Overview / Usage

Gaia Pro 2021 is a powerful, all in one open world generation, optimization and streaming system for Unity 3D that creates stunning mobile, vr, console and desktop landscapes and scenes that run well and look great in minutes.

It delivers simple, fast and pretty landscapes, terra-forming, texturing, planting and procedural content placement using our assets or yours as you prefer.

With Gaia you will:

• Select your world size, biome and target platform;
• Procedurally generate your terrain based on the generator criteria you set;
• Procedurally texture, plant and populate based on the biome you chose;
• Optionally export versions of your world optimized for mobile or mmo's;
• Setup your lighting, wind, water, controllers, culling and post fx with a click;
• Press play and explore your world.

Gaia saves time, money and heartache by including everything you need to bring your vision to life, and create studio quality landscapes, terrains and scenes in hours and days instead of weeks and months.

Used by Indies, Pro's, Military, Government, Enterprise and even NASA, Gaia gets you up and running in minutes!

Methodology / Approach

Content creation is hard and most people lack the skills and the time to generate amazing environments that look great and run well.

To leverage Gaia you create a project in Unity 3D in the desired render pipeline, and for the platform your are targeting.

You then install Gaia and the assets you want to use in your project. You can choose to use the sample assets we provide, or optionally use your own within your own biomes.

You then create a new scene and use the Gaia Manager to take you through the process of creating your environment.

• Some people will generate a base terrain, stamp in their key landscape features, and then select a biome and procedurally apply it to their environment.
• Others will leverage the Worlds Designer part of Gaia and procedurally generate the entire thing. It really depends on the people involved and what they are trying to achieve.

Finally you can optimize and then build your project.
