EFFECT OVERVIEW

This effect was created using Unity URP with VFX Graph. The three tree models were made in Blender.

PETALS

The petals on the trees and the falling petals are part of the same VFX graph effect. The petals on the trees where placed randomly using a signed distance field custom for each tree model. The wind sway of the tree petals was created using two types of noise.

The falling petals are spawned in using the same signed distance field as the tree petals. Gravity and a directional force are applied to get the falling motion. The directional force uses world space.

WIND WISPS

The wind wisps are a simple trails system made in VFX graph with a directional force.

WATER

The water is the same water shader I outlined here. The values were toned down for the scene.
