Hi,
Working on a rendering concept, I was wondering if it makes sense to only use glDrawElementsInstanced for all the types of rendering (multiple isntances or just one)
what I mean is, normaly the glDrawElementsInstanced is used to render a set of elements that share the same mesh, and glDrawElements to render isolated elements that either differ in mesh and/or in material.
My ideia is, if I only use glDrawElementsInstanced to render everything, even when rendering only 1 element by passing count = 1, so:
doing glDrawElementsInstanced with count = 1 is it the same as glDrawElementsInstanced, or will it have a poor performance as when doing the latter? And if not, is it a bad practice?
Regards,
