Additional Renderer Settings

Provides additional rendering options for Flora on a per-prefab basis.

Attach this component to a prefab to add per-prefab caps for distance, shadows, and density participation.

Properties

AdditionalPerInstanceData

• Allocates optional per-instance shader data for this prefab.

  • RandomID exposes a stable per-instance random value as flora_RandomID or the Shader Graph InstanceRandomID node.

  • VariationColor exposes a per-instance color as flora_VariationColor or the Shader Graph InstanceVariationColor node.

• Enable only the data your shaders need; each enabled flag increases per-instance data.

• See Shaders and Materials for shader setup.

InitialVariationColor

• Initial value for VariationColor instances.

• Ignored unless AdditionalPerInstanceData includes VariationColor.

• Individual instances can override it at runtime with FloraSystem.SetInstanceVariationColor(...) or SetInstanceVariationColors(...).

MaxRenderDistance

• Adds a per-prefab maximum render distance cap.

  • 0 — Prefab cap disabled.

  • Non-zero — Combined with other active caps; the smallest non-zero cap wins.

MaxShadowDistance

• Adds a per-prefab maximum shadow distance cap.

  • 0 — Prefab cap disabled.

  • Non-zero — Combined with other active caps; the smallest non-zero cap wins.

MinShadowLOD

• Sets the lowest LOD index allowed for rendering shadows.

  • 0 — Highest detail.

  • Higher values reduce shadow fidelity to improve performance.

AffectedByGlobalDensity

• If enabled, instances can be culled based on the current Global Density.

AffectedByRangeDensity

• If enabled, instances can be culled based on Range Density values in the scene.

AffectedByMinimumScreenSize

• If enabled, instances can be culled by MinScreenSize.

• Disable this for prefabs that should ignore minimum screen-size culling even when the active Render Settings enable it.

RequiresPerInstanceRandomID (Obsolete)

• Migrated to AdditionalPerInstanceData.RandomID.

• Kept for older serialized assets only.
