ZLZ Env Shader

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 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
