    Hi, I'm currently in the process of learning the terrain system in unity. I did quite some experimenting and I keep having the same problem: grass. Either I hide the far away grass with threes (second image) or I have to live with the ugly fading out of it in the distance (first image), so I was wondering if there is a method or an asset that allows for the grass in the distance to fade in transparency or any other solution someone came up with.

    I don't know myself, but I believe the person who made the Gaia terrain asset also made a grass asset,. And it may do the thing you're looking for.

    Vegetation Studios has one too. It is very cool and you will love it. :) Works great with VS!

    Vegetation Studio will give you "The Sky as Limit". You can do this and more with your grasses and vegetation. ;)

    I second the recommendations for Vegetation Studio. It'll be a kickass release. Keep an eye out for it.

    Vegetation Studio looks cool but I guess it's not out yet, right? How does it allow for more grass to be shown? Does it render it on the gpu, like uNature does?

    I have completely missed this! And it supports VR! I wonder what kind of density we can expect to the foliage if we target PC VR. I dream about a forest map for our VR game

    This *is* the asset that you're looking for
