It's really easy and fun to use and you can make some really nice atmospheric foggy environments with it!
Heck, I ended up making a bunch of demo scenes for it cause I couldn't stop playing with it π

It's *unnecessarily* fun
I was kinda thinking of how could it'd be to have something like geometry nodes in unity, but just writing the code is awesome too

And brute-forcing the mesh generation is awesome, shader-wise because that way

As great as the splines package was for quick testing, it was slow af
now it goes brrrrrrrr in the editor and I'm still very much brute-forcing the geometry generation, no burst, compute shaders or anything

Thanks Luke! I'm not too happy about the implementation just yet, so when I make it good I'll probably share more :P

The larger part is pretty much explained by Tommaso's tweet here:

I was a bit intimidated by this at first, but it's all just a bunch of raycasts and branching and being careful not to overflow your stack π

Thanks! I guess the idea would be to convert it into a mesh (shown on next post) and scatter points on that to generate quads for the leaves. This is all an offline process, so I don't care for the performance of the process π

Damn, the splines package is really cool for this sort of thing, it was super easy to extrude a nice mesh out of this mess π
Given how fun this already is, I'm like, 50% done on a silly string thrower simulator

Finally got around to trying my hand (pun) at something akin to ivy generation and I'm already having way too much fun even with just the gizmo lines π
This is definitely something I'm going to overuse, and I *will* use it for evil

1.1.6 is now live, featuring the exposed temporal accumulation controls (along with some minor fixes here and there)
HAZE is still 50% off, but not for long! Grab it while you still can!

As requested by some users, next HAZE update will expose the temporal accumulation blending, which can be reduced in order to address trailing artifacts from moving lights (like flashlights etc) β¨
HAZE is still 50% off, so it's a great chance to try it out if you haven't!

Yup, this is in a transparent lit shader made with shader graph; it's true there's no final color, so the blending is a bit hacky (turning albedo black, smoothness and AO to 0 and lerping emission to fog color)

Thanks! No nothing like that, I just compose the fog before rendering transparent objects and I'm just sampling the fog separately on the transparent shader to apply it π

Also coming to HAZE soon:
Proper transparency support β¨
Due to how the effect gets composited, transparency doesn't work out of the box, so I'll be including some handy SG subgraphs and HLSL functions to help you sample HAZE in your custom transparent shaders

That's really awesome to hear, thank you Dan! I haven't had the chance to play Keeper yet, but I love the visuals and the stylization of everything I've seen, especially on the tech-art/vfx front!
