Draw call optimizer, first version done.



Anyone want to convert this into GameGuru ? , let me know and i sent you the AGK source code

yes please, preben, draw call optimiser very much needed for trees etc in GG, great work.

Is this available in GameGuru now?

awesome!

awesome news
how does it handle each load of the map? the same loading time or does/can it save the merged object data after the first time?

Read close guys ,
He's asking if someone wants to take the code and convert it for use in Game Guru ...I think...

Yep,its for GG loader, not GG

This is pretty fantastic, I can see it being very useful if made to be used in GG. Nice work Preben.

Yes this was only made for GameGuru Loader at the moment , i have some work load currently thats why i asked if someone else would try to convert it , but if not i will have a look at converting it when i get some time



There is added load time , but it also have a "mesh cache" where the optimized meshes (memblocks) can be stored so it dont have to process them but just load them, but sure that will also give a little extra load time , a normal level that dont have thousand and thousand of object convert in around 7 second , and a "little" faster if you use the mesh cache. So its not that bad for the extra speed.

Where's BOTR when we need him? hint hint

Yeah so this is pretty special. This guy really needs to be one of the people updating the master branch.

60 FPS after optimising and grouping the meshes is very impressive. In terms of the extra load times I agree its not much when you consider what it does for game performance. I just hope it can be built into the level loading screen so its clean for the end user.

Also if this create memblocks and stores them does that mean it could impact the memory issues GG already has or does it help memory?

LOL I think he is Team leader Preben was the first collaborator he's a very clever chap

Lol, you are doing in code what I did manually to get my last project real smooth in GG. Took me a couple months at least of many hours in Blender at the time. I'm surprised that the code seems so small (in the video) to merge the objects. Looks a good addition to GG loader

Thaks



Yes its just one function ( line ) you need to optimize all object like "tree1.x" , but the function behind that are large , but you dont need to look at that code

OHHHHHHHHHHH

I just think it'd be fantastic if we could have a Draw call optimizer in Game Guru.. Unity and Unreal have this capacity., and it is incredibly effective.. I would say even.. essential.
