Modern 2D/2.5D Vegetation/Grass

Advanced 2D Grass & Vegetation System for Unity

Modern 2D Grass is a customizable vegetation system for top-down games, platformers, pixel art, hand-drawn games, and stylized 2D projects.

Use your own sprites(or the ones included) to create grass, flowers, plants, reeds, bushes, or other vegetation. Paint vegetation directly in the editor, generate it procedurally, add wind, shadows and interactions, and control how it blends with the environment.

The system is built for both small decorative areas and very dense vegetation fields.
