… ah, F1 gets me lots of blended trees like an impressionist painting (with a spaceship) where I get around 36fps.
I think this is ‘blending clone’ so looks like my fpc performance is 10% slower.

I look forward to your new game where you have to hide your spaceship launch base in the jungle …

The idea of this test was to get a picture, and let others too, of how the various stuff is performing. It was based on your attempts to create trees LOD - I was wonder what and how could be improved. If TCastlePanel lags behind other similar Castle object, the we can look into the code, compare, and improve.

The test has been done on 2 GPUs: nvidia rtx5090 and radeon integrated on AMD 9950x3d, with 128GB ram. This setup helped me to isolate the test quite well, with only few % system load coming from other apps. Both GPus performed basically the same, with an exception that radeon was on 60Hz refresh rate. Even older GPU (rtx2080ti) wasn’t too bad.
I have tested volume shadows on an older GPU (not ancient though) with real 3D objects and they were not so much slower. About 10-15fps drop on average, but haven’t done 5000 objects yet. Once the volume is calculated, it performs well enough, but I didn’t fully test that yet.
The test app I programmed to be easy enough (hopefully) for even beginners. Shadows are ON, so if you replace any model with a real 3d stuff then they should work… with an emphasis on ‘should’.
I did change the settings up & down, both in debugger and release, on FPC and Delphi, but Delphi is somehow behind.
