Getting Started

A brief on installing Flora and getting it working with your scenes.

Before you start painting and converting instances, ensure your materials and shaders are compatible with Flora. For more information, see Shaders And Materials.

Install

• Install Flora from the Unity asset store: Installing asset store packages.

• After the package is installed, the Flora package manager window should appear. Use the window to install Flora and any additional add-ons or dependencies. You can also access the package manager from the Flora menu in the top menu bar.

Samples

Terrain

Flora allows you to render Unity's terrain details and trees as instances. Add a SceneSettings object to your scene from the scene context create menu: Create -> Flora -> Scene Settings. By default this should register any terrains in the scene automatically, adding a TerrainProvider component to each terrain in the scene.

Conversion

If you have existing GameObjects that you want to render with Flora, you can easily convert them to instances using the scene hierarchy context menu by right clicking a selection of GameObjects in the scene.
