Performance info – System Material – MeshDepthMaterial – 14.8ms

Hi!

When printing the performance info I get the following as the most expensive material to render:

System Material - MeshDepthMaterial - 14.8ms

It is many times slower than any other material. The next material down has a rendering time of 1.1 ms.

My question is: What is this really?

I found this link to Verge3D documentation which is very similar to the ThreeJS documentation. However, I still don’t understand what to change in my scene to improve this.

One test I did was to use the code snippet given here, to change all materials to basic ones.

v3d.apps[0].scene.traverse(function(obj) {
    obj.material = new v3d.MeshBasicMaterial({
        color: new v3d.Color(Math.random(), Math.random(), Math.random())
    });
});

The MeshDepthMaterial is still taking very long to render (similar time if not longer).

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Adam
