Unity asset - Gaia Pro 2021 – Terrain Scene Generator v3.4.1:
Gaia is a robust system for generating, optimizing, and streaming stunning environments across various platforms including mobile, VR, console, and desktop.
Compatible with Unity's Render Pipelines:
- Built-in Render Pipeline: Unity's default pipeline with limited customization options.
- Universal Render Pipeline (URP): A customizable, platform-optimized pipeline.
- High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP): Provides high-fidelity graphics for high-end platforms.
Additional Compatibility Information:
- Flora grass system works across all pipelines, with optimal results in HDRP.
- Water reflections are not functional in VR/XR currently. URP offers a special VR water shader supporting single-pass rendering; other pipelines require multi-pass rendering for VR/XR.
Gaia simplifies the creation process, offering various workflows from artist-driven to fully procedural. It enables effortless terrain sculpting, texturing, foliage placement, and environment design, catering to a spectrum of styles from low-poly stylized to photorealistic.
