NOTES:

1. If there is an error related to depth image when using the Instanced Grass system, please assign in the depth rendering script (DepthRendererCT_URP) the renderer ID of a renderer that is in the pipeline renderers list and has no image effects assigned. The default is 6 if using my sample pipeline. Example image.
