Hi everyone,

I am working on a game where the player is going to create a lot of objects ( but the nulber of different objects is not so huge).

I am trying to optimize the grpahics so I wanted to apply a materail to all the children, in order to reduce the number of draw calls.

Does anyone knw how to do that dynamically, using one renderer for the hundred of objects using the same material?

Thnaks in advance
Cheers,
Gamejie
