The Foliage Renderer replaces Unity Terrain's Tree and Detail rendering with a faster, indirect rendering path.

Features:

• GPU based rendering, freeing up significant CPU time

• Cell based Streaming and Culling of terrain details

• GPU based Frustum Culling

• GPU based HI-Z Occlusion Culling in BiRP, HDRP & URP

• Supports up to 4 LODs per object with LOD Crossfade Support

• Supports LODs on Unity Terrain Details

• Support for Single Pass Stereo Rendering

• Ability to pass Height, Normal, and Albedo of terrain, as well as user defined per-terrain data to vegetation shaders.

• Custom shaders and shader code to allow conforming objects to the terrain

• Custom shaders and shader code to allow tinting objects with the terrain's albedo

• Can overload visible distance and shadow distance per object

• Can overload max LOD usage for faster shadow rendering

• Compressed data structures for faster processing and reduced memory usage

• Works with The Vegetation Engine shaders

• Includes it's own shader and stackables for Better Shaders, which supports albedo tint, conforming to the terrain, wind animation, and instancing support.

• Shader graph node for adding indirect instancing support to existing shaders

• Shader patcher to modify external 3rd party shaders

• One menu item selection to convert existing terrains to Foliage Renderer

• All source code included
