- Support for Single Pass Stereo Rendering

- Ability to pass Height, Normal, and Albedo of terrain, as well as user defined per-terrain data to vegetation shaders.

- Custom shaders and shader code to allow conforming objects to the terrain

- Custom shaders and shader code to allow tinting objects with the terrain's albedo

- Can overload visible distance and shadow distance per object

- Can overload max LOD usage for faster shadow rendering

- Compressed data structures for faster processing and reduced memory usage

- Works with The Vegetation Engine shaders

- Includes it's own shader and stackables for Better Shaders, which supports albedo tint, conforming to the terrain, wind animation, and instancing support.
