• Vegetation material with wind animation. Speed and direction variables are located in a Parameter Collection, so it is accessible from Blueprints. Wind System Demonstration video.

• Animated water shader.

• Landscape material.

• 19 rocks of various sizes, ranging from pebbles to big rock formations (all the geometries are closed so they can be rotated to create more variation in the scene).

• 6 Agave models.

• 3 Cholla models.

• 8 Palm models.

• 5 Pricky Pear models.

IMPORTANT UPDATE 5/11/2024:

Today I uploaded a fix for this product, to address broken wind animations in foliage instances (weird stretching, wrong wind direction, etc.). This fix is not needed for UE4.

Looks like the material node "BoundingBoxBased_0-1_UVW" works differently in UE5 than in UE4, so wind animations are broken for foliage instances with materials using this node for pivot based foliage swing animation.

You will find a new parameter in the foliage material named "Instance animation fix for UE5" that I left it enabled by default. I leave the option to disable it in case Epic Games fixes the aforementioned node (in case it is a bug, maybe it was changed on purpose, I don't know).
