This document was written in hopes to find more developers that would like to help us write rendering code, as it explains the overall design. Ability to completely reimplement all rendering code if desired, without changing the underlying game. It is not possible to control, from user code, the internal steps of rendering.

If you just need to batch once or twice during runtime even a high number of objects (in a demo scene he uses 10k mesh objects) the FPS will increase immensely with the code provided by Mr. Dimitrov, but if you do it over and over again I recommend  MeshCombineStudio.

So it’s easy to interpolate d across a triangle while rasterizing, and things like hierarchical Z-buffers, early Z-culling, and depth buffer compression are all a lot easier to do. Keep the projection matrix separate from other matrices, and apply it in a separate operation in the vertex shader, rather than composing it into the view matrix.
