Camera Culling 

This feature is so important for optimization, basically, it forces the scattering/instancing system to work only on the camera field of view and holes any instances to appearing outside the camera border.

LOD (level of detail) instancing system

This feature is so handy for optimization, you can use it to automatically instance three different variations of the same object depending on the distance from the camera as what follows:

Before you start using the LOD feature, make sure to pick the camera and determine Distance 1 and Distance 2.
LOD 0 will be scattered in the area closer than "distance 1"
LOD 1 will be scattered in the area between "distance 1" and "distance 2"
LOD 3 will be scattered in the area that is farther than "distance 2"

Collision interaction

This feature is simply made to make the instanced field interact with the objects that are moving on it.
Simply add all the objects on grass that you want to be calculated in collisions and select it inside "objects on grass" box inside the panel.

Procedural UV

By using geometry nodes and instancing system side by side with procedural wind animation you are going to lose the original UV, but we got your back Follow these steps to get your UV back:

• Select the node that you want to restore the UV coordinates into.

• Click on the Next UV button that you can find in node category inside the N-panel.

• Link the Original UV to the input in the node.

Wind Factor

The wind direction allows you to control the direction of the animation, you have to rotate the wind direction arrow to update the animation direction.

Patch Note (v2.0.4):

Key Changes and Improvements:

-UV Fix: Resolved the UV mapping issue that caused distortion or incorrect texturing in certain scenarios. With this fix, you can now expect accurate and consistent UV mapping results when using our add-on.

-Bug Fixes: We have addressed other minor bugs and issues reported by our users, ensuring a more stable and reliable performance of the add-on.
