Hi Everyone,
I wanted to share some info on a new asset we will be publishing soon called Leaf System Pro.
Have you ever wanted to add leaves to your scene but been totally let down because it just can’t be done right with particle system? We decided to tackle this problem head on and make a totally immersive leaf simulation system.

Wind engine with dynamic direction, strengths and times
Leaf Zone box that defines the area the leaf zone encompasses.
Global Camera Frustum settings
Global Minimum and Maximum Force Clamping for X, Y and Z Axis of Wind
Leaf Physics
Each leaf is weighted based on actual leaf weights
Each leaf is influenced by global wind
Each leaf has built in torque
Each leaf will re-spawn after colliding with leaf zone box
Each leaf will stick to a water layer once is collides and disable the Y influence form global wind manager, causing leaves to glide on water
Each leaf will stick to a layer marked as snow and no longer move.
Each leaf will linger on the ground for user specified interval before re-spawning
Graphics
Each leaf professionally photographed in ambient light with HDR cameras with polarizing lenses
Each leaf is dual sided, PBR shaded, low poly
Over 20 unique leaf types to pick from.
Sound
Each sound recorded with professional grade field sound equipment
Each leaf has a collection of collision sounds based on the collision type : Collides with other leaf, hits ground, hits water, hits snow, player walks on them
Each leaf has a static noise generator for faint flyby whooshing effects.
Global wind manager sounds will adjust the wind volume based on wind strength
