What is the BEST way to render thousands of foliage meshes? See screenshot

[torrent]

I am working on a three.js project with multiplayer networking. It’s open world survival, using the Rapier.js physics engine.

I have optimized the hell out of everything I can think of. I am aggressively using InstancedMesh where I can.

My question is, what things can I try to bump up the frames per second? I am getting ~6.5 frames per second on the outdoor scene in this screenshot. I am using an InstancedMesh for all of these small bush meshes:

A forest of octahedral impostors

Hi guys I am working on a new library for rendering octahedral impostors and I’ve created a small demo with a terrain 3072 x 3072 and 200k trees. It should work quite good on mobile as well. The terrain is managed with BatchedMesh with an extension to have LODs, generated with meshoptimizer. For the trees, I used InstancedMesh2, with a BVH for frustum culling, adding two more LODs, one created with meshoptimizer (distance from 15 to 100) and the other using an octahedral impostor (dist…
