Bring your environment to life!

Grasslands Wind - Grass, Flowers & Foliage features a set of foliage assets simulating anything from strong winds to a calm breeze. The Material Instance offers a lot of customization enabling you to tweak the assets to perfectly suit your game. Many parameters can be driven by blueprint. For example wind direction, color, grass height, wind strength and much more. Using the existing Landscape Grass Type preset, you can quickly generate grass for your landscape.

All the assets are complete with optimized LODs and effective use of texture-space. Most of the textures are optimized to 256x512 with the exception of the Mask Texture for the Grass at 2048x2048.

The foliage is based on two versatile master materials to reduce performance cost. One for the grass and one for the flowers & mixed foliage.


Features:

• 9 Grass Assets, 7 Flower Assets & 11 Mixed Foliage Assets
• Custom Grass Wind with anything from Strong Winds to a Calm Breeze.
• Blueprint Driven Wind Direction, Time, Wind Strength and Realtime Wind Direction Change with additional Color & Height control for Grass Assets.
• Demo level featuring the assets & example on Blueprint Driven Foliage.
• Small texture size overall with most textures at 256x512.
• Grass Trample
• Organized and Exposed Material Parameters for endless variations.

Important/Additional Notes:

• By default the blueprint driven foliage is only animated at runtime/during simulation. To enable blueprint driven foliage to be simulated at runtime open up "BP_Wind" and follow the instructions (enable Live Link Plugin).
• To enable Trample, first enable Trample in the material instance. Then make sure that "BP_Wind" is placed in the level. Open up "BP_Wind" and search for "Trample". Replace the "Character_Ref" Variable with a reference to your Player Character.
