NOTE: CTS 2019 has reached the end of its life and will be deprecated soon. For existing CTS customers we will offer an upgrade path to our new solution when it is available. For customers who bought CTS in the six months prior to the new release, this will be a free upgrade.

Welcome to CTS 2019 for Unity 2018.3+ and Unity 2019!

A collaboration between NatureManufacture and Procedural Worlds, CTS combines our collective expertise to create a pbr based terrain shading system that is powerful and easy to use!

You can use your own textures or ours, and CTS comes with a professional texture library that can be applied with a click. CTS is profile based and this allows you change the look and feel of your scenes in real time to get your environment looking just right.

CTS 2019 adds support the Unity 2019 release cycle from Unity 2018.3+, substance support, three new instanced shader sets and support for built-in, lw and hd. If you wish to target Unity 5.6 - 2018.3 without instancing, lw or hd then please purchase CTS instead.

Our Customers Say:
"Wow.. amazing results. My co-workers couldn't believe I did this!"
"Best shader terrain, best support reply in 5h."
"This is the best solution and I have tried THEM ALL on unity asset store and only CTS gave me the results I wanted."
"Add CTS to your terrain, create a profile, add some extra texture maps (height, spec, ao etc) and see your terrain pop."
"This should be considered part of your default stack when working with terrain in Unity. With very little effort you can improve the graphics performance of your terrain tenfold, it is essential."

Hardware Support:
- Shader model 3.5+ (basic + advanced);
- Shader model 4.6+ (tesselation);
- Direct X 11 / 12;
- Open GL ES 3.0;
- WebGL 2.0;
- Metal;

Shaders are limited by texture array support and consequently do not support DX9, OpenGLES 2.0 or Web GL1.0.

NOTE #1: Meshes are supported, but the workflow to generate and configure the texture and splat arrays used by CTS is still a terrain based workflow. You can however remove the terrain and replace it with a mesh as last step in process. Please visit our Discord channel if you want more clarification.

NOTE #2: CTS is fast, however old cards without dynamic branching support have had issues with this, so please download and run our demo's before purchasing to ensure your system is compatible.

Upgrade Policy:
Every year as we further develop our products we will charge a nominal upgrade fee which is usually around 20% of the normal purchase price for the next major release of our software. These upgrades are aligned to the major Unity versions they support. For example CTS 2019 will be enhanced and supported for the full Unity 2019 product cycle. You are not obliged to update to newer versions of our products if you do not need to, however old versions of our products will not be supported on new versions of Unity. All upgrade money is fed back to the team to ensure that we can continue to update, grow and support our products and customers over time.
