Indirect GPU instancing & painting with occlusion culling, frustum culling, and LODs in Unity

This Project is undergoing a large refactor.

This project is built off of elliomans indirect rendering with compute shaders. https://github.com/ellioman/Indirect-Rendering-With-Compute-Shaders

What is different in this version?

• gpu bitonic sorting is now no longer reliant on powers of two (thanks to EmmetOT - https://github.com/EmmetOT/BufferSorter)
• improved user interface
• instances can now be painted into the scene, much like unitys terrain detail system
• amplify shader editor examples
• wind shader example

Features

• BIRP support (included in this repo (occlusion culling not setup yet))
• URP support (soon)
• HDRP support (https://github.com/Milk-Drinker01/Milk_Instancer_HDRP)
• instance density control
• paint prefabs on any object
• multiple prefab support
• per-instance occlusion culling
• frustum culling
• up to 3 LODs
• Amplify Shader Editor examples
• ShaderGraph examples
• wind shader example (ASE and SG)
• Multi-Material Prefab support (for things like trees)
• world streaming/detail zones
• VR: supports both multi pass and Single Pass Instanced

What am I still working on?

• Render Pipeline Consolidation
• built in renderer occlusion culling
• URP support
• more spawning methods, perhaps procedural terrain spawning

Project info:

• created on unity 2021.3.1f1 (tested as low as 2020.3)
