Batch meshes with same material

[MrPage]

Hello. Recently I've decided to move my project from Unity to Babylon, but I met several problems, one of which - mesh batching. Unity have feature called "dynamic batching", which can greatly reduce draw calls. It's automatically merge all meshes with the same material into one, and draw it in single DC (with some nuances). Does Babylon have some similar abilities?

Thanks, and sorry for my English

Check create instance in docks should do what you want, it reuses geometry and material (you can still change position/scale/rotation)

Hello. Thanks for your suggestion. But when I create for example, 10 meshes and 10 instances for each it still draw each base mesh in particular draw call, although this base meshes share the same material.

Yes real meshes don't have any share out of box, only clones and instances.

@MrPage hi and welcome to the forum. Babylon.js has several methods to achieve what you want and more.

Merge Meshes  meshes must have same material https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#J5ACF1

Instances meshes must have same material https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#J5ACF1#1

Cloned meshes can have different materials but share geometry https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#J5ACF1#2

Solid Particle System  a single mesh formed from one base mesh repeated many times  with shared material (but different colors) https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#WCDZS#7 and now a single mesh formed from two different meshes repeated many times with shared material (but different colors) https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#WCDZS#2
