Vista Pro - AI Assisted, Node Based Procedural Terrain Generator

FEATURES

• Vista Wizard: Set up the scene, create terrain grids, add biomes, return to recent biomes, and access tools from one guided editor hub.
• Biome templates: Start from a ready-made biome, create it directly in the scene, then customize its graph. You can also build reusable templates for your own project.
• Graph editor: Build procedural terrain logic by connecting nodes. Output height, textures, vegetation, and custom data from a single graph instead of stacking manual edits.
• Local biomes: Place biome regions by hand in the scene, similar to how layers work in a layered terrain system. Overlap them, configure blend modes, and Vista resolves the transitions into the final terrain.
• Multi-terrain: Drive multiple terrain tiles from one graph with no seams between tiles.
• Natural simulations: Run hydraulic erosion, thermal erosion, water flow, landslide, snow, and crack nodes to build landform complexity that would be impractical to hand-sculpt.
• Hex map: Generate terrain layouts built on hexagonal grids with biome support.
• Runtime generation: Generate or update terrain at runtime, not just in the editor.
• GPU acceleration: Terrain generation runs on the GPU, keeping iteration fast even on complex graphs.
• Hand painting: Paint biome masks in the scene view and paint mask or color data inside the graph for direct manual control.
• Terrain Seal: Protect persisted terrain edits inside a polygon when Vista regenerates the surrounding terrain. Seals preserve sculpting, textures, trees, grass, holes, and custom terrain data automatically within their hard boundary.
• Stroke Painter: Paint graph-powered effects directly on terrain. A Stroke Action can process the complete painted path and change terrain shape, textures, trees, and grass together.
• Productivity tools: Work faster with subgraphs, smart search, anchor nodes, sticky images, and drag to reconnect.
• MicroSplat integration: Sync texture arrays and terrain FX maps with MicroSplat for advanced texture and shader workflows.
• Nav mesh utilities: Generate helper meshes from terrain data for navigation baking.
• Splines: Draw spline paths in the scene. Conform height, paint textures, and clear vegetation along roads, rivers, and trails.
• Real World Data: Browse and import real elevation data and satellite imagery from USGS, OpenTopography, and similar sources.
• Expose Property: Surface graph parameters in the Unity inspector so level designers and runtime systems can adjust terrain and Stroke Actions without opening the graph.
• AI Workflow (experimental): AI coding agents that run terminal commands, such as Claude Code or Codex, drive Vista in your open Unity Editor through the Unity CLI. Agents set up the Vista Manager, terrain grids, and biomes, build and organize graphs, generate terrain, and check results in the Scene view and graph previews. Scene Pins label areas of the scene for requests, and techniques learned from your grouped graphs are saved as reusable recipes.

COMPATIBILITY

Supports Unity Terrain and Polaris Terrain with equivalent workflow coverage for both.

Compatible with Built-in RP, Universal RP, and HDRP.

REQUIREMENTS

• Compute shader support required.Unity 2022.3 LTS and above.
• Package dependencies (installed automatically): com.unity.searcher, com.unity.editorcoroutines, com.unity.mathematics

PLATFORMS

• Editor: Supported on Windows and Mac. Terrain baked in the editor can be deployed to any platform Unity supports.
• Runtime generation: Requires compute shader support. Supported on Windows (DirectX 12, DirectX 11, Vulkan) and Mac (Metal). Other platforms are not supported for runtime generation.

LIMITATIONS

Vista generates terrain for defined biome areas placed in the scene. Projects requiring infinite terrain streaming generated on demand as the player moves are outside the intended scope.
