• Color blending with terrain surface (supports tiled setups and mesh terrains)

• Per object and per vertex color variation, breaks up visual repetition

• Sun light translucency rendering

• Perspective correction, for optimal coverage when viewed from top-down

• Near/far camera fading

⚙️ Technical

• SRP Batching compatible

• Physically-based or simple shading mode (similar to the Lit and Simple Lit shaders)

• Bending functionality does not use a 2nd camera! Best in class performance! (No overhead for additional culling and batching)
