# Geometry Merging
|
|
|
|
## 매 한 줄
|
|
> **"매 여러 mesh 를 매 단일 vertex/index buffer 로 합쳐 매 draw call 수를 매 줄이는 기법"**. CPU-GPU command overhead 의 매 frame budget 의 매 dominant share 였던 시대의 매 staple optimization. 매 modern era — GPU instancing, indirect draw, mesh shader 가 매 알 수 있게 대체했지만 매 static scene, mobile, low-end 에서 매 still relevant.
|
|
|
|
## 매 핵심
|
|
|
|
### 매 종류
|
|
- **Static batching**: build-time 에 같은 material 의 static mesh 합침.
|
|
- **Dynamic batching**: runtime 에 small mesh 를 transform & merge (CPU cost ↑).
|
|
- **GPU instancing**: 같은 mesh 여러 transform — merging 의 modern 대체.
|
|
- **Mesh atlas (texture array)**: material 통합으로 merge 가능 범위 확장.
|
|
|
|
### 매 trade-off
|
|
- ↑ Throughput (fewer draw call).
|
|
- ↓ Culling 정확도 (merged AABB 가 매 커짐).
|
|
- ↑ Memory (per-vertex data 의 매 duplication).
|
|
- ↓ Animation flexibility (static 한정).
|
|
|
|
### 매 응용
|
|
1. Mobile 게임 — draw call 의 매 hard limit (~100-200).
|
|
2. Architectural visualization — 매 thousands of small props.
|
|
3. Tile-based world streaming.
|
|
4. UI batching (text glyph atlas).
|
|
|
|
## 💻 패턴
|
|
|
|
### Manual merge (Three.js)
|
|
```javascript
|
|
import { mergeGeometries } from 'three/examples/jsm/utils/BufferGeometryUtils.js';
|
|
const geos = props.map(p => p.geometry.clone().applyMatrix4(p.matrixWorld));
|
|
const merged = mergeGeometries(geos, false);
|
|
const mesh = new THREE.Mesh(merged, sharedMaterial);
|
|
scene.add(mesh);
|
|
// 1000 draw calls → 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Unity static batching
|
|
```csharp
|
|
// Mark objects as static in Inspector → Unity merges at build time.
|
|
// Or runtime:
|
|
StaticBatchingUtility.Combine(rootGameObject);
|
|
// Caveat: combined mesh 64k vertex 한도 (16-bit index).
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### GPU instancing (preferred over merge)
|
|
```glsl
|
|
// vertex shader (Unity URP)
|
|
struct Attributes {
|
|
float3 positionOS : POSITION;
|
|
UNITY_VERTEX_INPUT_INSTANCE_ID
|
|
};
|
|
UNITY_INSTANCING_BUFFER_START(Props)
|
|
UNITY_DEFINE_INSTANCED_PROP(float4, _Color)
|
|
UNITY_INSTANCING_BUFFER_END(Props)
|
|
|
|
Varyings vert(Attributes IN) {
|
|
UNITY_SETUP_INSTANCE_ID(IN);
|
|
// ...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Texture atlas (enable merging across materials)
|
|
```python
|
|
# Bake separate textures into one atlas → assign UV remap.
|
|
import numpy as np
|
|
atlas = np.zeros((2048, 2048, 4), np.uint8)
|
|
uv_remap = {}
|
|
for i, tex in enumerate(textures):
|
|
x, y = (i % 8) * 256, (i // 8) * 256
|
|
atlas[y:y+256, x:x+256] = tex
|
|
uv_remap[i] = (x/2048, y/2048, 256/2048, 256/2048)
|
|
# Then rewrite mesh UVs per material id.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Multi-draw indirect (modern alt)
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// Instead of merging, keep mesh separate but submit via single indirect call.
|
|
struct DrawCmd { uint32_t indexCount, instanceCount, firstIndex, vertexOffset, firstInstance; };
|
|
std::vector<DrawCmd> cmds; // one per visible mesh
|
|
glMultiDrawElementsIndirect(GL_TRIANGLES, GL_UNSIGNED_INT, cmds.data(), cmds.size(), 0);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Hierarchical merge (octree)
|
|
```python
|
|
def merge_octree(node):
|
|
if node.is_leaf and len(node.meshes) > 1:
|
|
node.merged = merge(node.meshes)
|
|
else:
|
|
for c in node.children: merge_octree(c)
|
|
# Coarse cull on octree node, fine draw merged buffer.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 매 결정 기준
|
|
| 상황 | Approach |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| 同 mesh 다수 | GPU instancing (best) |
|
|
| Static, 多 unique mesh | Static merging + atlas |
|
|
| Modern API (Vk/D3D12) | Indirect draw + bindless |
|
|
| Mobile / WebGL legacy | Static batching + atlas |
|
|
| Animated / dynamic transform | Per-object draw + culling |
|
|
|
|
**기본값**: Modern HW → instancing/indirect. Legacy → static merge + atlas.

## 🤖 LLM 활용
|
|
**언제**: Mobile / web renderer 최적화, asset pipeline 설계.
|
|
**언제 X**: Highly dynamic scenes (animation/destruction).
|
|
|
|
## ❌ 안티패턴
|
|
- **Merge everything**: 매 culling 효과 무력화.
|
|
- **Material 다른 mesh merge**: shader switch 강제 → benefit 없음.
|
|
- **Skinned mesh static merge**: 매 animation broken.
|
|
- **64k vertex 한계 모름**: 16-bit index 의 매 silent overflow.
|
|
- **Modern API 에서 merge 만 사용**: indirect/instancing 무시.
|
|
|
|
## 🧪 검증 / 중복
|
|
- Verified (Unity docs, Three.js BufferGeometryUtils, GPU Pro series).
|
|
- 신뢰도 A.
