Download Unity asset – CTS 2019 – Complete Terrain Shader

Welcome to CTS 2019 for Unity 2018.3+ and Unity 2019!

CTS 2019 will support the full Unity 2019 release cycle, adds substance support, three new instanced shader sets (Built-in, LW SRP and HD SRP preview version 4.8), and will be updated as Unity stabilizes the SRP's over time.

A collaboration between NatureManufacture and Procedural Worlds, CTS combines our collective expertise to create a terrain shading system that is Powerful and Easy to Use!

CTS comes with a professional PBR texture library that can be applied with a click to instantly change the look and feel of your scenes and can be tweaked at run time to get your environment just right.

Important Note
This version of CTS works with 2018.3+. If you wish to target Unity 5.6 - 2018.3 without instancing and lw and hd pipeline support then please purchase CTS instead.

Our Customers Say:
"Wow.. amazing results. My co-workers couldn't believe I did this!"
"Best shader terrain, best support reply in 5h."
"This is the best solution and I have tried THEM ALL on unity asset store and only CTS gave me the results I wanted."
"Add CTS to your terrain, create a profile, add some extra texture maps (height, spec, ao etc) and see your terrain pop."
"This should be considered part of your default stack when working with terrain in Unity. With very little effort you can improve the graphics performance of your terrain tenfold, it is essential."

Hardware Support:
- Shader model 3.5+ (basic + advanced);
- Shader model 4.6+ (tesselation);
- Direct X 11 / 12;

- WebGL 2.0;
- Metal;

Shaders are limited by texture array support and consequently do not support DX9, OpenGLES 2.0 or Web GL1.0.

NOTE #1: Meshes are supported, but the workflow to generate and configure the texture and splat arrays used by CTS is still a terrain based workflow. You can however remove the terrain and replace it with a mesh as last step in process. Please visit our Discord channel if you want more clarification.

NOTE #2: CTS is fast, however old cards without dynamic branching support have had issues with this, so please download and run our demo's before purchasing to ensure your system is compatible.

NOTE #3: CTS 2019 will support the Unity 2019 release cycle, however as each major Unity release introduces significant changes we will cover the cost of supporting these by charging a nominal annual upgrade fee.
