⚠ Requirements
The latest version of the Visual Engine is required for the module to work!
The latest version of Amplify Impostors is required for the impostors baking!
The Visual Engine is a set of high-quality shaders and tools designed to unify 3rd party assets under the same shader system. Enable high-quality wind motion, interaction, seasons, wetness, subsurface, layers, variation, etc. for all assets with Standard, Universal, or HD Render Pipeline!
Amplify Impostors is a modern and flexible impostors authoring tool used to bake high-density geometry to quads while keeping the original shading! Impostors can be moved, rotated, scaled, receive and cast shadows, intersect other objects or impostors, and can be used with LODGroup or any LOD system.
○ Overview
Combine the power of the award-winning shading and unification tools provided by the Visual Engine with the power of the optimized impostors provided by Amplify Impostors! The Amplify Impostors Module includes presets and runtime shaders for perfect baking with Standard, Universal, and HD pipelines, while the seasons, overlay, wetness, wind, and interaction remain dynamic!

○ Limitations
🞫 The shaders are not designed for mobile development!
🞫 Oculus Quest and other Mobile-based VR devices are not supported
🞫 HDRP with TAA causes blurry results with impostors
🞫 Lightmap baking with impostors is not supported and is out of scope!
🞫 Only the latest LTS Unity versions are officially supported!
○ Disclaimers
⚑ Due to their nature, impostors are designed to be used as distance LODs. While the baking will match the original shader settings, the lighting will not match perfectly, but it will be quite close to the original!
⚑ With the release of the Visual Engine, the Vegetation Engine will not be updated anymore, but it will get critical fixes for a limited time. If you purchased any of the modules and you need older versions compatible with the Vegetation Engine, feel free to contact me!
