After a year of painstaking work, I am very proud to say that Nature Shaders has finally been released! This collection of shaders adds player interaction, wind, masking, and a lot more to vegetation in Unity: assetstore.unity.com/packages/slug/… #madewithunity #unity3d #assetstore #gamedev

@DominicdeGraaf They support motion vectors, but Unity's terrain system does not support rendering motion vectors. If you want to render motion vectors for terrain vegetation then you'll need Nature Renderer as well. If you use only Game Objects then you don't need Nature Renderer

@VDCafe Do these shaders also support motion vectors? Or do I need the nature renderer asset for that as well?

@shellyalon Yes, they work with Open World Nature Kit. Using overlay for snow may be difficult though, that usually requires different textures. You can get close by adjusting the material saturation with color correction and adding a color overlay.

@Laxmi_Jenny Yes, mobile is supported. Shader warnings are usually safe to ignore. If they cause any issues in your project or if there are errors then please submit a bug report and we can help you out: support.visualdesigncafe.com/hc/en-us/reque…

@VDCafe Supports mobile ? When I switch the project to mobile shaders has warnings

@CitrionMC Yes, the added details will be saved on the terrain and you can use the built-in paint tools to place them.

@VDCafe Considering to upgrade to Nature Renderer 2021. With the ability to add details directly in the Nature Renderer component to support LODs, will those also be added to the actual Unity Terrain component allowing me to select it and use the built-in paint tools?

@metasssets It's a collection of shaders, you can just select the material(s) in your project and the change the shader to one of the Nature Shaders. No need to enable/activate anything. More info here: v3.visualdesigncafe.com/nature-shaders…

@VDCafe i understand its not advance version. So how do i use this Essential free limited version. How do I start/enable/ or activate it ? according to your documentation i right click a prefab and a menu option appears. But it does not

@metasssets Essentials is included for free with our other assets. The full Nature Shaders asset is a separate product on the Unity Asset Store: assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/s…

@metasssets This is from "Nature Shaders", not "Nature Shaders Essentials". The essentials version is a more simple version of Nature Shaders and does not include the more advanced features. You can see a feature comparison here: v3.visualdesigncafe.com/nature-shaders…

@Laxmi_Jenny Can you submit a bug report with the details? Then we can help you out: support.visualdesigncafe.com/hc/en-us/reque…

@VDCafe Nature shaders essential that comes with nature renderer menu does not come up. What I miss ?

@Laxmi_Jenny Select the prefab in the Project window and change its position to 0,0,0 in the Transform component. (If the prefab intentionally has an offset then you can ignore the warning)

@VDCafe how to fix this ?

@Laxmi_Jenny It looks like you didn't import all the packages. There are 4 packages in total that need to be imported. The import should start automatically, you just need to click "import" on the import popups. More info here: #installation" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">v3.visualdesigncafe.com/nature-rendere…

@VDCafe imported asset but there is no nature renderer component

@zerosimms It's available now! I just clicked the publish button😀 assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/ve…

@VDCafe You have no idea how much I'm looking forward to seeing this!!

After months of hard work there's something exciting that is almost ready! You can already take a quick look now: visualdesigncafe.com/realistic-natu… #madewithunity #gamedev #unity3d #assetstore

@zerosimms You can ignore the error. Unity shows it automatically, but it has no effect on the rendering. Nature Renderer correctly renders all detail objects in HDRP. More info: support.visualdesigncafe.com/hc/en-us/artic…

@VDCafe Hey, I'm desperate to buy your Renderer asset but before I do, can you explain please how you got terrain details working in HDRP? I get the following...

Finally got terrain details working in the High-Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) 💚 👉 Give it a try: visualdesigncafe.com/get/nature-ren… #madewithunity #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d #assetstore

And of course Twitter compression is butchering the video quality🤷Here is a link to the trailer on YouTube for better quality: youtu.be/C6F2QHXUvFw

@karsoda Thanks! It is just an HDRI skybox and the default HDRP sky and fog

More Ghost of Tsushima vibes in Unity this week. I improved the grass meshes to get better highlights on them, and have been trying out some different lighting conditions #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #unity3d

@TheUnkn86594037 @tjheuvel Which version of Unity and Universal Render Pipeline are you using?

@VDCafe My colleague installed one of your plugins and now the entire team is spammed with this popup every time they start the editor. How can we disable this?

@tjheuvel 3. Delete the files "Library/com.VisualDesignCafe.PackageManager.queue-install.json" and "Library/com.VisualDesignCafe.PackageManager.queue-download.json". This clears the list of pending updates.

@tjheuvel 1. Search for "t:Package" in the project window. 2. Select all packages and disable "Download in Background" in the inspector. This will disable checking for updates.
