### Remarks

This returns the number of passes made such as in direct drawing code. For example, drawing 3D primitives with [GL.Begin](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/gl/begin.md), [GL.End](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/gl/end.md), and also drawing meshes using [Graphics.DrawMeshNow](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/graphics/drawmeshnow.md).
