public static void DrawMeshInstancedIndirect (Mesh mesh, int submeshIndex, Material material, Bounds bounds, ComputeBuffer bufferWithArgs, int argsOffset= 0, MaterialPropertyBlock properties= null, Rendering.ShadowCastingMode castShadows= ShadowCastingMode.On, bool receiveShadows= true, int layer= 0, Camera camera= null);

Parámetros

mesh The Mesh to draw.
submeshIndex Which subset of the mesh to draw. This applies only to meshes that are composed of several materials.
material Material to use.
bounds The bounding volume surrounding the instances you intend to draw.
bufferWithArgs The GPU buffer containing the arguments for how many instances of this mesh to draw.
argsOffset The byte offset into the buffer, where the draw arguments start.
properties Additional material properties to apply. See MaterialPropertyBlock.
castShadows Should the mesh cast shadows?
receiveShadows Should the mesh receive shadows?
layer Layer to use.
camera If null (default), the mesh will be drawn in all cameras. Otherwise it will be drawn in the given camera only.

Descripción

Draw the same mesh multiple times using GPU instancing.

Similar to Graphics.DrawMeshInstanced, this function draws many instances of the same mesh, but unlike that method, the arguments for how many instances to draw come from bufferWithArgs.

Use this function in situations where you want to draw the same mesh for a particular amount of times using an instanced shader. Meshes are not further culled by the view frustum or baked occluders, nor sorted for transparency or z efficiency.

Buffer with arguments, bufferWithArgs, has to have five integer numbers at given argsOffset offset: index count per instance, instance count, start index location, base vertex location, start instance location.

Here is a script that can be used to draw many instances of the same mesh:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {

public int instanceCount = 100000; public Mesh instanceMesh; public Material instanceMaterial;

private int cachedInstanceCount = -1; private ComputeBuffer positionBuffer; private ComputeBuffer argsBuffer; private uint[] args = new uint[5] { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 };

void Start() {

argsBuffer = new ComputeBuffer(1, args.Length * sizeof(uint), ComputeBufferType.IndirectArguments); UpdateBuffers(); }

void Update() {

// Update starting position buffer if (cachedInstanceCount != instanceCount) UpdateBuffers();

// Pad input if (Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") != 0.0f) instanceCount = (int)Mathf.Clamp(instanceCount + Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * 40000, 1.0f, 5000000.0f);

// Render Graphics.DrawMeshInstancedIndirect(instanceMesh, 0, instanceMaterial, new Bounds(Vector3.zero, new Vector3(100.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f)), argsBuffer); }

void OnGUI() {

GUI.Label(new Rect(265, 25, 200, 30), "Instance Count: " + instanceCount.ToString()); instanceCount = (int)GUI.HorizontalSlider(new Rect(25, 20, 200, 30), (float)instanceCount, 1.0f, 5000000.0f); }

void UpdateBuffers() {

// positions if (positionBuffer != null) positionBuffer.Release(); positionBuffer = new ComputeBuffer(instanceCount, 16); Vector4[] positions = new Vector4[instanceCount]; for (int i=0; i < instanceCount; i++) { float angle = Random.Range(0.0f, Mathf.PI * 2.0f); float distance = Random.Range(20.0f, 100.0f); float height = Random.Range(-2.0f, 2.0f); float size = Random.Range(0.05f, 0.25f); positions[i] = new Vector4(Mathf.Sin(angle) * distance, height, Mathf.Cos(angle) * distance, size); } positionBuffer.SetData(positions); instanceMaterial.SetBuffer("positionBuffer", positionBuffer);

// indirect args uint numIndices = (instanceMesh != null) ? (uint)instanceMesh.GetIndexCount(0) : 0; args[0] = numIndices; args[1] = (uint)instanceCount; argsBuffer.SetData(args);

cachedInstanceCount = instanceCount; }

void OnDisable() {

if (positionBuffer != null) positionBuffer.Release(); positionBuffer = null;

if (argsBuffer != null) argsBuffer.Release(); argsBuffer = null; } }

Here is a surface shader that can be used with the example script above:

          Shader "Instanced/InstancedSurfaceShader" {
    Properties {
        _MainTex ("Albedo (RGB)", 2D) = "white" {}
        _Glossiness ("Smoothness", Range(0,1)) = 0.5
        _Metallic ("Metallic", Range(0,1)) = 0.0
    }
    SubShader {
        Tags { "RenderType"="Opaque" }
        LOD 200

void rotate2D(inout float2 v, float r) { float s, c; sincos(r, s, c); v = float2(v.x * c - v.y * s, v.x * s + v.y * c); }

void setup() { #ifdef UNITY_PROCEDURAL_INSTANCING_ENABLED float4 data = positionBuffer[unity_InstanceID];

float rotation = data.w * data.w * _Time.y * 0.5f; rotate2D(data.xz, rotation);

Here is a custom shader that can be used with the example script above:

          Shader "Instanced/InstancedShader" {
    Properties {
        _MainTex ("Albedo (RGB)", 2D) = "white" {}
    }
    SubShader {
