Buto is a powerful volumetric lighting and volumetric fog asset for Unity URP. It provides you with a wide range of advanced features to take your game's atmosphere to the next level.


Things you can easily make with Buto (but not limited to):

- A mystical misty forest

⭕️ Other Unity developers already use Buto in their projects

- Tim Climpy's Warfair is a military FPS shooter with a focus on fun things for fun people!


- Operation Crustacean: Ride a large shrimp to explore a perilous island in this surreal hardcore 3D platformer. With permadeath, rare powerups, and challenging bosses, you will have to master the unique physics-based controls and embrace the dark humour to overcome the impossible.


- Hopper's Cabin by VHS Knight: A recreation of Hopper's Cabin from Stranger Things.


⭕️ Tons of powerful features


Physically based:

Our volumetric lighting and fog accurately renders atmospheric particles and light scattering using algorithms described in leading technical papers and strategies from major AAA studios.


Volumetric Lighting and Shadow:

Objects realistically occlude lighting by interacting with the fog, keeping your fog grounded in your scene.


Fast:

Optimized, high-performance rendering with intelligent depth-aware upscaling (~0.2ms on an Nvidia 1080 desktop equivalent).


Volumetric Noise:

Built-in customizable volumetric noise gives texture to the particle distribution. Choose from 5 configurable volumetric noise styles or import your own texture for the ultimate control.


Atmospheric Height Fog:

Particle density exponentially decreases over height, resulting in realistic fog attenuation over altitude. Control the fog height as well.


Long-Range Visual Consistency:

Toggleable analytic height fog can be rendered behind local volumetric fog to guarantee visual realism over long distances.


Stylized Fog Options:

Achieve your artistic vision with color ramps, simple color adjustments, and light and shadow intensity sliders.


Additional Lights:

Illuminate the fog with volumetric lights. Supports directional lights, point lights, spot lights, and area lights.


Fog Density Masks:

Add or erase volumetric fog using Fog Density Masks


Temporal Anti-Aliasing:

Improved quality for high-density fog with optional Temporal Reprojection.


Integrated with the Volume Component System:

Seamlessly tie Volumetric Fog into your workflow with Unity's Volume Component system. Set Global Fog parameters and local Box and Sphere Volume parameters with seamless blending between Fog Volume settings.
