I’m making a game with pretty simple graphics (3D), and I would like to have the trees and maybe some smaller plants, sway as if in the wind. I’ve seen a few ways like with shaders, and I just want to know what people think is the best, or most optimized, way to do this and not slow down the game.

Shaders are probably one of the most optimized ways to achieve this. They’re also highly versatile, as you can simulate more realistic wind using shaders compared to premade animations.
