Foliage Renderer is a ⚡ Flash Deal ⚡ today and there are plenty more assets which I didn't showcase yet. Among them are The Vegetation Engine and Enviro. So I wanted to find a way to combine those assets. The Little Dragons of Malbers are too cute, so I thought of a project I did years ago and wanted to see how fast I can recreate it.
I amped up the details of the vegetation beyond anything that makes sense (2000 is way too much), just wanted to see how Foliage Renderer handles it. Pretty good 😁
Meadow Environment was converted to the TVE material beforehand, I thought I could skip showing that part. TVE has nice presets for that purpose. It also has awesome features like grass bending. So I thought I'd put that in as well.
Please note that the code for the Bubble Shooter is free on Github. I put it there years ago. Maybe I'll put it to the Asset Store so that it's easier to access for everyone.

![Moving an Oasis in the Desert with MicroVerse is super fast
Quick follow-up to yesterdays video about Oasis creation: Of course you can parent the stamps to a gameobject and move it. Since that would have been so fast, I took the liberty of adding a few higher sand dunes and some massive rocks 😁
00:00 Parent oasis gameobjects
00:10 Move parent
00:20 Add large sand dunes
00:44 Add big rocks and texture them

![Snow Tiger in Winter Landscape
Awesome assets are coming our away. Malbers starts with the release of his Realistic Tiger. Its my new favorite. Just awesome, but see for yourself in this quick showcase.
It motivated me to continue the work on the animated emission effect. Its actually not that hard to do once you figure out how to do it 🙂
Theres more to come of course.
By the way, Ida Faber released the River Spirit Waterbender yesterday, I hope to find the time to make a vid soon. And NatureManufacture is also about to release a new asset. Exciting times ahead 😁

![Fox in Snow with Magic being painted along its Fur
Thank you very much everyone for the excellent feedback of the previous Fox in the Snow video. One thing that was mentioned the most was that I should have added light to the fox when Magic mode is active. Well, so I did. And I went the extra mile and taught myself how to animate the Magic being painted by following the lines.
Its actually fairly trivial once you know what to do. The animated lines are a graident texture. I took the emissive texture of the fox and painted paths over it. The paths got a stroke with a gradient applied. Then in Unity I created a shader that basically overlays the gradient paths on the emissive texture. And that gradients appearance is controlled using a script.
You can do all kinds of stuff with that, e. g. also have something like Godzilla when he powers up for his blast. Its a nice effect and adds a certain extra to the scene 😀
Also, I updated the camera to use CineMachine 3. Its really good. Smooth and easy to set up. And very versatily.

![Grasslands - Stylized Nature - MicroVerse Presets
My Biomes & Presets 2 for MicroVerse will be in the upcoming sale. So I figured Id purchase one of the the assets thats top in the current sale and create presets for it. The choice was Grasslands - Stylized Nature.
In addition while at it I use stamps that I added today to the Ultimate StampIt! Collection as a free upgrade, i. e. Strata Rocks.
The video is a quick showcase. Grasslands is absolutely beautiful and performs really well.
The update is pending review by the Unity Asset Store team. Should be live within a few days.

![Setting up Water Bender with Magica Cloth in NEW NatureManufacture Environment
NatureManufacture released their latest asset yesterday and its just gorgeous. I had purchased Ida Fabers Water Bender asset when it was released few weeks ago. And these two assets seemed totally fitting. So I created a quick scene with them to see how it all looks. I also updated the collider creator for Magica Cloth 2 and so heres a quick video of all of the assets combined. I like it 😀
By the way, NatureManufactures demo scene in the video is in URP and the way this looks is most impressive. I had no idea URP could look that good 😍

![Upcoming Browser Wizard in Genesis for MicroVerse
Unitys Refresh Assets Sale is coming to and end and I wanted to create a quick ad. While doing so I needed a fast way to show various iterations of Biome preset combinations. One thing led to the other and now therell soon be a Browser Wizard in Genesis for MicroVerse. Meaning: The MicroVerse Content Browsers data are being used to populate the terrain with Biome shapes. Also, the speed of MicroVerse is most impressive as you can see 😁 So fast!
Ill update the Genesis Asset Store version soon with that new feature.

I think the only thing thats missing is Snow, I hope theyll also add that. I should create a dedicated video with their assets combined.

![Quick Photo Session with Panda Bear and Fluffy Wolf
I found an old project of mine with a Fluffy-fied Wolf and thought Id update it to work with Unity 6. While at it I figured Id add the new Realistic Bear that Malbers released last week to the scene. The bear has a simple follow target script attached, so it follows the Wolf. Its just some test with the visuals. Unity 6 is awesome. Performs really good.
The scene is Unitys Book of the Dead Environment.
