Billboards limit count

dakilla

Hi

Is it possible to enlarge the max number of Billboards in BillboardSet ?
it is actually limited to : MAX_BILLBOARDS = 65536 / 4 => (16384)

I tried to set 500’000 and using index buffer with large indices, but it draw nothing…

It should just need writing 32bit indices properly, so this shouldn’t be impossible to add.

I wouldn’t necessarily recommend using more than what fits to 16bit indices, since it’s more data to write and slower to access, however the indices just need to be written once.

Optional 32bit indices for billboards are in the master branch. Thinking of it, same could be done to DecalSet quite easily, it’s just not necessarily a wise thing to do.
