Simple Triplanar Terrain Shader – Grass & Snow (Built-In) screenshot 1
About this asset
This is a lightweight and easy-to-use triplanar terrain shader for Unity’s Built-in Render Pipeline that automatically blends between three textures: top, side, and bottom, based on the surface’s world-space orientation.
It uses a true triplanar projection method to prevent texture stretching and provides independent controls for blend position and smoothness of the top and bottom layers, allowing for natural transitions between materials like snow, rock, and soil.
The shader requires no UV mapping, making it ideal for stylized or semi-realistic terrains, cliffs, and mountain meshes.
Its structure is clean and modular, allowing easy customization, extension, and integration into other Built-in shaders or custom systems.
