This pack requires Unity 2021.3 LTS and Higher.

It contains R.A.M 2023 tools system: splines, lakes, fence

The whole import process and tutorials will be in upcoming videos. Give us a few days, the pack is -50% for 2 weeks. Step by step we will build a whole video library. Please also check the manual "RAM 2023 Manual" which helps you in the import process and make the first steps.

It supports:

Built-in: It requires a mathematics pack from the unity package manager. It's free unity package, and it contains additional libraries for spline systems and shaders.
URP: it requires unity VFX (visual effect graph) if you want to use our distortion particles. You always could use unity particles but they are slower.
HDRP: no additional packs are needed.

To run HD or URP please import the pack to HD or URP project and then import the support pack which is inside the asset in "HD and URP Support Packs" folder. It will replace shaders, prefabs, and meshes so they will work with RP out of the box. Please also check the readme files inside that folder.

If you want to use this asset with our older R.A.M 2019 water system remove or do not import folders called: additional tools and spline system from R.A.M 2019. Our 2023 splines have a different construction so old splines need to be rebuilt but old water shaders will work fine.

L.V.E 2023 contains a few main tools and aspects.

Splines: Tools to create rivers, roads, and cliffs. It may carve and paint terrains. With flow-map and vertex color tools, you can customize every shape. You can snap it to every object and take normal from it so you can blend surface with unity terrain
Lakes: Tools to create lakes, endless seas, and big closed shapes. It may carve and paint terrains, and generate, with flow-map and vertex color tools you can customize every shape. You can snap it to every object and take normal from it. It also can paint the whole terrain with predefined rules as we did in the video
Fence: Tool that spawns objects with probability. It may bend and modify 3d meshes. It co-ops with splines so it’s perfect to create side road objects as well. It also may be used to create curved complex stair objects curved by splines
Vertex painter: Tool which allows painting flow-map and vertex color on 3d meshes but not splines and lakes
Unified terrain paint system which can paint the whole terrain with different biomes
Shader's environment supports lava and river complex features like automatic rock heating or terrain blending
Particles: Advanced particle library to create an immersive lava environment. HD and URP also start to use VFX to achieve the best performance
3D content: 3D rocks which can be automatically heated in real-time or in editor mode, Cliffs which support shape normals and curvature, and leaks
Terrain stamps and background models
9 Demo scenes: day, dynamic flow, sunset, night, cave

What is new in the 2023 version in relation to 2019:

Realtime lava flow and object heating.
Rebuilt flow map system, shaders, and debug modes
Complex terrain painting, now you can paint the whole terrain using predefined biomes (profiles). Like we did in the video.
Sea and huge lakes support. Automatic GPU or CPU LOD's : They get high resolution only close to the camera. Now you can generate a huge mesh for the sea
Rebuilt lava river shaders. More control over the effects, real-time flow, and slope speed multiply
The new flow map painter now supports smudge, repulsion, attraction, and direction.
Updated /Rebuilt vertex color painting
New UI, more control over the splines and lakes
Mesh density control per point in the splines and lakes
Added fence tool which can bend meshes, and co-op with lake and river splines
New fixed tiling option on splines: you can scale mesh without stretching the UV. This function doesn't support seamless spline connections yet
Volcano terrain stamps
Volcano and mountains background models
Rebuilt and refreshed 3d meshes. Triplanar shaders now support curvature, leaks, and shape effects. Rocks could be heated or become wet
Rebuilt automatic heating object script. Now you can setup also the time that the object needs to become wet/heat and dry/cold again when it touches or lost connection with a spline
A lot of new debug modes to check every aspect of the spline
9 Demo Scenes: day, night, sunset, dynamic flow
VFX particles
New particles like lava bubbles, smoke or rock explosions, lava waterfalls, geysers
Added our snow texture examples
Support for all new upcoming: Built-In HD and URP versions
New API with examples

The whole asset becomes totally rebuilt during 2 years of development. Soon we will rebuild and release also water system based on the same technology. Until that time you can use our river water materials - R.A.M 2019

L.V.E 2023– Lava and Volcano Environment 2023 is a new rebuild and extended version of L.V.E. 2019. It is a big pack of environments, systems, tools, textures, particles, post-processing stacks, and models which give you the ability to create volcanos, caves, interiors, and rivers in high-quality results and very cheap in render setup. Lava rivers can flow and heat objects in real time. Our spline and vertex paint tools which are included in this pack will support many very advanced systems/arts. The simulation tool gives you the ability to create a lava river that is accurate to terrain shape via 3 mouse clicks. You simply set the first point and click Simulate. Physics scripts give you the ability to flow objects on the lava surface and heat in real-time. You also could heat static objects which touch lava out of the box via our shader and script. Rocks and textures in these packs could also be used as asteroids or in typical environments. All assets, post-processing, and demos from the video are included in the pack. Tutorial scenes will help you to get full info about features.

PACK FEATURES:

# 1 Spline and lake tools:

Create very advanced connected lava river networks (lakes, rivers,)
automatic flow map with noises;
real-time lava flow and object heating
customize your lava river/lake via vertex paint and flow map by the painter.
physics simulation for objects that flow on the lava surface
automatic heating for objects that flow or touch lava surface
