问题
I am trying to develop a game where I am rendering up to 300 cubes on screen. The performance of modelBatch when creating new modelInstance for each cube is terrible. There is no 3d batch that batches all the cubes to one draw call as far as I know. So I am desperately trying to batch them somehow.
This question is directly related to this one: LibGDX 3D increase perfomance
The answer posted batches all the cubes successfully but when environment is added to get some lighting it appears that the cubes have missing sides or something else is wrong with them.
Heres a picture:
Here is my cube class (pretty much copied from answer above)
public class Cube {

for (int i=0; i<numCubes; i++){
mpb.box(1, 1, 1);
}
Model model = mb.end();
mBatchedCubesModelInstance = new ModelInstance(model);
mBatchedCubesMesh = model.meshes.get(0);

int vertexFloatSize = vertexAttributes .vertexSize / 4; //4 bytes per float

int cubeNum = 0;
for (int x = 0; x < width; x++) {
for (int y = 0; y < height; y++) {
for (int z = 0; z < length; z++) {
mBatchedCubes.add(new Cube((x-(width/2f))*1.5f, -((y-(height/2f)) * 1.5f), -(z-(length/2f))*1.5f, 1,1,1, cubeNum++, vertexAttributes, mBatchedCubesVertices ).setColor(Colors.getMixedColor()));
}
}
}
}
public void render(ModelBatch batch, Environment environment){
for (Cube cube : mBatchedCubes){ //must update any changed cubes.
cube.update();
}
mBatchedCubesMesh.setVertices(mBatchedCubesVertices); //apply changes to mesh

else batch.render(this.mBatchedCubesModelInstance);
}
}
The cubes don't even move in my game so I don't even need the transformation. I just need to set the colors (including alpha channel) every frame. The batched mesh should work with libgdx shadow mapping also (I hope it automatically works when you have a properly batched modelInstance).
Could anyone tell me what is wrong with my code and why some faces don't show up. I understand I might be asking much so I will put a bounty on this question (50 points) after two days.
EDIT: After the answer from Tenfour04 things got a lot better. Alpha channel seems to work, strange face problem seems to have disappeared. However When I applied the changes to my real game I noticed that sometimes flour draws on top of in game terrain. I updated the test to illustrate the problem by adding big plane in the middle of cubes. Made a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQhSMJfuyZY.
I would also like to clarify that I am not using any custom shader. Using only ModelBatch.begin() and .end() methods with no additional openGl calls.
回答1:
I see a couple problems:
You have blending off and/or your shader isn't setting the alpha value
You aren't culling back faces.
So when you create your new material, instead of just using new Material()
, use:
new Material(
IntAttribute.createCullFace(GL20.GL_FRONT),//For some reason, libgdx ModelBuilder makes boxes with faces wound in reverse, so cull FRONT
new BlendingAttribute(1f), //opaque since multiplied by vertex color
new DepthTestAttribute(false), //don't want depth mask or rear cubes might not show through
ColorAttribute.createDiffuse(Color.WHITE) //white since multiplied by vertex color
);
You will also need to sort the cubes by distance from camera to get their alphas to layer correctly. Here's an updated Cube class that supports sorting. It has to be able to track color independently from the vertices array in case its index changes:
public class Cube implements Comparable<Cube>{
private int index;

private boolean transformDirty = false;
private boolean colorDirty = false;

And you would sort it like this:
for (Cube cube : mBatchedCubes){
cube.updateCameraDistance(camera);
}
mBatchedCubes.sort();
int index = 0;
for (Cube cube : mBatchedCubes){
cube.setIndex(index++);
}
