How did we improve performance of 500 animated skeletal meshes from 70 to 132fps? A thread🧵👇 #flaxengine #gamedev #indiedev #madewithflax

I wanted to see how many anims I could play in @FlaxEngine . This is 500 skeletal meshes, playing one animation on loop at 70 FPS. The Flax dev wasn't happy that it was only 70. He fixed some perf problems in the engine. Now it is 132. Others in thread #gamedevelopment #indiedev

@FlaxEngine Here is #GodotEngine 's and #UnrealEngine 's. 23 and 28 respectively. Same skeletal mesh in all. I didn't bother setting up the material in Godot though. And yes, all 3 of these were in-editor performance. I know those are bleh for perf tests - but this is still wild.

Then we removed those batches sorting in opaque geometry pass! Draw calls are sorted beforehand with Radix Sort so they can be rendered without an additional sort pass (depth buffer ensures pixel order is stable). Sorting time went down to 1ms which is 20x faster!

Static lights will cache static geometry into an intermediate shadow map. Then when updating the shadow, a cached shadow is copied and only dynamic objects are drawn. This drastically improves GPU and CPU performance in complex scenes.

Draw calls are sorted by depth/material/etc and then batched together for hardware instancing. It turned out that the slow part is Quick Sort algorithm which sorts output batches. Not so *quick* to me!
