Instancing is used to render similar objects (mesh, material and misc settings), reducing the pressure over the rendering API. There are special versions of meshes to render when doing shadow maps or depth pre-pass. Re-written most shaders to reduce VGPR usage, thus improve occupancy. A set of benchmarks was created at : [link].

While we offer a default particles material (which is very powerful and customizable), it is possible to write your own particle logic entirely in a shader. It is also possible to convert a particle system to a shader and do further modifications to it by yourself, manually. More power. are implemented.

Mainly I focused on generating grass that bends in the wind and some fern like plants, but what comes next is usable for all kind of meshes. Batching means to combine mesh objects that share the same material or that are marked as static in the Unity inspector. In my case I had terrible FPS with just some thousand mesh instances.

In order to deform the mesh according to the bone transforms, each vertex (generally "point of a triangle") can be influenced by up to 4 bones. The actual deformation usually happens in the vertex shader , where the bone transforms get looked up from a texture. (In added TIME uniform to all "scriptable" shaders.

But 3D games are usually stuck with a certain 3D model for a character and deforming the mesh is a pain to do. We've had toon shaders for years that can make 3D look like 2D, but Team Red has perfected it to such a degree that I sometimes can't even tell I'm looking at 3D. The lighting and shading is also incredible.
