How did we obtain these results?
Grassparty-BE is built on a proven technique called 'griding' some may know
this by 'portaling'. We take only a few mesh entites and transform them into thousands
and thousands of instances. We then 'portal' the instances around the 3d-map based
on grid structuring. This result is ultra fast processing at the core level which leaves the cpu and gpu free for other tasks.
Features
* Ultra fast, ultra optimized core code
* Create litterally millions of grass entities per map
* Grass is transformed by wind, collision and user settings
* Engine handles 3D sound emissions per entity
* Collision responses include: carve, wave, flatten
* Control each and every grass entity individually
* Assign custom variables to each entity, alpha, color, blend etc.
* Engine co-resides with other 'party' products
* PNG alpha blend transperencies used for smoother masking
* Alpha layers sorted for proper viewing order
* Ability to save and load grass maps after creation
* Add your own grass skins or grass mesh to the library
* Support and lifetime of updates
