Render pipeline compatibility
The Built-in Render Pipeline is Unity’s default render pipeline. It is a general-purpose render pipeline that has limited options for customization. The Universal Render Pipeline (URP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that is quick and easy to customize, and lets you create optimized graphics across a wide range of platforms. The High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that lets you create cutting-edge, high-fidelity graphics on high-end platforms.

Craft Stunning 3D Worlds in Minutes with Gaia for Unity 2021!


Create stunning game worlds and environments for console, desktop, mobile, switch & VR.


Gaia makes generating detailed lansdcapes, terrains and levels easy and fast. It saves you weeks and months of work so that you can focus on creating the gameplay that matters.


Gaia is used by over 150,000 game developers, and has been continually developed and constantly supported since its launch in 2015.


Why should you buy Gaia?


Gaia gives you the workflow you prefer, from artist-driven to fully procedural, to deliver simple, fast, and pretty terra-forming, texturing, planting and placement for everything from low poly stylized through to high-end photo-realistic environments.​


The benefits of Gaia include:


  • intuitive rapid visual iteration
  • longevity in the asset store - will always be supported
  • customisable biomes to create any look you want
  • reusable biomes on any terrain in any scene
  • compatible, works with anything

Supports terrain, trees, grass, water and any other intricate biome you wish to create. Also works with GeNa roads and rivers to form a complete world creation platform, GTS for enhanced terrain rendering, and Ambient Sounds for beautiful soundscapes.


Gaia saves time, money, and frustration, by integrating what would typically be many expensive and complicated systems into one simple wizard-based system that automates the majority of the effort needed to make playable levels.​


Gaia and Gaia Pro VS are used in education, defense, simulations, and games such as Zenith, Last Epoch, and Crowfall.


Easy workflow for rapid prototyping and iteration

  • Select your world size, biome, and target platform
  • Procedurally (or manually) generate your base terrain
  • Procedurally texture, plant, and populate based on the biome you choose
  • Optionally export versions of your world optimized for vr, mobile or MMO's
  • Set your lighting, wind, water, controllers, culling, and post fx with a click
  • Press play and explore your world
  • Iterate as needed


Sample Biomes & Assets


Gaia for Unity 6 comes with a minimal set of sample assets to give you a sense of what Gaia does, and to help you to learn how to use them. This helps to keep the price and installation size down.


You can then choose your assets and customize the look and feel of your world to your taste, or you can upgrade to Gaia Pro VS for a much larger set of photogrametry-based assets and biomes.


In addition to the assets that come with Gaia, we are pleased to include sample assets from Synty Studios and 3D Forge.



What additional features does Gaia Pro VS offer over Gaia for Unity 6?


Gaia Pro VS offers the following additional features. There is an upgrade fee to convert Gaia to Gaia Pro VS.


The things that Gaia Pro VS adds to Gaia include:

  • Unity Verified Solution certification
  • Massive world support with streaming
  • Additional stamping, erosion & masking operations
  • Low-poly-style & impostor mesh terrain conversion
  • Over 70 additional photogrammetry enhanced assets & presets
  • Terrain addition/deletion support - dynamically grow your world
  • Biome-based stamping - shape your terrain as part of your biome
  • MMO-friendly export for client/server (colliders / addressables)
  • Terrain stitching - dynamically connect terrains to remove gaps
  • Weather system with rain and snow support (Built-In and URP)
  • Multiple skies, lighting, VFX & sound fx systems
  • GAIA API - call Gaia functions within the editor.

These additional features provide a more refined world-building experience that allow you to bring your creative ideas to life faster and with higher production value.



Video montage notes


The introductory video montage shows a range of scenes created with Gaia Pro and other assets and tools from the Asset Store. The workflow for Gaia and Gaia Pro is largely identical, as the two products share 95% of the same code base.


The intention here is to show that magic can happen when you combine tools with art and add a dash of creativity and effort. The video flythroughs were created using Pegasus and recorded with Unity Recorder.
