Winter Environment – Nature Pack v1.4

Get Unity3D asset – Winter Environment – Nature Pack

Winter Environment asset created for quick and quality development of winter nature scenes. Contains additional shaders with which you can adjust the snow amount on trees, grass and props. All trees work, both with the standard Unity Terrain and the Vegetation Studio system.

In collaboration with BOXOPHOBIC, we have developed AG Global Settings, an advanced GPU Wind System, intuitive and easy to use.

AG Global Settings give you control of global wind settings such as direction, amplitude, speed, scale, and mesh stiffness. You can control the wind settings both globally across the scene and locally for each material. This allows you to adjust differently the rigidity of the objects and the influence of the wind on them.

In addition to the wind settings, AG Global Settings contains global parameters for AO/Translucency/Tint Color and Snow. Global settings can be unique for each scene. You can adjust the look of the environment without changing the basic mesh materials.

You can use this pack together with Vegetation Studio or Vegetation Studio Pro for super fast rendering!

The textures have a high resolution and were created from scanned data. The asset contains 3 types of trees. Each type of tree use only two materials (leaf and bark). The trees have low overdraw with low drawcall usage.

Limitations:
• Only SM3+ hardware is supported.
• Scalable Ambient Obscurance post processing will cause visual artefacts on objects (Unity limitation).
• The objects are distorted when using extreme wind settings.
• Snow parameters from AG Global Settings, doesn't affect the terrain textures.

Important:
You must keep one of the AG Global Settings or AG Global Snow (Limited) prefabs in each scene.
Use only one AG Global prefab in your scene. Multiple AG Global prefabs are not supported.
You can find more about AG Global system in the online documentation and also in this video.

Winter Environment was tested using HDRP versions 5.7.2, 5.13.0, 6.9.0, 6.9.1, 7.1.5, 7.1.6 and 7.1.7. Keep in mind, the HDRP Template is currently still in development. The package is non-functional with other HDRP versions. Please be patient, we will add new versions of HDRP in the next updates.

To achieve same camera effects presented in our screenshots/trailer, you will need to import Post Processing Stack and set Color Space on Linear.
