Ever wanted to add grass to your game? There are many ways of implementing grass in Unity, and while one technique could be great at one thing, it might suck at another. In this video, I'll go over six grass rendering methods and explore what makes each one great in certain situations.
Made with Unity 2021.3.0f1 and URP 12.1.6.
