Merge two geometries or geometry and geometry from object using objects transform merge. Is there a better way to add a lot of objects to a scene. This means that they share some common properties with each other. The basic process is to first create an instance of geometry by calling the constructor, and saving the instance of geometry to a variable. I came across a need for the ability to draw dynamically in three. Ill do some searching on these technologies and see how they work. Ideally, i need to have several hundred objects on the scene. And its much faster than several meshes with their materials. But if the geometry are merged, it displays 120000 cubes at 30fps.
