v4.0.2 from 6th October 2025 [micro update]

Addded package for Unity version 6.2, no changes to materials.
HDRP version fixes for Unity 6.2: demo scene trees were not receiving lighting from Light Probe Grid - fixed, planar reflection now appears not only on water but also on the floor (bit more pleasant look & feel), lighting now mostly light probes grid - not that precise as lightmaps, but lightweight.
URP version fixes for Unity 6.2:demo scene water material has a visual bug from secondary normal map; fixed by removal of secondary normal map. Realtime reflection probe was removed due disfunctional state of this feature in URP. All this is a bit of visuals downgrade.
Built-in version fixes for Unity 6.2: camera movement script caused error due to reliance on old input system, which is disabled in modern version of Unity - fixed, now camera movement script is using actual input system. Also removed bugged "Cross Fade" transition between LODs on all foliage assets.
Replaced all *.ogg background music and sounds with normalized *.wav

v4.01 from 1 July 2024 [micro-fix]

"Use Tirplanar UVs" option now working in my custom HDRP shader "Real Materials Core". This fix is actual only for HDRP materials in Unity 2022.x and up; 2021.x HDRP shader is free from this issue.

v4.0 from 13 August 2023 [big update, backup your project befor installing!]

WARNING! If you already have old version of "Real Materials" installed in your project it's MANDATORY to completely remove them before installing this update. It is impossible to update old materials without making tons of duplicated materials/textures and messed up GUIDs.
12 new materials (23 in total) pluse all old materials are improved/reworked.
New demo scene.
HDRP materials now using a custom shader (made with Shader Graph) with new features: anti-tiling setup using up to 3 texture layers, UV rotation; also there is a rough implementation of triplanar UVs - UV seams will be an issue but for many materials it may work fine (this triplanar feature is not mentioned on product page so it's kinda-sorta extra-bonus-buggy feature to have).
URP and Built-in materials still using standard shaders to avoid issues with too many mobile platforms.
All materials and textures now have a "RM " prefix to avoid problems with materials already present in your project that have same name from other packages.
Optimized compression settings for textures so import time now 10x faster.
With new materials and demo scene package size increased from 2.2GB to 3.1GB.
Minimal supported version now 2021.3LTS.

v3.2 from 7 February 2022 [maintenance update]

Minimal supported version now 2019.4LTS.
Reduced size of skybox texture ([HDRi] Skybox semi-overcast) in demo scene from 8K to 4K. If you need original 8K version it can be downloaded here for free.
Removed "GIPROXY" mesh from all prefabs and source meshes (no need for special proxy object because 2019.4LTS supports "Contribute to GI" option for any mesh).
Some meshes geometry was rotated on 180C to match "Face Y+ direction" rule on assets for store. If you're using meshes from this package - be prepared to check and rotate them in your scenes to return their faces to proper direction.
Minor clean-up in textures settings.
Minor improvements to Trees prefabs to match new rules for assets on store.
Package size slightly reduced from 2.4GB to 2.2GB.

v3.1 from 15 Feb 2020

Fixes to showcase scenes: no more GUID warnings when multiple Real Materials volumes are installed.

v3.02 from 4 February 2020

In Unity 2019.3 version package all textures now have "Streaming mipmaps" flag activated in their properties to allow texture streaming. Note that if you’re developing for Android, you also need to open the Build Settings and set the Compression Method to LZ4 or LZ4HC. Unity requires one of these compression methods for asynchronous Texture loading, which the Texture Streaming system relies upon.

v3.01 from 31 Jan 2020

Maintenance update: Unity 2019.3 version was added for HDRP, URP and Standard rendering pipelines.

v3.0 from 25 July 2019

- Added HDRP & LWRP versions (Unity 2019.1+ required). Both in beta state, materials are fine but showcase scene still looks best in standard rendering pipeline.
Dropped support of Unity versions below 2017.4LTS for Standard render pipeline. It is still possible to use it with older Unity versions, see into documentation.

v1.1 from 10 June 2018

Added camera movement script.
Fixed a bug: if you have 18+ layers in your project some of the meshes from this map were placed on 18th and 31th layers.
Added information panel about how to hide GIPROXY objects from the "Scene" view.
Fixed LPPV updater script, now it will work properly with Unity versions 5.6+ (were LPPVs were not updated and lighting was very dark).
Added second post-processing profile for Post-processing stack v2 [beta].
Simplified metal dummy sphere (now it's single mesh with only one material on it).
Fixed random material order on all LODs of the multi-material meshes.
Added missing mesh colliders to the white rocks in water.
Slightly improved bark material on trees (now with pre-baked ambient occlusion).
Fixed all mesh geometry import warnings for Unity 2017.x+ projects.

v1.0 from 2 April 2018
