Optimize your 3d scenes with Merging Meshes. This mini-addon is the basis of my new powerful addon.

Merging Meshes is an add-on for Godot 4 that is designed to optimize scenes with a large number of MeshInstance3D and procedural geometry.

Meshes are combined by merging MeshInstance3D using SurfaceTool (append_from method). This allows you to combine an unlimited number of meshes into one, resulting in a HUGE GROWTH in perfomance as only one drawing call is made instead of thousands

1. UV and material support.
2. Clear and minimal code.
3. Convenient API - you can use this code in your tools!

1. Download and enable the addon (Make sure that the folder is located in addons).
2. Add a MergingMeshes node to your scene.
3. In the Inspector panel, add your MeshInstance3D nodes to the meshes parameter.
4. Optional: Assign a Material3D to the GeneralMaterial parameter to set the material for the merged mesh or use Original mesh materials.
5. Recommended: Keep the HideSource parameter enabled to automatically hide the original MeshInstance3D nodes.

This mini-add-on is a component of a larger add-on. Check out my profile to find more projects!
