Hey guys, I'm trying to render some text using a special method which requires 2 - 3 draw calls per character.
I'm adding all of the text to a Group node one character at a time in the order that they appear in the text. What I want to do is sort the drawing of the characters so that characters that are repeated are drawn consecutively to minimize state changes. I tried doing this with a custom RenderBin but I couldn't come up with a sorting algorithm that was good enough to sort a couple of thousand draw calls every frame. Ideally I'd like to do this sorting only whenever the text changes. I've been trying to sort the _children in my Group node using its traverse function and using a CullCallback but that doesn't seem to have any effect, the RenderBin still gets all the Geodes in traversal order even though I use a custom RenderBin with no sorting. Is there a way I can do this sorting before the everything gets to the RenderBins? Thank you!
