Cloud Cast is a highly optimized procedural cloud shadow post-processing effect built exclusively for Unity 6 and URP. Effortlessly generate dynamic cloud cover shadows without the immense performance cost of actual volumetric cloud geometry. Designed by professionals, for professionals.

 

Key Benefits & Workflow:

  • Procedural FBM Shapes: Cloud patterns are generated entirely in the shader using Fractal Brownian Motion (FBM) noise. Choose between Value, Perlin, and Simplex algorithms for ultimate artistic control.

 

  • Zero-Friction Setup: Fully Volume-driven. Drop it into your URP Post-Processing Volume, apply the Renderer Feature, and see instant results in Edit and Play mode.

 

  • Light-Aligned Projection: Shadows are projected along your main Directional Light from a configurable virtual cloud plane, producing realistic parallax as the sun angle changes throughout the day.

 

  • Wind Animation & Coverage: Bring your sky to life with scrolling wind animation. Fully control the cloud coverage threshold and edge softness to simulate anything from a light breeze to a heavy storm.

 

  • Extreme Performance: Utilizes an R8 single-channel shadow mask to minimize bandwidth. Features automatic LOD distance octave reduction and downscaled processing (Full, Half, Quarter) for massive framerate gains on mobile.

 

  • Production Ready: Clean, fully documented C# API allows for seamless runtime parameter modifications during gameplay or dynamic weather transitions.
