store streaming systems.


Script features:

• Callback events, both as C# functions and exposed in the inspector.

• Trigger events when a Colliders enters/leaves a river segment's area. 100% ready for custom surface detection logic.

• Helper C# functions to find the nearest point on the Spline or River surface.


🎁 Includes:

Demo scene with branching rivers.

• Original recorded audio loops: stream, rapids & cascade.

• Water splash particle texture.


⛰️ Integrates with MicroVerse

Leverage the terrain authoring workflow of MicroVerse, and create rivers that naturally carve their way through the landscape. The integration can drive a Spline Path component to create a river bank and bed.


This requires the both the MicroVerse asset and its MicroVerse Splines module to be installed.


🎁 Limited time 40% upgrade discount for users of the legacy standalone River Modeler asset.
