Upgrade guide to version 2.x

Version 2 of the shader introduces some breaking changes, this guide tries to make the necessary changes as easy as possible.

Upgrade the grass objects

Repeat these steps for each of your grass objects:

Delete your grass object, but remember the settings of its renderer.
Select your floor object
Add Component: Stix Games > General > Nature Mesh Filter
Add Component: Stix Games > General > Grass Renderer
Select your grass material in the Grass Renderers Material Field
Configure the grass renderer to match the settings of your old renderer
Optional: Add grass fallback for unsupported hardware or low-end devices.

Upgrade the interaction system

The interaction system (former displacement system) is now more powerful and more straight forward to use, however, the performance cost has increased. Look at the performance optimization information for help at solving this problem once you've finished this problem.

Upgrade the interaction camera

Rename your displacement camera to interaction camera (just for consistency)
Look at the scripts attached to the camera. If the Render Texture Displacement script was automatically replaced, skip the next step, otherwise:
Delete any missing scripts, then Add Component: Stix Games > Interaction > Render Texture Interaction

Upgrade all interaction objects

For each interaction object:

Add Component to the new object: Stix Games > Interaction > Interaction Object
Disable the mesh renderer, but don't delete it, it is used to store the material. You can enable the mesh renderer for debugging your interaction object.

The objects layer doesn't affect the grass interaction anymore.

Upgrade trail renderer

If the script wasn't replaced automatically, simply replace the old displacement trail renderer with the new interaction trail renderer.
