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. First off: I learned a lot about Unity’s build in batching system. Static batching : combines static (not moving) GameObjects into big Meshes, and renders them in a faster way.

Just set up the probe bounds and do a fast pre-bake of static objects. Still, this workflow is easy and efficient as 3D objects get a second set of UVs generated on import, and baking works with instantiated meshes, scenes and even GridMaps. Both indirect light and voxel reflections are provided by this technique.
