Someone told me they noticed that having many trails was significantly less performance impactful than having many beams. I was confused by this because I thought that a trail and beam segment were both only 2 triangles. Yet, when testing the draw counts for a trail and beam segment, it appears a trail segment somehow only has 1 triangle despite the wireframe clearly showing 2.
A single beam segment (2 tri):
A single trail segment (1 tri):
If anyone could explain why this is, I’d greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
