- Platform Versatility: Supports Unity 6, 2023.x, 2022.x, and 2020.3+ LTS.
- Optimization: Highly optimized code designed to minimize GPU draw calls and compute time.
- Advanced Effects: Includes temporal filtering to reduce noise and color bleeding for added realism.
- XR Ready: Fully supports VR and Orthographic camera setups.
Integration and Compatibility
This asset is Gaia extension ready, allowing for seamless integration into high-end environment workflows. While this package provides the core HBAO logic and shaders, please note that third-party assets used in showcase materials—such as Gaia, BackWoods Gaming terrain stamps, turboscalpeur’s grasses, and Kronnect’s volumetric fog—are sold separately. Full source code is included for developers needing to customize the rendering stack.
