Reducing Lag due to Large Particle Systems and Trees
In my game, I have a significant number of trees just painted onto the terrain so as to create the semblance of a forest. This usually causes my computer to lag whenever the trees are in sight. In another scene, I am trying to simulate a snow storm, which I feel I can only achieve using a large particle system. This gives my computer major lag. My computer is not old or anything, it is just a lot to render, but I don't know how to go about this any other way.
Does anyone know a way of reducing the lag while retaining the size and quantity of objects I desire?
I think some more information on the particle systems and trees would be nice - for example, are the trees just sprites or meshes, or are they the StandardAsset trees? $$anonymous$$aybe reduction of sprite resolution or mesh polycount could do it.
The trees and particle systems are standard assets. The particle system is a dust storm.
as @baci suggested. If you want to keep the size and quantity of objects, you reduce the quality.

you can decrease the clipping plane in main camera object. This will lower total objects rendered and increase speed.
