DrawMeshInstancedIndirect ON
To demonstrate DrawMeshInstancedIndirect API on mobile devices.
- can draw 50,000 instances on almost any mobile GPU(e.g. adreno506) within 5ms, performance mainly affected by visible grass count on screen
- can draw 1,000,000 instances on 2018/2019 flagship mobile GPU (adreno630) within 8ms, performance mainly affected by visible grass count on screen
if you want to try the pre-built .apk, your android device must support Opengles3.2 / Vulkan
2019.4.3f1
This is a simplified example project to demonstrate DrawMeshInstancedIndirect API on mobile platform.
Does not contain any compute GPU culling and Acceleration Algorithms. It is as simple as possible, just 1 DrawMeshInstancedIndirect call, nothing else.
Lighting and animation is not the main focus of this project, but >50% of the time was spent on writing grass shader's lighting & animation, you can have a look at InstancedIndirectGrass.shader if you are interested.
This project also contains a RendererFeature(GrassBendingRTPrePass.cs) to render an offscreen RT(R8), which renders top down view grass bending area (by trail renderer following moving objects), it is a very simple method but the result is good enough for this demo.
