    ORION Space Scene Generation framework is the next big ARTnGAME asset that is planned to cover all space scene generation aspects, from procedural planets and spaceships to any relevant special effects.

    The system base is the Standard Pipeline, all pipelines are supported for the planet and texture generation, the image effect based modules will be converted to URP-HDRP during the Beta phase, some may require a total re-write, thus can take some time to fully realize.

    The ORION asset will be released as standalone asset, as well as be an upgrade from Sky Master ULTIMATE at lower price, offering the possibility to combine with Sky Master ULTIMATE full volumetric planetary clouds and atmospheric effects, that are best suited for flying though the cloud volume.

    Some of the features planned for the new system
    - Procedural planet generation (All pipelines)
    - Inner planet cavities curving (All pipelines)
    - Lens flares from multiple brightness sources (SRP - TBD URP-HDRP)
    - Black hole system (All pipelines)
    - Galaxy formation generator (All pipelines)
    - Volumetric space dust emulation (SRP - TBD URP-HDRP)
    - Dynamic Background Nebula (All pipelines)
    - Planet atmosphere with light scattering (SRP - TBD URP-HDRP)
    - LOD based planet generation and traversal in run time (All pipelines)
    - Procedural Spaceship generator (All pipelines)
    - Dynamic planetary cloud systems (All pipelines)
    - Dynamic procedural planet shaping and motion (All pipelines)
    - Combination with Sky Master ULTIMATE for full volumetric planetary clouds (All pipelines)
    - Lightning system for planets with multidirectional lighting (All pipelines)
    - Fluid based dynamic planet texture generation (Ideal for Gas Giants) (All pipelines)

    Sky Master ULTIMATE - ORION plugin, Work in progress features for the next big upgrade

    - Added new mini game, 2.5D shooter, with nebulas showcase (shown in video)
    - Added integrated temporal AA to full volumetric nebula
    - Added pixel perfect edges to full volumetric nebula (limitation currently is that all objects should be above the nebula clouds, so the new mode is good for objects against a background nebula)
    - Added HDRP shader based nebula sample scene and materials
    - Added first WIP version of HDRP fully volumetric nebula (it still needs to apply the same cutoffs as URP one for performance and control over the range and implement lightning and galaxy modules as in URP version)

    ORION round planet water system combined demo with Sky Master ULTIMATE URP Round planets clouds will be included in the next version of the new Environment Building Bundle (Currently -50% off). The bundle will be receiving asset combination demos, given all assets involved are accessible through it.

    ORION port to Unity 2021.3 is also now in the works and the next update of the system will be done from Unity 2021.3 directly.
