○ Overview
Combine the power of the award-winning shading and unification tools provided by the Vegetation Engine with the power of the optimized impostors provided by Amplify Impostors! The Amplify Impostors Add-on includes presets and runtime shaders for perfect baking with Standard, Universal, and HD pipelines, while the seasons, overlay, wetness, wind, and interaction remain dynamic!
⚠ Requirements
The Vegetation Engine 2.4.0+ asset is required for the add-on to work!
Amplify Impostors 0.9.0.007+ asset is required for the impostors baking!
🛈 The Vegetation Engine is a set of high-quality shaders and tools designed to unify 3rd party vegetation under the same system. Enable high-quality wind motion, interaction, seasons, wetness, subsurface, height-based blending, etc. for all vegetation assets with Standard, Universal, or HD Render Pipeline!
🛈 Amplify Impostor is a modern and flexible impostors authoring tool used to bake high-density geometry to quads while keeping the original shading! Impostors can be moved, rotated, scaled, receive and cast shadows, intersect other objects or impostors, and can be used with LODGroup or any LOD system.
