Which is worse for performance? LWC or quads overdraw?

Hi @3dRaven

@3dRaven

I doubt nanite would be justifiable at that polygon density.

Yes. I’m making low-poly models. I was generating meshes with Geometry Script and was getting models with about 10,000 polygons. I do the same with Blender only with 500 triangles.

I saw recommendations to always use Nanite even with low poly models.
However I checked Nanite’s GPU time and it was consuming 10% of the total (about 2 ms). Only with two or three models. Then I started to doubt everything.

I won’t use Nanite!!

LWC is large world coordinates. I would only use it if you were planning a big open world game.

I don’t think I need LWC either. My worlds are very small (less than 100x100 meters)
I can’t find where to disable it. I’m looking in Project Settings and there are no options to disable it

You could stream in the buildings internals if you are worried about overdraw. Basic wall overlap will be in part thrown away due to back-face culling.

I will look into that.

Thank you very much for your help @3dRaven
