1. UNITY --Diffuse material and or point lights using extra draws?

   

   Topic by kream · Jan 2011 · Home› Technical Talk

   I was hoping somebody might be able to help me with this. In Unity I have character "A" at 4000 tris and when "A" uses a diffuse material, the tri count doubles to 8k- 2 draws- Then each time I add a point light it draws the character again, 12k, 16k, etc... Is this correct, or am I messing something up. In essence my low…

   Except when you use Deferred Lighting Rendering Path. (pro only)

   Yep, Unity does a pass for each light and adds them all together.

   1 drawcall per light per shader sounds about right. Someone more knowledgeable on the subject is bound to chip in though to clear things up

   Unless you use deferred lighting path, which will allow you to have many times more lights with the same number of draw calls, but deferred shading is slow or unavailable on older gpu's.
