Overview

Useful links, guides and information on using Flora.

Flora lets you render large numbers of objects as instances (drawn from shared prefab data instead of one full GameObject rendering path per item). It is designed for terrain foliage, container and instance-renderer workflows, converted scene prefabs, and runtime-spawned populations.

If you are new to BRG/instancing, follow this order:

1. Getting Started

2. Samples

3. Scripts

4. Rendering

Common

• Render terrain trees/details with Flora: Terrain Provider

• Render instances without Unity Terrain: Instance Container, Instance Renderer, Container Samples

• Convert existing prefab objects: Conversion

• Spawn and control instances in code: System

• Tune visibility/performance: Render Settings, Density Settings, Culling Pipeline

• Inspect rendering data: Rendering Inspector, Debugging

Concepts

• BRG (Batch Renderer Group): Unity GPU-driven rendering path Flora uses for scalable draw submission.

• Instance Container: a serialized list of instance transforms for large static/semi-static sets.

• Volume Override: scene regions that override render/density settings.

Samples

• Tree Wrecking Ball

• Tree Effect

• Fish Boids

• Container Mesh Sample

• Container Prefab Sample
