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

Addded package for Unity version 6.2, no changes to materials.
Unity 6.2 [built-in]: 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 bushes.

Unity 6.2 [all]: three flowerbed prefabs now have colliders properly assigned.

v4.01 from 2nd 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 16 August 2023 [big update]

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.
All materials and textures now have a "RM" prefix.
One new material (13 in total), old materials are improved where possible.
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.
Optimized compression settings for textures so import time now 10x faster.
Package size reduced from 2.6GB to 2.1GB.
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 in demo scene from 8K to 4K, and thus reduced package size on 160MB. If you need original 8K version - it can be found inside this free package from Unity itself, check "MuirWood" folder.
Price reduced from 23$ to 18$.

Material "Steel zinc-plated iridescent colorful" (now "Zinc iridescent colorful") was reworked from scratch and looks totally different.
Added simple material "Nickel polished". Now there are 12 materials in the package.
Minor improvements and tweaks here and there in material settings.
Price reduced from 30$ to 23$.

All materials in package now adapted for Unity 5.3 new GGX specular rendering.

Showcase scene reworked and now it's available as separate download (link provided in asset description). "UV density check material" also moved there.
Price increased to 30$ (~3$ per material).

v1.13
