While StaticGeometry stores 500 times the same object in a batch to display 500 objects, this shader instancing implementation stores only 80 times the object, and then re-uses the vertex data with different shader parameter. Although you save memory, you make more draw call. However, you still make less draw calls than if you were rendering each object independently. Plus, you can move the batched objects independently of one another which you cannot do with StaticGeometry. @par Therefore it is important when you are rendering a lot of geometry to batch things up into as few rendering calls as possible. This class allows you to build a batched object from a series of entities in order to benefit from this behaviour. Batching has implications of it's own though: @li Batched geometry cannot be subdivided; that means that the whole group will be displayed, or none of it will. This obivously has culling issues. @li A single material must apply for each batch. In fact this class allows you to use multiple materials, but you should be aware that internally this means that there is one batch per material. Therefore you won't gain as much benefit from the batching if you use many different materials; try to keep the number down. @par The bounding box information is computed with object position only. It doesn't take account of the object orientation. @par The LOD settings of both the Mesh and the Materials used in constructing this instanced geometry will be respected. This means that if you use meshes/materials which have LOD, batches in the distance will have a lower polygon count or material detail to those in the foreground. Since each mesh might have different LOD distances, during build the furthest distance at each LOD level from all meshes in that BatchInstance is used. This means all the LOD levels change at the same time, but at the furthest distance of any of them (so quality is not degraded). Be aware that using Mesh LOD in this class will further increase the memory required. Only generated LOD is supported for meshes. @par There are 2 ways you can add geometry to this class; you can add Entity objects directly with predetermined positions, scales and orientations, or you can add an entire SceneNode and it's subtree, including all the objects attached to it. Once you've added everything you need to, you have to call build() the fix the geometry in place. @par You should not construct instances of this class directly; instead, call SceneManager::createInstancedGeometry, which gives the SceneManager the option of providing you with a specialised version of this class if it wishes, and also handles the memory management for you like other classes. @note Warning: this class only works with indexed triangle lists at the moment, do not pass it triangle strips, fans or lines / points, or unindexed geometry. */ class _OgreExport InstancedGeometry : public BatchedGeometryAlloc { public: /** Struct holding geometry optimised per SubMesh / LOD level, ready for copying to instances. @remarks Since we're going to be duplicating geometry lots of times, it's far more important that we don't have redundant vertex data.
