Thungsten Clouds

UNITY ASSET STORE

Bring your Unity environments to life with performant, highly customizable dynamic clouds and shadows. Seamless visuals with zero overhead.

🌥️ Realistic Cloud Coverage

Built-in layered noise masking and dual-layer parallax scrolled textures creates believable, non-repeating cloud formations. Autogenerated mesh with configurable 3D height detail.

⚡ Performant

Uses a single draw call which is then modulated by clouds and shadows. Adjust resolution and position freely, only rendering pixels that are needed.

🧩 Highly Customizable

Run clouds and projected shadows together or completely separately. Adjust scales, smoothness, puffiness, coverage and more to achieve just the style you want.

☀️ Adapts to Environment

Shadows and lighting respond automatically to your scene's main directional light. Simulate time-of-day shifts with zero manual tweaking.

🔄 Camera Distance Fade

Fade out clouds smoothly with configurable start/end range as the camera comes closer to avoid obstructing gameplay.

⏱️ Custom Time Control

Adjust or freeze cloud movement without touching global time. Pause, rewind, or accelerate clouds freely.

🪄 User-friendly UI

Comes with a tailored editor that replaces the default inspector for easy configuration.

⚙️ Fully Runtime Configurable

Control all features mentioned above and more settings through code or inspector in the editor or during runtime for varying and smooth effects.
