Cherry blossoms

We wanted to include a cherry blossom tree as an element in the puzzle, so we searched for royalty-free assets and found a good one on a certain website.

These are low-polygon assets, and it can customize the blooming flowers, green leaves, and falling leaves via materials, and use shaders to make them sway. Best of all, they are provided as a Unity package, making them easy to import.

However, since the shaders were designed for SRP, we had ChatGPT rewrite them for URP. There were a few errors, but we relayed the details each time, and it corrected them. While we could grant ChatGPT permission to perform file operations or control Unity directly—which would allow it to handle the process automatically—we’ve heard stories of various mishaps, so we’ve limited its access to simply exporting files to a designated working folder.
