Mesh streaming : Models are loaded as low detail (few vertices). The most complex is mesh streaming , which generally needs to be implemented together with a GPU culling strategy to ensure that very large amounts of models can be drawn at no CPU cost. Mesh resource for each pass of the particle.

To solve the problem we rearranged the mesh and added some edge loops along track parts. All of the moving obstacles have implemented different mechanics, that make player behave in a certain way. Adjusting mesh, rig and skinning needed a couple of iterations. We had to focus on the matter of readability.

Regardless of the pooling mechanism, avoid memory fragmentation to keep the benefits achieved by pooling. Consider representing mesh particles as instances in TLAS. For particles rendered as triangle meshes, having a unique instance for each particle can be a reasonable solution. Instances should share the base mesh BLAS.
