The Advanced Foliage Interaction System is a shader-based foliage interaction system. Using the Pivot Painter 2 tools and custom functions, the system fakes physically accurate collisions with grass and plants using Vertex Animation. The system comes with 3 Foliage Archetypes (Short Grass, Tall Grass, and Advanced Hierarchical Plant) and 6 example Foliage Types.
