Overview

What is BRG Instanced Renderer?

BRG Instanced Renderer is the best way to optimize rendering in your project. Render massive amounts of instances with minimal draw calls, and stream millions of instances to the system with zero hitching. BRG Instanced Renderer also runs in the editor outside of play mode, for rapid editor speed and iteration times.

On top of exceptional performance, you can expect a true "works right out of the box" setup, as the renderer will work with zero modifications to your shaders, due to using the Batch Renderer Group variants that Unity automatically creates for all SRP shaders.

Ultimate Performance

Thanks to the latest Batch Renderer Group API, BRG Instanced Renderer is the fastest GPU instancer on the market. Everything is designed to run on the GPU via compute shaders.

  • Innovative instance pooling and chunk system
    • Allows for hierarchical culling
    • Allows for hitchless streaming of instances
  • Culling on 3 levels:
    • Hierarchical occlusion culling
    • Hierarchical frustum culling
    • Per-instance frustum and distance culling
  • Compute shader shadow cascade culling
  • Compute shader LOD selection
  • Custom-built terrain detail spawning system allows for spawning and streaming millions of instances with zero frame hitches, using C# Jobs and Burst Compiler
  • Zero hotpath garbage
  • Optional features to optimize shadow rendering:
    • Slider to clamp the maximum shadow cascade per-prefab, great for optimizing shadow rendering on details
    • Option to set the minimum shadow LOD per-prefab to render shadows with fewer polygons
    • Limit maximum shadow distance per-prefab
  • Dynamic density, with 2 control modes:
    • Screen-size based
    • Start/end distance based
