Scriptable Render Pipeline Batcher
How BatchRendererGroup works

BatchRendererGroup

BatchRendererGroup (BRG) is an API for high-performance custom rendering in projects that use a Scriptable Render Pipeline (SRP) and the SRP Batcher.

BRG is the perfect tool to:

  • Render DOTS Entities. For example, Unity’s Hybrid Renderer uses BRG to do this.
  • Render a large number of environment objects where using individual GameObjectsThe fundamental object in Unity scenes, which can represent characters, props, scenery, cameras, waypoints, and more. A GameObject’s functionality is defined by the Components attached to it. More info

    would be too resource-intensive. For example, procedurally-placed plants or rocks.
  • Render custom terrainThe landscape in your scene. A Terrain GameObject adds a large flat plane to your scene and you can use the Terrain’s Inspector window to create a detailed landscape. More info

    patches. You can use different meshes or materials to display different levels of detail.
