ABSOLUTE MAGIC!!! That opening statement perfectly clarifies the whole concept that I've never understood before. You are a blessing to our community!

We are back to 2000's, optimizing is coming back

the issue i see with this is that overdraw is also a performance problem and it would be better to use the same atlas texture with 6 actual quads. that would also allow creating stuff like that folding table with angled planes for the legs, and since for modern gpus triangles are cheap but shaders and overdraw are expensive (relative to older gpus with overall performance scaled), have a cutout in the middle and use a few for each box leg thing.

Beautiful

Just watched your Blender conference talk and went through the internets looking for you, you beautiful person you!

This is some crazy voodoo magic.

any plans for unreal support?

I watched your Blender conference, and I just want to say that overall, it's AMAZING!!! Beside that, making it work for Unity and Godot is absolutely SUPER!!! Keep going !!!

Thank you for your contributions my dude , lenny thanks you!

I saw your Blender presentation then hunted down your profile to subscribe. This is awesome!

I built this algorithm brick by brick. But seriously, good job. Would have been nice to see a performance comparison.

Great stuff, Tom. I can see this being really useful in some of my supermarket previs work.

Great job on your presentation at the Blender Conference, your addon looks awesome, I will be definitely trying it out for my Godot projects, can't wait to see what you do next!

an incredible mog

Yay! Love it, will have to try this :face-blue-smiling:

Cool cool, thanks for sharing 👍🏾

Great blender presentation

So fascinating! Really love this. I was even going to ask how this could be used in a game, and you answered it right afterward! 😄 Great work.

Could this work with particle systems, including an animated flipbook? Something like a round smoke puff or simple mesh shapes? (debris, leaves, rocks etc)

I don't get it.
