Grass Rendering
- Grass Rendering Series
Blog post series talks about theory of grass rendering, how to implement that in Godot, and adding animation, interaction, and LOD
- 2D Grass Rendering with WebGPU Compute Shaders
A full walkthrough of a procedural 2D grass renderer, which treats grass as an image generated by two compute passes each frame. It includes a live browser demo and compute shader source
- Six Grass Rendering Techniques in Unity (2022)
This article surveyed 6 different ways to render grass in Unity: static mesh, geometry + tessellation, procedural rendering + compute, billboarding, unity terrains, and impostors.
- Procedural Grass in 'Ghost of Tsushima' (2021)
A talk discussing how they generate acres of grass within reasonable memory and performance limits, techniques for rendering and animating individual blades, and methods for making thousands of individual blades of grass look like a natural field.
- Responsive Real-Time Grass Rendering for General 3D Scenes (2017)
A paper on real-time grass rendering with realistic physics with the help of compute shader and the hardware-tessellation pipeline
