Thanks for your review. Gaia has been actively developed and supported since 2012, and as Unity versions evolve, so does Gaia. We offer a range of versions to cater to different needs and skill levels. In our latest release during the 2025 Black Friday sale, which we gave to all of our Gaia Pro VS customers for FREE, we added a very cool Book of the Dead biome pack, new lighting profiles to go with it, and 140 high-quality themed stamps. We also threw in our GTS terrain shader, and our intention by adding so much more capability is to make Gaia the best value terrain generation tool on the asset store. Gaia Pro VS does not seek to be a lighting tool. It's a terrain generation and streaming tool with many value-adds. Why do we do this? Because we want people to get the best experience we can, and because it's convenient to click a button in a wizard to have things set up for you automatically. Gaia offers these systems, but they are 100% optional, so that you can swap in your own preferred system or workflow. We understand your point that this can be confusing, but we hope this is a strength, as you now have a wide range of content and capabilities at your disposal, not just from us but from the community as a whole. In terms of documentation, because it is so deep after 10 years of development, it's impossible to detail everything. It comes with a 100-page guide, and all the systems are self-documenting via the ? icon in the interface. There are also many videos. We focus on documenting core features rather than addons. From a developer's perspective, we hear you about the API documentation and will add it to our guide in a future release. We have an active support team. We respond to all enquiries and do our best to provide our customers with what they need to be successful. If there is something we can do for you, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us.

Thank you for your support over the years! We have a big thanks coming your way in the next few weeks! We are making our stamp mega pack available FREE for all Gaia Pro VS users, AND.... We are repackaging and updating the content from the Book of the Dead, and adding in a few surprises of our own, with another FREE upgrade. Watch this space :)

Thanks very much for your kind review - we really appreciate it! Interestingly, Gaia Pro VS is also used by large teams, and I just spent a year working on a project with one for a very large environment. We have a new product Storm which you can get directly from us, and this takes both the performance, and visuals to an entirely new level. Our goal with Storm is to deliver both the natural, and the built world, at up to 10x the framerates possible with Unity, and AAA levels of quality.

Thanks for your review. Your talent speaks for itself. Super proud to have you as a customer.

Thanks for your review. It's funny, but the thing that drove me to create Gaia in the first place was making my worlds in Unity by hand, and I know that Gaia does a far better job, and faster, than I ever could. It appears that your primary concern is the culling distance of your trees. Gaia provides defaults in the trees themselves and also features a culling system to help balance performance against the amount of content being rendered, which is easily adjustable. You are welcome to contact support@procedural-worlds.com if you need assistance with adjusting this.

Thanks for your review! Glad you are enjoying Gaia. We have some cool new features coming soon that make it even easier to create larger worlds!

Thanks for the review! Glad you are enjoying Gaia. We put a lot of effort into our tools, and we have even more cool features coming in the next month or so.

Thanks so much for the review. Glad you like the tools, and I am very appreciative of the kind words!

Thanks for your review. Hard to comment on your specifics because there is no context. Scene generation in Gaia is GPU-accelerated and fast, with numerous videos to support this claim. However, if you have a large world, then yes, it is slower. It has to be, as you need to create every single terrain tile, load and unload it for streaming, and so on. Most of this time is spent on scene load/unload, rather than scene generation. The issue is Unity itself, and it's why we made Storm. As a general comment, if people are experiencing slow performance, it's because something went wrong, and in 99% of cases, when people take the time to ask, we help them achieve success.

Thanks for your review. Gaia is quite flexible in its use, but you will also need to invest a little time in learning how to use it.
