Hi, What are the strategies for achieving this? I was thinking maybe I can modify the skinned shader chunks and replace some of those calculations with instanced buffer attributes. I’m not sure how the bone texture and all that apply and where I would make the change. The other option I was brain…

Very impressive. Two questions: are you planning to make this available to use in the near future? is it possible to control the animation state individually / instance? It’s fine if it has to be the same animation, but would it at least be possible the control the current time and/or perhaps the …

[image] kbk: are you planning to make this available to use in the near future? Yes i wanted to release it last weekend but was too busy, also still looking for better assets for better testing. [image] kbk: is it possible to control the animation state individually / instance? It’s fine…

Sounds promising. Can’t wait…

@Fyrestar this is amazing, will this be an external jsm “addon” module or are you planning to make a pr on the main three.js library?! Exciting stuff! Can’t wait to see it in action!!

Have you by any chance made any progress on this? I’m really looking forward to trying it out, it looks awesome.

I put together a user-land port of https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/pull/22667 in https://codesandbox.io/s/2yfgiu (also left a comment on the PR).

Hello…i was wondering if you ever released the instanced skinned meshes code for use in the threejs community. I found your post from 22 and really would like to apply what you did.

Not yet sorry, i was very busy with work and currently still am, but i release it within next 1-3 weeks, even though it’s technically done there is some adaption work to do to make it work across many Three releases, and making the demo asset. Originally i wanted to use a high-res human with many LO…

If it helps, i can provide you with a high density multi-LOD fbx file to help in your development. To what email should i send it?

Yeah i just been still looking for some demo asset. Might make one for it, needs multiple geometry LODs.
