Why does the grass change color by default?

I want to add that i had to restart Unity for this to take effect, Otherwise this worked.

This was on 5.3

I found that no matter what I did, setting my tint at 50% just made my grass too dark. See giucapan's answer below.

This doesn't fix anything. The issue is that wins causes the grass to change colors. Setting 50% grey on all 3 tint parameters does NOT fix this. The only way to fix it is to completely turn grass wind off

The change you have provided is the exact same thing as the original

helped me out, thanks!

Yes! Thanks for this! I found my grass was too dark unless I left the 2*:

 return fixed4(2 * color.rbg, color.a);

Also you can also change this line ins$$anonymous$$d:

 fixed3 waveColor = lerp (fixed3(0.5,0.5,0.5), _WavingTint.rgb, fixed3(lighting,lighting,lighting));

to something like this to have a more subtle effect that doesn't go so dark.

 fixed3 waveColor = lerp (fixed3(0.8,0.8,0.8), _WavingTint.rgb, fixed3(lighting,lighting,lighting));

If youre using URP, go to this folder "yourUnityProjectFolder"\Library\PackageCache\com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@7.1.8\Shaders\Terrain and open WavingGrassInput.hlsl in $$anonymous$$ono or Visual and go to line: 98 and change

 return half4(2 * waveColor * color.rgb, color.a); 

to

 return half4(2 *  _WavingTint.rgb * color.rgb, color.a);

Cheers for wasting my time unity

I think I might be missing a step here. Changing this script seems to have no effect on anything, Even if I do something that would break the compiler it still compiles my project, Is there somewhere specific I should put the TerrainEngine.cginc file inside my project, I'm using unity 2019.4

It changes color when I press "play" button. One cycle takes about 12 seconds. From dark green to yellow-green. I have decreased "billboard start" parameter to it's $$anonymous$$ value - 5, but it has not brought a result.

Here are a few parameters that can influence this:

And look at the second picture. It is very strange to me that section Wind Settings has the Grass Tint parameter.

"Explain." isn't an answer, it's just rude.

This doesn't solve anything except keeping the original color value of the grass. The grass still changes colors.

@M_R_M & @dynamicvoltagegames : did you guys actually read the comment properly? He's not talking about the color attributes for the detail mesh/texture; he's talking about the "grass tint" property under "wind settings for grass" which is a terrain property, found under the terrain settings.

Here is the code for how that tint (WavingTint.rgb) is treated in the shader:

 fixed3 waveColor = lerp (fixed3(0.5,0.5,0.5), _WavingTint.rgb, lighting);
 return fixed4(2 * waveColor * color.rgb, color.a);

Color.rgb is whatever color you've assigned to the grass yourselves. And notice the "2 * waveColor" part in there? Guess what happens if you multiply grey (0.5) with 2? Yes, you get 1. What is 1 times color.rgb? Exactly: still color.rgb. Not lighter, not darker, just 1 times color.rgb.

The only downside of setting this to 0.5 is that all these calculations still get done, so if you want this feature disabled, best to just copy the TerrainEngine.cginc like mentioned above and remove the wavecolor variable alltogether. Just have "return color.rgba" at the end there.

Go ahead and try again.
