Vegetation Studio v1.5.5

Vegetation Studio is a vegetation placement and rendering system designed to replace the standard tree and detail system in the Unity terrain component. Vegetation is spawned on the terrain based on a flexible set of rules, and controlled with both texture and polygon masks.

Use your existing trees (SpeedTree, Tree Creator etc.), rocks and grass textures. Rendering is done using Unitys new Instancing and Instancing Indirect system. This means no overhead on culling and handling GameObjects. Vegetation Studio should work with most vegetation shaders that support instancing.

You create a Vegetation Package that references your selected trees and plants. Configure the spawn rules and apply this to a terrain. The same package can be re-used on terrains in multiple scenes. Any changes done to the rule set will update the terrain directly.
