Modern Tree Creator

Transform Unity's built-in Tree Creator into a production-ready terrain vegetation system.

The Problem

Unity's Tree Creator is powerful but broken in URP. Trees look wrong, wind doesn't work, and terrain instancing fails. Other "solutions" just provide new tree models or basic shader fixes — none of them solve the real problem: getting thousands of Tree Creator trees to render efficiently on terrain with proper instancing, billboards, and wind animation.

The Solution

Modern Tree Creator is a complete pipeline that takes your existing Tree Creator trees and converts them into fully optimized, terrain-ready prefabs with automatic billboard generation, LOD setup, and URP-native shaders.

The result? 10,000+ unique trees on a single terrain at 50-100 FPS on mid-range hardware.

Why This Asset?

True Terrain Instancing

Other assets give you pretty trees that crawl at 15 FPS when you paint 500 of them. Modern Tree Creator generates mesh prefabs specifically optimized for Unity's terrain tree instancing system. Paint thousands of trees without destroying your frame rate.

Automatic Billboard Generation

No more manual billboard creation. The converter automatically renders an 8-angle atlas with normal maps, creates the BillboardAsset, and configures LOD transitions. Your trees smoothly fade to billboards at distance — zero manual work required.

One-Click Variation System

Select your Tree Creator prefab, set how many variations you want, click convert. The tool randomizes seeds and branch frequencies to generate 5, 10, or 50 unique tree variations from a single source. Natural-looking forests in seconds.

Wind That Actually Works

Built-in TreeWindController syncs with Unity's WindZone to animate all trees globally. Branch sway, leaf flutter, and distance-based LOD quality reduction — all optimized for URP's Forward+ rendering.

Bonus: Grass Detail Shader

Includes a full-featured grass blade shader for terrain details with wind animation, translucency, optional tessellation, and distance fade. Complete your environment with matching vegetation.
