most mecha rigging were based on separate mesh parts, not a mecha as a single mesh
It doesn’t matter. When (and if) you understand how to bind vertex groups to bones you will be able to do it with any mesh.
I’ll try this, but using “with empty groups” under “Armature deform” instead of “automatic weights” as per this screenshot
Or maybe I’ll try this instead
The more vertices, the more video memory consumption. One mesh – one geometry buffer. One mesh, visible on the screen – one render/draw call (provided post-processing is not used). Meshes that are out of the camera’s field of view are not rendered.
Thanks kdv, that was an informative answer.
Any light source casting shadows will double the amount of render calls. Most of post-processing passes will also double the amount of render calls.
What do you mean, post-processing passes?
Hi c4cc,
Using vertex colors instead of textures can save you video memory, make the app load faster, and improve performance somewhat. Check out this optimization advice for further details.
I agree with this. But what about vertex colors vs materials? Which improves app performance, especially memory?
