Nature Renderer 2020・Perpetual License

Render vast amounts of vegetation without slowing down your game.

Nature Renderer improves the quality of your vegetation rendering by replacing Unity's default terrain details system. Everything works with your existing data: use the same grass, vegetation, and trees and keep your existing terrains. We just level-up your renderer.
