Installation

Requirements

• Unity 2022.3 LTS or Unity 6
• Built-in, URP or HDRP – Built-in projects need the free Shader Graph package from the Package Manager

Import the package

1. Open the Package Manager (Window > Package Manager), select My Assets, find Stylized Nature - Modular Cliffs Pack and click Download, then Import.
2. Keep the Arkerion Studios/Stylized Nature/Shared folder selected in the import dialog: the shaders and the sky live there.
3. Using the Built-in Render Pipeline? Install the free Shader Graph package (Window > Package Manager > Unity Registry > Shader Graph).

Render pipelines

The same materials work in Built-in, URP and HDRP.

• The demo Terrain has a small Arkerion Terrain Pipeline Material component that picks Unity’s default terrain material for the active pipeline.
• The demo sun has an Arkerion Sun Pipeline Intensity component. In Built-in projects with Gamma colour space (the Built-in default), or with Lights Use Linear Intensity / Lights Use Color Temperature off, it adjusts the sun so the scene looks like URP. Everywhere else it changes nothing.
• HDRP uses physical light units: for the demo scenes, add a Volume with an Exposure override and raise the sun intensity to 10000 lux or more.
• Built-in: the demo is made for a Shadow Distance of about 150 (Project Settings > Quality, the “Ultra” default).
• GPU Instancing is off on the materials on purpose: in Built-in, Shader Graph materials with GPU Instancing can be drawn at the wrong position. URP and HDRP batch them with the SRP Batcher.
