I have been looking into optimising my project. The framerate is very low, at least when running it in the editor.
The main issue that I can see is the large number of “instantiate” calls when I generate trees and ground cover objects. I am using a coroutine to break this up, but even so, it causes significant performance hits.
I could try to implement an object pooling system, but I have such a large number of different types of trees, vegetation, etc, an object pooling system would be less effective that it would otherwise be.
I could also try creating, or using, a procedural tree generation system, where I could create trees in real time without instantiating them. Depending on how this was done, it could be a lot faster than using instantiate\/destroy, and also allow for far greater randomisation, etc.
For a project focused on procedural generation, this is really the “correct” option, but it would need to be an advanced system in order for it to replace my current art assets. A lot of procedural tree systems look bland and boring compared to manually created assets.
This is something that I will be looking into in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
