Need some tests here (Decals Issue)

[franck22000]

So today i made a bug report about the decals here: http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/tracker/issue-188-decals-issue/

 

Here is a demo, so you can test and reproduce the problem, please post your remarks in this post so it can maybe help Josh to solve this issue, thanks !

 

I

 

WSAD keys and mouse to move camera

 

Left Mouse Button to add a decal toward the camera direction

 

Then you can add some decals, and move the camera very close to the decals and see the hudge fps drop

If you have some Dll erros you may need this: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/fr-fr/details.aspx?FamilyID=bd512d9e-43c8-4655-81bf-9350143d5867

 

Here is the code that i am using:

 

if(MouseDown(1))
{

TCamera _Camera = CRenderer::getInstance()->getMainCamera();

	TPick _Picked;

	CameraPick( &_Picked, _Camera, Vec3(GraphicsWidth() / 2, GraphicsHeight() / 2, 100), 0);

	TMesh _Decal = CreateDecal(_Picked.surface, TFormPoint(Vec3(_Picked.X, _Picked.Y, _Picked.Z), NULL, _Picked.entity), 0.020f);

	EntityParent(_Decal , _Picked.entity, 0);
	PaintEntity(_Decal , LoadMaterial("abstract::bullethole.mat"));
	UpdateMesh(_Decal);
	AddMesh(_Decal , _Picked.entity);

}

you should post the code as well in the demo and in the bug report... this could very well be an issue of implementation.

Thanks code added

120 fps with no decals

103-105 with 1 decal

96-99 with 2 decals

88-91 with 3 decals

85 with 4 decals

79 with 5 decals

74 with 6 decals

That's indeed quite ridiculous. You could have like 1000 real 3D models as decals with higher FPS.
