Godot 3.1 - Vegetation Plugin - Overview and Tutorial - Devlog #1

In this video I have made an overview of the current state of my vegetation plugin for Godot 3.1. It is still in an early stage of work. Nevertheless, a lot of things are already working. Currently, the plugin supports customizable 3 levels of detail, density, shadows, height offsets, dynamic scaling, hue variation settings and basic frustum culling. Support for LOD using godots particles was the biggest challenge . Multimesh is also partly supported, but there are stutters and a need to change every shader used in meshes (y offset due to heighmap usage). For now there is only one brush: Shift + scroll mouse = change size of the brush left mouse click + drag = draw to a vegetation layer ctr + left mouse click + drag = remove from a vegetation layer The performance is ok, but could be better. Scene from the overview usualy gives 70+ FPS on GTX970 with, MSAA 4x and 1080p (highly depends on current position). There are still many bugs. If you want to help, please let me now in the comments. I am an embedded software engineer, so graphics is new to me. If you have any suggestions, feel free to share them. I will publish the source code for everyone when the plugin will be a bit more stable. For now it's a little bit dangerous to use :) I hope you like it!
