The drone remote, the most seen object in the game, & counterintuitively one of the most minimally designed objects in the game, is also one of the heaviest, utilizing nearly 200,000 triangles across 3 separate draw calls to render the object every single frame.

Here's a quick breakdown:

  • Body: 36 indices, 12 triangles
  • Button: 73,728 indices, 24,576 triangles
  • Antenna: 479,232 indices, 159,744 triangles

That is 184,332 triangles.

Once it is picked up, you cannot put it away.

It will always be rendered.

Also here’s the moment I saw it live on stream.

People were saying the meshes were bad, but I had doubts and thought people may have been blowing out out of proportion, and then I was swiftly & aggressively proven wrong.
