MicroSplat is unbelievably fast, often several times faster than competing shaders with the same feature set turned on, and is optimized for both high end and low end hardware. MicroSplat uses a unique shader generation system, so all features compile out and have no cost when not in use, and only the features you want need to be purchased. Note that MicroSplat is not a subset of MegaSplat- a comparison of the two products is available at
MicroSplat requires support for Texture Arrays, which are not available in OpenGLES 2.0, DirectX9 or WebGL 1.0.
