PRISM Surface Roadmap

PRISM Surface materials

Create and edit PRISM HDRP surface materials with triplanar mapping, variation, anti-tiling, detail, emission, and artist-facing material controls.

• PRISM materials
• Material Tool

Surface variation and anti-tiling

Break visible repetition with UV variation, pattern variation, stochastic tiling, and coordinated material-layer sampling.

• Anti-tiling
• UV variation

Procedural surface detail

Scatter Mesh Quads and HDRP Decals deterministically across scene geometry with per-source control and mixed-output workflows.

• Mesh Quad scatter
• HDRP Decal scatter
• Mixed output
• Anchored detail

Placement controls and previews

Shape placement with masks, filtering, object detection, profiles, and preview tools before generating final surface detail.

• Masks & filtering
• Object Detection
• Profiles & previews

Material creation from images

Turn source images into PRISM-compatible material maps and materials through the guided Material From Image workflow.

• Material From Image

PRISM Material Converter

Scan scene or selected materials, review compatibility, and convert supported HDRP materials into editable PRISM materials without overwriting the originals.

• HDRP Migration

Expanded Material Surface Controls

Expanded PRISM material controls for supported surface types, cutout and transparent workflows, culling, material fallbacks, and HDRP surface-mode authoring, including Mask Map remapping.

• Surface Types
• Mask Map Remapping

Dynamic Surface Influence

Develop a native runtime surface-influence system for PRISM that propagates effects such as corruption, frost, wetness, scorching, and organic growth across connected environment surfaces.

Atlas-Aware Multi-Region Materials

Develop atlas-aware multi-region PRISM materials with UV0 region classification and independently authored PBR regions, including region-mask authoring and atlas/trim-sheet conversion workflows.

Scatter Preview Refinements

Refine the artist-facing scatter preview with clearer Scene view overlays and compact procedural-mask previews, while retaining exact diagnostic rays.

Expanded Material Authoring & Compatibility

Broader material controls, clearer validation guidance, and improved compatibility workflows for PRISM materials.

Reusable Scatter Rule Profiles

More reusable per-entry rules and profile workflows for faster, more consistent scatter authoring.

Material Filtering & Decal Refinements

Further refinement of material-driven placement filters and HDRP decal compatibility guidance.

Clustering & Richer Procedural Masks

Explore clustering, grouping, and additional procedural mask patterns for more varied surface distributions.

Performance, Profiles & Optional Baking

Explore stronger batching, profile-management tools, and optional baking workflows for generated surface content.

Surface-Aware Masks & External Integrations

Explore longer-term generic mask inputs such as vertex paint, RenderTexture masks, terrain splat masks, and shader-generated masks, with future adapter hooks for external and runtime providers.
