Combine Children makes more vertices

Unity Engine

Hi :slight_smile:

I use the “Combine Children” script, which I found in the Island Demo project.
I just found out that it may very well reduce my draw calls BIG time, but it seems it doesn’t merge the vertices of the new object it builds. I go from 600 draw calls to 112, when performing the script, but at the same time my vertex count goes from 22k to around 88k. And my object disappears… Why? Because of the 65k limit on vertex count :smile:

So… Is there a quick way to add a “Merge vertices when done combining” functionality to the otherwise very well-working “Combine Children” script?
Because I’m really not that strong in scripting, and have already used WAY too much time on the task!!! :?

Ok… so it seems there isn’t a “quick” way then :smile:

What is the hard way then? I really need this to be solved…

manual combining it or reworking the whole script to keep shared vertices shared and alike

Hasn’t anybody made a script that does a simple “weld/merge” of vertices, based on some sort of threshold (of say the distance between the individual vertices)?
If that’s not the case, I have a problem. In no way am I skilled enough to rework that script. But maybe I should give it a try, though. I have been surprised before of what one can accomplish, by simply taking things one step a a time… :slight_smile:
