⚠ Requirements

The latest version of the Vegetation Engine is required for the module to work!

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!

○ Overview

The Vegetation Engine • Terrain Details Module brings the features from the Vegetation Engine to the terrain details shaders. Enable high-quality wind, interaction, tinting, snow, leaves amount, and distance fade for your grass and flower details! The Terrain Details Module works with any tool designed to work with the terrain detail system such as Gaia, MapMagic, MegaWorld, etc.

⚑ Please note, that this module contains replacement shaders for the legacy terrain detail system. When using GPU Instanced terrain details or replacement renderers like Nature Renderer or GPU Instancer, the module is not required!
