Update 4: A new parameter "Interaction Smoothness" for more natural grass interaction and improved wind effects on grass bushes.
Update 3: Wind Breeze and Wind Gusts speeds can now be controlled through Material Collection
Update 2: New version is now available. I've reworked the wind system from scratch, improve performance and adding interaction system and many more variation features. The old material is still included if you want to use it.
Update 1: Added a new optimized version of the grass. You can find the new grass in the 'OptimizedGrass' folder, and a new map demonstrates its usage. That new map is also included in the demos
