Tasty Grass Shader is a general-purpose procedural grass, flowers and clutter framework. It is compatible with all meshes and the Unity Terrain System. Leveraging modern graphics techniques such as Compute Shaders and Indirect Draw, it is very efficient at rendering hundreds of thousands of blades, often under one millisecond on a modern mid-range GPU.
