== Volumetric grass effect == | |||
A new volumetric grass effect has been added to the Atmospheric Light Scattering (ALS) rendering framework using a technique known as [http://people.csail.mit.edu/ericchan/bib/pdf/p227-lengyel.pdf shell texturing]. The effect requires geometry shaders, which are known to be problematic on integrated Intel GPUs. | |||

This effect can also be combined with the previous volumetric grass technique based on instancing, as demonstrated by forum user wlbragg. | |||
