Join Adam Crespi for an in-depth discussion in this video Enabling batching to reduce draw calls, part of Unity 5: 3D Essential Training.
- Batching is another terrific way…to reduce the amount of data being shown in the game…at a particular time.…What batching does is register instances of prefabs,…declare them once and then simply reference back…versus redrawing it every time.…I'll take a look in my player settings under batching…choosing Edit and Project Settings…and here under Player.…In the PlayerSettings I'll roll up Icon…and take a look under Other Settings.…What we can see in here is that by default…Static and Dynamic Batching are checked.…
What this let's us do then…is dynamically batch our prefabs.…The cool thing is it's on by default.…We don't necessarily have to do anything with it,…but we need to be aware of it…in how we construct our game.…What this means then in Static Batching…is that objects that are prefabs brought in…and instance are batched,…and again we declare it once and then reference back to it.…Dynamic Batching looks at what we're seeing,…takes out and respects the occlusion culling.…What we can also do is go down and optimize in our meshes.…
