Build a lush tropical forest fast.
Tropical Trees Pack gives you 32 stylized trees in four species groups: coconut, royal and areca palms, rain tree, mango, jackfruit, teak, rubber, mahogany, banyan, bo and more. Each group shares one texture set, so a whole forest costs only a handful of materials.
Every tree is a ready-to-use prefab with a four-level LODGroup (three real geometry levels plus a 2-triangle camera-facing billboard), capsule colliders that follow the trunk, and a lightweight vertex-color wind shader. Open the playable demo, walk through a 300 × 300 m forest, then use the included tools to build your own.
Species groups
- Palms: coconut (straight, leaning, young), king coconut, areca (single and cluster), kitul, royal palm
- Lowland Broadleaf: rain tree (giant and young), Indian almond, mango, jackfruit, breadfruit, tamarind, neem
- Plantation: rubber (mature and tapped), mahogany (mature and young), teak, albizia, gliricidia, roadside jackfruit
- Wet Zone: bo, banyan with aerial roots, kitul (mossy and cluster), hora, na, wild cinnamon, ficus
What's included
- 32 trees (FBX), 4 species groups × 8 trees, from 6.5 m to 27 m tall
- 64 prefabs: 32 combined-LOD prefabs (fewer draw calls, recommended) and 32 animation-ready prefabs with every branch and frond kept separate
- 4-level LODGroup on every tree: LOD0, LOD1 and LOD2 geometry plus an LOD3 billboard
- Trunk-following capsule colliders (1 to 9 per tree)
- 8 shared materials (bark and foliage for each group) with GPU instancing enabled
- Custom URP vegetation shader: vertex-color wind, two-sided alpha-cutout foliage, normal maps, soft leaf lighting and sun-through-leaves translucency, all adjustable on the material
- 16 textures at 2048 × 2048 (BaseColor, Normal, MaskMap and AO for each group)
- Playable demo scene: a walkable forest with a dirt path, four species zones, undergrowth, rocks, lighting and a first-person player (WASD, mouse look, sprint)
- Showcase scene: every tree labeled, a side-by-side LOD0–LOD3 comparison and a human-scale reference
- Documentation: installation, getting started, tree setup, materials, LOD, terrain, placement, performance, platform notes and troubleshooting
Editor tools
- Tree Placement Tool: species weights, density, min/max spacing, random rotation and scale, slope and height limits, exclusion zones, seed control and full Undo
- Terrain Generator: Small, Medium, Large and Performance-test presets with adjustable size and resolution
- Validator: checks models, textures, materials, prefabs and scene dependencies and reports pass, warning or error
- Demo scene builders, so you can rebuild the demo and showcase from the menu
Easy to customizeEdit the shared textures to re-skin a whole species group at once, tune wind strength and speed, leaf softness and translucency on the materials, and adjust LOD transitions in each prefab's LOD Group. A setup command rebuilds materials and prefabs if you change the textures.
Good to know
- The vegetation shader reacts to the scene's main directional light and ambient light. Extra point or spot lights do not affect bark or foliage.
- Not tested: on-device Android and iOS performance, iOS builds, HDRP and the Built-in Render Pipeline. Performance depends on your scene and how many trees you place.
- The trees are stylized models, not botanical scans.
- Do not enable "Generate Lightmap UVs" on the tree FBX files. The second UV set carries the billboard flag.
- Not included: ground or grass textures (the demo uses simple placeholder ground), rock models (the demo rocks are simple shapes), sound and animation clips.
