Vibrant Grass Shader

Please read the "Setup.pdf" found in the package before using the asset.

⭐ Key Features ⭐ :

• Very Beautiful
• Good Performance
• Works on large areas
• Performant Lights and Interactions : Over 50 objects can be used as point lights interact with the grass (push it on the sides when going through it while emitting a sound). It technically can get up to 1000 objects but the performance drop gets serious after about 50.
• Customization : Paint shadows, height, colors and modify many material properties.
• Color Masks : You can change the painted colors after applying them. Very handy when you change your mind.
• Audio tool : Easily make the audio of the grass emit from the right spots.
• Fast customer support : On a normal week, you should get an answer within 1-3 business days.
• Hill collisions : There is a system to prevent the wind from pushing the grass through the ground (works best on smooth grounds).
• Hovering Objects : The interaction objects push only grass stalks that have their tips higher than the height of the object (works approximately). Useful for hovering objects.
• Professional UI : Simple and intuitive design, use a brush wheel and shortcuts keys while painting.
• Shader Graph : The Shader uses Unity's Shader Graph so you can easily add custom features.
• Blends well with the HDRP Volumetric Fog
• You can wrap the grass onto any collider including terrains

🔧 Compatibility :

--> Some versions have issues that have fixes mentioned in the documentation found in the package.

-Not tested yet with Nintendo Switch, PS4/PS5, Xbox One and Console VR but it is expected to work. If you can test for one of the untested platforms, please contact me :) !

• Compatibility issues :

-In Built-In, transparency isn't working.

-Specific to Unity 2019 : Transparency isn't working, the asset won't work in Built-in and the example scenes won't work.

-Specific to Unity 2020 : Doesn't work in Built-in and Transparency isn't working.

-Specific to Gamma rendering Color Space : Shadows, Heights and painted Colors are saved inaccurately. The visuals are overall different and Transparency won't work.

✖️ Limitations :

• Creation Time : It takes time to wrap the grass onto the ground (a couple of seconds per 15x15 meters grass field, depending on your computer), and to paint heights and shadows. The bigger the area, the more time it takes to set it up.
• Unlit materials, Manual Shadows : Painting shadows manually is great for customization and performance, but takes time. There is no official way to make the grass lit and react to realtime lights and shadows.
