Renderer Static entities

Unity Engine
,
1

Hi everybody ,

I’m trying to understand how Dots are working , and I have a misunderstood about rendering static entities.

I have a scene with a lot of 3D object for the environment , and I’m using the “convert to entity” check box to convert them to entities.

the problem is that I notice that if my Gameobject are set to “static” , entities are not rendering.

So, is it better to let them like Gameobject with static ? Or It’s better performance to convert them into entities with “static” uncheck?
Or maybe I’m in the wrong way to do this ?

Thanks for the help !
Have a good day :slight_smile:

Does your project have static batching enabled? Entity rendering does not support static batching.

In DOTS 0.5 and newer, rendering performance should be roughly the same for static and non-static entities. However, static entities might have performance advantages with CPU simulation code (e.g. transform updating).

@JussiKnuuttila Hello !

Is I have static batching enabled.

You are talking about between Static “gameobject”? and non Static entities? if yes, thanks for the awnser :slight_smile: !

I’m already using entities if I have a lot of moving object. But I have also a lot of unique mesh, that share the same material (atlas) and there are Static gameobject. So I don’t know if it’s better to let them as Gameobject with static enabled, or I switch them into entities , incrasing batching ( for mobile).

Thanks for helping me :smile:!
