Craft Stunning 3D Worlds in Minutes with Gaia Pro 2023!
- Gaia makes it easy and fast to create beautiful worlds for console, desktop, mobile & VR. The 2023 release offers more control, flexibility, and support for the latest Unity features, along with a new and streamlined install.
- Winner of Unity’s “Best Artistic Tool” award, the wizard-based Gaia simplifies terraforming, texturing, and placement for stylized to photorealistic worlds. Gaia makes generating detailed scenes and levels easy and fast, eliminating weeks of manual work.
- The new modular 2023 version lets you choose which components to install to save space in your project. New features include GPU terrain rendering, touch controls, streamlined pipelines, and support from Unity 2022.3 onwards. Backed by the Canopy Community’s forums, tutorials, and active user base, Gaia saves you weeks of work by automating environment creation from start to finish.

- Support and continued development for Unity version 2022.3 and upwards.
- Support for Unity’s GPU instanced terrain detail (grass) rendering.
- Support for Assembly definition files for faster compile times.
- Reorganized folder structure to align with best practices.
- Removed dependency on Unity’s old input system.
- Integration of Unity’s new HDRP Water system.

Why we think you’ll like Gaia:
- Gaia gives you the workflow you prefer, from artist-driven to fully procedural, to deliver simple, fast, and pretty terra-forming, texturing, planting and placement for everything from low poly stylized through to high-end photo-realistic environments.
- Gaia saves time, money, and frustration, by integrating what would typically be many expensive and complicated systems into one simple wizard-based system that automates the majority of the effort needed to make playable levels.
- Gaia is backed by our Canopy Community, with forums, a library with video and written articles that go over and above to teach you not only about Gaia but also things like level design, lighting, optimization, and more, and you can share your journey with our thriving and helpful community.
- Gaia is extensible. We have created Game Ready Levels, Procedural Spawner Packs, Stamp Packs, and Micro Biomes that make creating new and exciting variations on your levels easy. With GeNa Pro, you can further dress your levels to add roads, rivers, lakes, spline-based extrusions, and even sophisticated procedural structures and villages to make your scenes more interesting.
- Gaia is used in education, defense, simulations, and games such as Zenith, Last Epoch, and Crowfall. Even NASA uses Gaia! Gaia has consistently been among the most popular tools on the asset store and was awarded “Best Artistic Tool” in the 2020 Unity Awards. Gaia Pro 2023 further evolves the platinum standard for world generation.
- Gaia turns weeks and months of effort into hours and days, and with your beautiful worlds sorted, you can focus on creating the gameplay that matters.

Video Montage Notes:
The introductory video montage shows a range of scenes created with Gaia and other assets and tools from the Asset Store. The intention is to show that magic can happen when you combine tools with art and add a dash of creativity and effort. The video flythroughs were created using Pegasus and recorded with Unity Recorder.
