DISCLAIMER

The GIBLION 2024 asset has been developed and uploaded using Unity 2022.3.18f1 LTS. Any later Unity version is supported as soon as possible, please also contact me for support with any new Unity version, as new Unity versions may break any asset and will help directly with new patches as needed.

The system officially supports Unity 2022.3.18f1 LTS and 6000.0.23f1 LTS and any version that has been tested and have patches for. For Unity 2021.3 please use the original GIBLION asset. The legacy compatibility mode in Unity 6 LTS is not supported.

The system has not been tested on VR, mobile, Mac, consoles, WebGL, OpenGL and Linux. Some modes are also not compatible with Mac, specifically the Geometry Shader based grass module that is used for river edges. Please contact me for any further details as needed.

All assets offcially support the Unity LTS versions cycle they have been uploaded to store with. Currently Unity 6 new URP Render Graph pipeline is supported directly for the last tested version of Unity 6000.0.22f1. Note that the new URP Render Graph pipeline is a totally new and different pipeline than the normal URP, so all effects had to be re-written from scratch for the new platform.

GIBLION asset requires the Mathematics Unity package in Unity 2022.3.18f1 and above, also the Post Processing Unity Package. The asset is configured by default for Linear color space.

Release Notes

NOTES:

1. If there is an error related to depth image when using the Instanced Grass system, please assign in the depth rendering script (DepthRendererCT_URP) the renderer ID of a renderer that is in the pipeline renderers list and has no image effects assigned. The default is 6 if using my sample pipeline. Example image.
