Mesh Batching

[unique gale]

Most likely the sorting order?

[hardy yew]

how do i control sort order?

i tried changing the priority order but it also does not help when it renders meshes

[unique gale]

You control with render queue

on the material

[hardy yew]

does not solve it.. here you can see the first and third meshes render queue is 2450 while the one between them the second one is set to 2000

render queue does work when it comes to rendering materials, but apparently not when it comes to mesh rendering

[unique gale]

I can’t really tell from this image

[hardy yew]

im not sure how to show it as it does not show material render queue in frame debugger

first mesh

Second mesh

thirs mesh

on the right side you can see the material of the selected mesh

and it displays their render queue

[unique gale]

Since it say depth pass is it rendering shadow?

[hardy yew]

so.. if i were to disable meshes from receiving shadows, then it would all batch normally?

[unique gale]

No I think you are looking at the part that it draws shadow

Is it?

[hardy yew]

it says that it draws meshes

[unique gale]

It is shadowcaster

[unique gale]

Look at the ‘Pass’

[hardy yew]

yeah i can see shadow caster

but then what does it mean?

[unique gale]

So it’s the part that draws shadow

Not the mesh itself

The shadow that the mesh makes

[hardy yew]

um alright, so i cannot batch shadows?

shadow casting*

in that case this issue happens not only in shadow casting, but also here

there are only 4 different meshes name the same way default_LOD

but they are both batched and separated between themselves

[unique gale]

That one is probably can be solved with render queue

[hardy yew]

they are all the same queue

and i dont think its practical to give unique render queue for each mesh 😅

[unique gale]

Not each mesh but each material

If you really want them to batch

[hardy yew]

mm so create textureatlas for meshes.. problem is each mesh is 1024 size

and there are quite a lot of meshes

in this situation texture atlas is not the best solution, so im searching a way to order the camera to render meshes in specific order without affecting the render queue
