jMonkey optimization similar to Java3D's

Question

Edit: For having real-time drawing, started using lwjgl which is base of jmonkeyengine and jocl in an \"interoperability\" between opengl and opencl, now can calculate a

Answer 1

So sorry....

You can batch all Geometries in a scene (or a subnode) that remains static.

Batching means that all Geometries with the same Material are combined into one mesh. This optimization only has an effect if you use only few (roughly up to 32) Materials total. The pay-off is that batching takes extra time when the game is initialized

The change in triangles therefore is because they have been all assembled into one mesh.... The only suggestion if this is necessary, is trying to get the mesh and altering points on it, but at that point I don't think it makes sense.

Perhaps try a different optimization method.

Good luck, haven't used JMonkey in a bit, but glad to see others do and its continued growth!

EDIT

BTW, a way to minimize the math might be to use half a sphere of cubes, an impact on the earth likely wouldn't affect the other side (unless the sphere isn't the earth but already a small sample of the earth taken as a sphere)...

Perhaps try a 2d shape as the impact surface, though I know this won't be your best choice, it might give you an idea of how the number of shapes might have an affect and how grand. If it does then an avenue might be to consider how to remove some of the particles, if it doesn't you need not worry. I am almost sure it will.

Finally:

Perhaps don't render in real time? Take a minute to draw the frames to a buffer then play, by the time your playing you will have another 40 or so frames etc... and maybe approx 30 secs worth is all you will need.

Answer 2

There is a pretty solid set of documentation within the JMonkeyEngine wiki which talks quite a bit about how to utilize the transformations you are referring to, which can be found here: Advanced Spatial Concepts.

In addition, there is quite a bit of information regarding the meshes and their rendering which you can view here: Polygon Meshes.
