Remarks
If you enable this property, Unity uses batching and reordering to combine meshes and blendshapes into fewer dispatch calls to the GPU.
Batching provides better performance on high-end platforms. Unity can process multiple meshes more quickly and reduce synchronisation issues. On other platforms, you might need to use MeshDeformation.GPU instead, because batching uses dynamic branching which has a high resource intensity.
Unity uses batching if the following applies:
- The Graphics API supports batching.
- You process 3 or more batchable meshes in one frame - this is the number of meshes where batching usually becomes faster than non-batched GPU skinning.
To make sure a mesh is batchable, check the mesh is compatible with standard non-batched GPU skinning, and that its vertex data layout exactly matches one of the following:
- position
- position, normal
- position, normal, tangent
If Unity can't use batching, it reverts to non-batched GPU skinning.
