Xeno Series and Darkline series materials are both a lightweight and highly optimized vertex shader. This material gives you many settings like MPC, Noise movements on branches, scaling, rotating, bulge waves, thickness, pulse, opacity, emission, hue and more. All features use 4 type-mixable masks by growth, by length, by line, and by segment. Even using and combining all of these features, Xeno and darkline materials still remains a lightweight and green color in in shader complexity view.
