Red Haven - Standalone VR Optimized Stylized Alien Planet (Substance + Shader Graphs + VFX + LODs)

Built a fully VR-optimized tree asset designed for performance without sacrificing atmosphere.
This setup includes a Substance materials, low-poly trees with LODs, shader-animated grass to simulate wind, particle effects optimized through LODs, and subtle leaf animation driven entirely by shaders. The goal was to create a believable, living environment while keeping everything lightweight and efficient.
Currently running 20+ instances for trees and 100+ instances for grasses with LOD simultaneously in front of the VR camera with no noticeable FPS drop.
Focused on pushing real-time performance while maintaining visual depth—something that’s becoming increasingly important for scalable VR experiences.
Built in Unity URP
