What is ZLZ Env Shader, and what is it for?
ZLZ Env Shader is a toolset for building anime-style environments in Unity URP, covering ground surfaces, grass, water, fog and FX in a single package.
- Everything in one package - Build a whole scene from one asset, not five that may not fit together
- Made for ZLZ Anime Shader - One shared art direction, so characters and environments never clash
- Performance first - Every feature is designed around its rendering cost from day one, not optimized after the fact
- Real PC and Mobile support - Scale quality to your target platform without changing how you work

- Normal Map : Normal map support for added surface detail without extra polygons
- Specular & Metallic : Control over glossiness and metalness, tuned for anime-style art
- Stochastic Sampling : Breaks up visible texture tiling across large areas
- Surface Accumulation : Adds snow, sand or dust layers that build up based on surface direction
- Wind : Wind system for leaves and foliage, driven from a single global controller
- Emission : Controls emissive color and intensity for glowing objects in the scene
- Fog : Stylized height fog blended with the sky, adding depth to every shot
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🧩 Features - Grass

- Grass Material : Grass materials with presets for color, height and blade shape
- Grass Global Wind : One global wind drives every blade across the map in the same direction
- Grass Optimized : GPU-instanced rendering with every blade sharing one mesh
- Grass Color Camera : Grass picks up the ground color beneath it to blend with the terrain
- Grass Interaction : Blades bend and part around characters or objects moving through them
- Grass LOD : Distance-based detail reduction to hold framerate in large scenes
- Grass Edges : Define grass boundaries to carve paths and clearings without erasing blade by blade
- Grass Resolution : Renders grass color at half or quarter resolution to cut overdraw
- Grass Mesh Baker : Bakes a grass texture into a real silhouette mesh
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
✨ Features - Water
- Water Interaction : Ripples that trail characters or objects moving across the surface
- Water Waves : Surface waves with adjustable direction, height and frequency
- Water Floater : Floating objects that rise, fall and tilt with the real wave motion
- Water Foam : Foam along shorelines and around objects moving through the water
- Water Ring Wave : Expanding ring waves from impact points, for objects dropped in or hits landing
- Water Sparkle : Shimmering light on the water surface for an anime look
- Water Caustics : Animated refracted light patterns projected onto the underwater floor
- Underwater : A full underwater view with depth-based fog and a seamless above/below surface transition
