InfiniGRASS 2021 - The next generation of vegetation optimization and shading.​

Massive draw call reduction and draw distances with shadowing, GPU instancing, Ground adaptation for massive batched models copy around the scene with surface normals respect, Instant get in game, Minimized saved scene size, Batched billboards, 3D Billboard generator, Impostor real time changing shadows with minimal impact in fps that can be viewed at last LOD distance and much more. Also many new brushes with focus on stylized look and new cell shading options.

InfiniGRASS does NOT use Compute shaders, Geometry shaders, Instancing, scripted direct draws, Burst and Jobs, or anything that can be incompatible with several platforms or Unity versions, making it ideal for all platforms and mobile and increased speed over scripted direct draw and instancing methods.

Enjoy the fastest and most advanced & compatible vegetation on Unity Store, InfiniGRASS 2021 is coming soon.

InfiniGRASS is included in the Environment Building Bundle.

This looks incredible

What GPU is used in the videos above ?

 

I use software recording in a 6 years old DELL XPS laptop, with 1050GTX GPU. Also note the stage is far from fully optimized, i have not yet defined LODs with batched billboards etc

For trees i also making a full 3D impostor system for far LODs, with 3D billboard creator and batched also for maximum performance. The batched impostor is much more tricky to get working, but i am 99% there and this kind of impostor will be exponentially faster than anything on store.

Generally the InfiniGRASS batching method is much faster than use of compute shaders, as the information can be instantiated on a batch level, while compute shader have to process each grass blade, which is a massive overkill.

That is why can be so fast with massive detail and draw distances with shadows, even on mobile and old GPUs. Also this method is fully compatible with any hardware and Unity version by default and can be used in endless maps, the map size make no difference in either RAM or HDD usage, or in performance.

Here is a demo to try it on, also post some videos of the latest build above
InfiniGRASS 2021 Fields - Forest Demo (Windows): https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/801363689138815036/1133282773516427287/FIELDS_FOREST1.zip

Use "ctrl" + mouse to rotate sun, Toggle GUI to enable LOD controls for grass (2ond-3rd bars) & Trees (4rth bar) and snow coverage control (1st bar) Press on "Snow and LODs Controls" button to activate the frame rate counter.

 

Sound fantastic, seems will be the perfect replacement for Vegetation Studio.

Will try the demo asap. Thanks for the details.

 

Np, let me know for anything else. I post a latest video above as well, added extra optimized rocks and fences.

Thanks, I just tested the demo and in 2060GTX is flying, looks like a very big boost over Vegetation Studio in performance, which was already rather fast.

When is the release planned ?

 

Hi, i am currently doing one last thing, adding full 3d batched impostors, for far LODs, so hopefully by Setember will be able to do the release with all features planned and all pipelines.

It is very close to finish this also, a baking system renders the brushes from all sides and then can smoothly change the impostor view based on camera view. Also supports normal mapping.

It's 3 years and you haven't released URP version?

 

Hi, the URP version is available in Google Drive for all users of the store asset.

I have decided to not proceed with any official store release on URP versions until the URP pipeline from Unity side is out of Beta, which hopefully will be in the upcoming Unity 6.

The URP is still not yet in Alpha stage, as there is massive changes happening all the time, especially for Unity 2023.3.

That said the URP version is fully working now and has been well refined and finalized for some time and tested in Unity 2021 and 2022.

 

How can I access Google Drive? I bought your Environment Building Bundle.

 

Let me know the invoice or order number of the purchase in a personal message here or Discord or my email and will send the links there.

Also to enter any Beta must have downloaded the store asset once (e.g. the Bundle or InfiniGRASS), not need to install it as the URP is standalone project.

The large brushes use the new ground adapt method of the upcoming InfiniGRASS STUDIO asset. Cycle detail brushes with the Cycle button and large brushes with the 2ond slider. The 1st slider adjusts the size of the larger brushes. Plant terrain button will plant the whole terrain with the current large brush. The lower sliders define the view distances of the various LOD stages.
