BBMOD_StaticBatch DEPRECATED

A constructor defined in BBMOD_StaticBatch.gml

new BBMOD_StaticBatch(_vformat)

Description

A static batch is a structure that allows you to compose static models into a single one. Compared to BBMOD_Model.submit, this drastically reduces draw calls and increases performance, but requires more memory. Current limitation is that the added models must use the same single material.

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
_vformat	`Struct.BBMOD_VertexFormat`	The vertex format of the static batch. All models added to the same static batch must have the same vertex format. This vertex format must not contain bone data!

Methods

Name	Description
add	Adds a model to the static batch.
destroy	Frees memory used by the struct.
finish	Ends adding models into the static batch.
freeze	Freezes the static batch. This makes it render faster, but disables adding more models.
render	Enqueues the static batch for rendering.
start	Begins adding models into the static batch.
submit	Immediately submits the static batch for rendering.

Example

modTree = new BBMOD_Model("Tree.bbmod");
var _vformat = modTree.get_vertex_format();
batch = new BBMOD_StaticBatch(_vformat);
batch.start();
with (OTree)
{
   var _transform = matrix_build(x, y, z, 0, 0, direction, 1, 1, 1);
   other.batch.add(other.modTree, _transform);
}
batch.finish();
batch.freeze();
