Combine materials

API function: algo.combineMeshes

Use this feature along with scene.mergePartOccurrences to combine part occurrences and their assigned materials. The result is a similar looking model, but the number of draw calls is reduced.

These operations are performed:

• Geometries are merged, but they aren't modified.
• Texture coordinates are combined and repacked into a single atlas.
• Material information is transferred to a single set of textures. This set is used by a single material that's applied to the combined mesh.

You can regenerate texture coordinates.

This feature bakes these maps:

• Albedo
• Normals
• Opacity
• Roughness
• Specular
• Metallic
• Ambient occlusion

The output material contains the packed textures atlas:
