    I suppose I have tried too many game engines in my day, I would have sworn this was an option in Unity.
    I want my Grass Billboards to be an X (or +) vs. a single Plane. No clue what that is called. But, the top left of the scene is what I want vs. the scene with the flat planes.

    Know what this is called?
    Is it a Unity feature? (Or was it removed, or never existed?)

    Thank you in advance.

    24 Hour bump. More examples of what I want to accomplish. (Instead of 1 plane billboard grass, I want 2, 4, 6, etc. )

    Unity doesn't do that right out of the box. However, you can turn off "billboards" on the grass texture, and it will add them at random angles. You can use meshes as grass as an alternative, but to be honest, that's kind of wonky and I can never get it to work right.
