Create a forest in Unity using the Tropical Forest Pack and Gaia. If you own Gaia and Tropical Forest Pack you can download the config files from a link below.
An earlier video (youtu.be/zciz3ZLNjJk) shows how quickly you can create results once you have the biomes setup. Then a second video (youtu.be/46AXX2zuRAQ) I showed how to create a terrain texturing biome for Gaia. If you don't own one or both of the Tropical Forest Pack or Gaia you can find my affiliate links to the Unity Asset Store below (help me feed my Matcha habit, I'll do more videos).
00:00 Introduction and preview of the end result (of the series)
00:23 Create Gaia spawner and add the first tree
02:25 Thin trees using Minimum Fitness
03:05 Prevent trees growing on slopes using a Slope Mask
03:57 Add an additional smaller tree
04:57 Prevent smaller trees growing in shade of large trees
05:49 Thin trees using the Location Increment
06:17 Add a third and fourth kind of, even smaller, trees
08:51 Final results from this video and outro
Configuration files and other terrain goodies can be found in my Terrains repo in Github: github.com/TheWizardsCode/Terrains
