This shader was designed to enhance 2D and 2.5D game scenes with dynamic, lightweight foliage effects. Key features include:

Simple Wind Animation: Adds a natural swaying effect to trees and plants, with a focus on leaf movement. A Center Stiffness Slider ensures only the leaves sway, keeping trunks and branches stable.
Adjustable Leaf Height: Customizable via a slider to accommodate trees of varying heights, allowing precise control over where the wind effect applies.
Gradient Effects: Includes primary and secondary gradients for subtle seasonal or day/night transitions, such as adding snow or shifting colors.
Low-Poly Grass with Billboard Effects: Incorporates simple, performance-friendly grass that always faces the camera, enhancing depth in 2D scenes.
Shadow settings (v1.1+)- This adds another layer to of realism to the shader without having to rely on shadows of the images.

Future updates will expand the asset with additional 2D foliage art, including anime/stylized grass and plants, to support creating vibrant, cohesive scenes. Ideal for developers looking to bring life to their environments with minimal overhead.
