Thank you so much for the kind words — and especially for the tip! I really appreciate it, that was incredibly kind of you!

I’m really happy to hear that the changes worked out and that you’re getting the N64 look you were aiming for. Feedback like yours genuinely helps me improve the toolkit, so thank you again for taking the time to suggest it and test the implementation! I’d absolutely love to see what you’re working on whenever you feel ready to share it!

If you run into anything else or have any other ideas or suggestions while working with the toolkit, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’ll be more than happy to take a look.

Thanks again for all the support, and good luck with the project!

Hey! Thanks again for the suggestion! 😊

I’ve just uploaded Gen5 Toolkit v3.0.3, which includes the changes you requested.

You can check the v3.0.3 changelog for the full details of what was added and changed. I hope the new implementation gives you the look you were aiming for!

I’ll keep this issue open for now, so once you’ve had a chance to try it, please let me know what you think. If you feel anything could be adjusted or improved, just let me know and I’ll be happy to take another look at it.

Thanks for helping make Gen5 Toolkit better! ❤️

Hey! Thank you so much for the feedback — I’m really glad you’re enjoying the asset! 😊

That’s an extremely valid point. The N64’s anti-aliasing and blur are a big part of what distinguishes its visual style from the sharper, more jagged PSX aesthetic.

I’ll add an option for this in the next update, which I plan to upload by tomorrow at the latest. The update will also include support for Unity 6.5.

Thanks again for the suggestion!

I sent you a message on X so I could send you the dev builds for you to test :D

I noticed there's a problem when selecting Gen5 Sky directly from the Sky Volume settings; the effects don't appear in the editor, even though they do appear at runtime. If you create an empty object in the scene and add the Gen5 Sky Monobehavior to it, Sky Volume automatically pulls it in and the effects appear in the editor as well, as they should. I'll upload a fix for that too.

And I'm curious to know what you've been cooking! 🤩

Hi rick0! Sorry the late on the answer! 

At the moment this is only partially possible.

Right now, the pipeline does have some UI-specific handling, but it does not yet support a full separate UI rendering path with its own volume profile, and it also cannot completely exclude a Canvas from all pipeline effects in a general way.

What is possible today is:

• UI can be rendered in a separate UI stage inside the pipeline
• there are settings that help with UI readability/clipping for World Space and Screen Space - Camera canvases
• motion blur can already be configured to affect or ignore UI overlay rendering

If that is something you need, I will implement a dedicated option to enable/disable the pipeline effects for UI/Canvas rendering specifically. If you want, I can also make that configurable per camera or per canvas depending on your use case.

No problem! You can just download the newer version and update it in your project. I’ve built the package so that updates should not break things that are already set up in existing projects, since everything is handled with serialization.

So in theory, updating should be pretty safe. 

Please let me know if you run into any issues.

Hey!

It does seem like the Gen5 Sky option inside the Sky Volume is having issues at the moment.

As an alternative, you can do the following: create an empty GameObject in the scene and add the Gen5 Sky component to it. This should automatically update the Sky Volume to use Gen5 Sky, and the clouds should start working as expected.

Since you're still on 2.0.1, this is likely related to that behavior.

Hi rick0! I’m really happy to hear you liked the Gen5 Sky.

I’ll check the Gen5 Sky behavior in version 2.0.1 tomorrow, especially the cloud movement, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

Hello rick0!

We'll have another major update around the 7th or 8th of this month. With the help of our supporter Nahiro, I've moved forward with the roadmap, and it's expected to include:

- Dynamic shadows for Directional, Spot and Point lights with shadow resolution options;

- Pine trees in Gen5 Tree;

- And a procedural terrain generator with a custom editor;

Hello Nahiro, thank you so much for your support, my friend! 🙏

If you’d like to discuss a business proposal, feel free to reach out to me anytime at holomindstudios@gmail.com.

I’ll be happy to talk!

Glad it worked well for you :D Thank you again for the feedback and all the support! 🙌

Hi! Just a quick update 😊

I’ve released a new update both on itch.io and the Asset Store, adding the wind effect directly to the G5Lit shader. You can find it in the Advanced Options of the default pipeline material (G5Lit):

• If you enable the Wind override, the shader will use the advanced sliders to control the wind effect directly.

• If you disable it, the material will automatically use the wind settings from the Terrain instead.

This gives you full control, depending on whether you want per-material customization or global terrain-driven wind. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback — happy to help! 🙌

Just a heads up, the Asset Store can take 1 to 3 days to approve the update, but if you want to test and use it, you can use the version available here on Itch, it's version v2.0.2.

Hi Nahiro! First of all, thank you again so much for the support, you've made my day again haha! 😄❤️

In the current Gen5 Render Pipeline, dynamic (realtime) shadow casting isn’t supported. That’s an intentional limitation to keep the pipeline lightweight and consistent with the retro rendering style. Shadows are available via baking only. Objects need to be static and you need to enable Baked Lighting Enabled in the default pipeline material (G5Lit)

If you want realtime shadows (dynamic) in the future, I can look into adding that for sure!

Hope that helps!

Thank you so much for the kind words, I’m really glad you’re enjoying the kit! 🙌
I’ll add your request to the asset, and it should be available in an update by Friday at the latest.

If possible, leaving a review on the Asset Store would help a lot — it really makes a difference.
Thanks again for the support! ❤️

Thanks for the question and for purchasing the toolkit! I double‑checked the docs.

The “wind effects” mentioned in the docs are implemented, but only for Terrain grass details (the built‑in grass / billboard details). Those use the G5WavingGrass shaders, which include a procedural wind/wave animation. Detail meshes (painted as meshes) use a different shader (G5TerrainDetail), and that shader doesn’t include any sway logic — so there’s no place to “enable” it right now.

You’re absolutely right that the docs don’t clarify where the effect applies; I’ll update the documentation to make it explicit that it applies to Terrain grass details, not mesh details.

If you’d like, I can implement sway in the mesh detail shader as well (so painted meshes move similarly). Just let me know and I can add it as a request.

Hello Nahiro,

Which version of this toolkit you're using? You get from itch.io or Unity Asset Store? 

I really appreciate your patience and your feedback. If you need anything else, I’m always around! I also followed you to keep an eye on what you’ll be creating next 👀! Haha Thank you again!

Hi rick0!

Good to know you managed to solve the first issue! :D As for the second one, I believe I’ve fixed it in the new version 1.0.4 that I uploaded to the package page.

Basically, as you mentioned, the pipeline didn’t support UI Masking because it cleared the stencil buffer, but I think that was implemented specifically for WebGL.

In this new version I added the option “Preserve Stencil Before UI Rendering” in the Camera Volume, and now it should work as expected. In my tests I was able to reproduce the effect and the UI Masking worked properly. Can you check if it solves the issue for you?

Check this print:

Thanks again for the feedback!

Hi rick0!

Thank you very much for purchasing the Gen5 Toolkit and for your feedback! May I ask which Unity version you’re using? Meanwhile, here are some workarounds you can try:

Problem 1: World Space UI not being occluded Try disabling depth buffer clearing: Scene Volume Profile > Camera Volume > disable “Is Clear Depth Before UI Enabled”. This preserves the depth buffer before UI rendering, allowing proper occlusion. Let me know if it works.

Problem 2: Masks not working with “Screen Space - Camera” You can try using multiple canvases — one in Screen Space - Overlay (using masks) and another in Screen Space - Camera (using shaders). If that doesn’t work for your case, you can test a custom shader that preserves the stencil buffer, like this one:

Shader "Custom/UI-ScreenSpaceCamera"
{
    Properties
    {
        [PerRendererData] _MainTex ("Sprite Texture", 2D) = "white" {}
        _Color ("Tint", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
        [MaterialToggle] PixelSnap ("Pixel snap", Float) = 0
        [HideInInspector] _RendererColor ("RendererColor", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
        [HideInInspector] _Flip ("Flip", Vector) = (1,1,1,1)
        [HideInInspector] _AlphaTex ("External Alpha", 2D) = "white" {}
        [HideInInspector] _EnableExternalAlpha ("Enable External Alpha", Float) = 0
    }
    SubShader
    {
        Tags
        {
            "Queue"="Transparent"
            "IgnoreProjector"="True"
            "RenderType"="Transparent"
            "PreviewType"="Plane"
            "CanUseSpriteAtlas"="True"
        }
        Stencil
        {
            Ref [_Stencil]
            Comp [_StencilComp]
            Pass [_StencilOp]
            ReadMask [_StencilReadMask]
            WriteMask [_StencilWriteMask]
        }
        Cull Off
        Lighting Off
        ZWrite Off
        ZTest [unity_GUIZTestMode]
        Blend SrcAlpha OneMinusSrcAlpha
        ColorMask [_ColorMask]
        Pass
        {
            CGPROGRAM
            #pragma vertex SpriteVert
            #pragma fragment SpriteFrag
            #pragma target 2.0
            #pragma multi_compile_instancing
            #pragma multi_compile_local _ PIXELSNAP_ON
            #pragma multi_compile _ ETC1_EXTERNAL_ALPHA
            #include "UnitySprites.cginc"
            ENDCG
        }
    }
}

If none of these solve the issue, just let me know and I’ll test it on my side and implement a fix as soon as possible :D Thanks again for the support and your patience!

Best regards, Holomind

I'll update this pack this week with some suggestions and glb format. Thank you for your comment! :D

Hi! Yeah, I have no problem with that. I will change the license today. Thanks for the comment.

Hello!

Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing my assets for your next game! 😊

I really appreciate your suggestions. I will definitely add that. Additionally, I'll make sure to export the assets in the .glb format too.

I'm planning to release an update with these new items and the .glb format til July 12th.

It was a litle bit buggy but the animations was great

Really cool concept! The zoom in was a bit tough but the theme implementation was really special!

Really fun to play! Haha

Really cool concept!! Reminds me of Buckshot Roulette. It's really impressive what you acomplish in such a short time. Awesome!

Really cool and very polished! Loved the art <3
