Provides high-performance mesh instancing.
|

</brief_description>
|
|
<description>
|
|
MultiMesh provides low-level mesh instancing. Drawing thousands of [MeshInstance] nodes can be slow, since each object is submitted to the GPU then drawn individually.
|
|
MultiMesh is much faster as it can draw thousands of instances with a single draw call, resulting in less API overhead.
|
|
As a drawback, if the instances are too far away of each other, performance may be reduced as every single instance will always rendered (they are spatially indexed as one, for the whole object).
|
|
Since instances may have any behavior, the AABB used for visibility must be provided by the user.

<description>
|
|
Sets all data related to the instances in one go. This is especially useful when loading the data from disk or preparing the data from GDNative.
|
|
All data is packed in one large float array. An array may look like this: Transform for instance 1, color data for instance 1, custom data for instance 1, transform for instance 2, color data for instance 2, etc...
|
|
[Transform] is stored as 12 floats, [Transform2D] is stored as 8 floats, [code]COLOR_8BIT[/code] / [code]CUSTOM_DATA_8BIT[/code] is stored as 1 float (4 bytes as is) and [code]COLOR_FLOAT[/code] / [code]CUSTOM_DATA_FLOAT[/code] is stored as 4 floats.

Sets the color of a specific instance by [i]multiplying[/i] the mesh's existing vertex colors.
|
|
For the color to take effect, ensure that [member color_format] is non-[code]null[/code] on the [MultiMesh] and [member SpatialMaterial.vertex_color_use_as_albedo] is [code]true[/code] on the material.

Compress [Color] data into 8 bits when passing to shader. This uses less memory and can be faster, but the [Color] loses precision.

The [Color] passed into [method set_instance_color] will use 4 floats. Use this for highest precision [Color].

<constant name="CUSTOM_DATA_8BIT" value="1" enum="CustomDataFormat">
|
|
Compress custom_data into 8 bits when passing to shader. This uses less memory and can be faster, but loses precision and range. Floats packed into 8 bits can only represent values between 0 and 1, numbers outside that range will be clamped.
