So I’m creating a letter/word game where I put lots of lettertiles on a grid.
I want to (of course) optimise this as much as possible and reuse the geometry and materials but really don’t know which approach I should take.
I’m creating this simple geometry of a box (letter tiles) and want to reuse it. Still the problem is that I also want to use the same big texture so I have created all the letters on a big image and thought about just changing the UV-coords to show the correct letter on the tile.
Now I guess this will break the idea of reusing the same geometry, right? (as the UV-is a part of the geometry).
Would you suggest me any other better way to have a lot of letter-tiles rendered on the screen at the same time.
Oh! One more thing. The Tiles are “bobbing” on waterwaves so I cannot just batch them all together in one big geometry (which would be my first solution otherwise). I need to control their position and rotation for each frame.
Am i on the right track? should I do it any other way?
