    How feasible is putting a small demo together in the current state of DOTS to push on VFX quality hair rendering. Im more interested in the amount of data not the shading aspect. Im also looking into USD to Enities

    Any thoughts

    It is slightly more feasible than doing it in C++, and you also don't have to worry about graphics plumbing as you can just give a NativeArray to a ComputeBuffer.

    Just saw this demo, good to see what is possible. Still hoping DOTS tackle some of these challenges at some point
