Project Summary - The game takes place deep in the forest where you have to use a camera with strange powers to find out what happened to your partner. This project tested my abilty to keep my game performant friendly. This is my first real attempt to achieve realistic rendering in games. I used tree and rock assets with a large number of vertices in a vast forest. I had to create LODs to help keep the number low. I also had to learn the differenc between SRP batching and GPU instancing to see which would work best in this situation. I also learned how to use the occlusion culling system in Unity to help performance as well.
