[Enhancement] Scattering >50,000 points #5

Open HypoChloremic opened 4 years ago

HypoChloremic commented 4 years ago

Hello,

I have been trying to scatter plot >50,000 vectors in Blender. Implementing ico-spheres as is done in the case of the scripts in this repository results with frequent crashes. Using single vertices has proven to be much faster. However, I have had issues rendering the single vertices. How may I modify the existing scripts to accord to this? Some google searches has led me to Halos, however I have not been able to make the single vertices render.

i would use a single Mesh to store those vectors, and use dupli-objects instead, rather than instancing 50.000 objects.

check out Sverchok's code for the node called "dupli instancer". https://github.com/nortikin/sverchok/blob/e3fc7a5dc900935d607bd8f3167ace1956f09c46/nodes/scene/dupli_instances_mk4.py

maybe i will go through the code in this repo myself and pull it into 2020.. it's a bit ancient at the moment.

Thanks for the fast response! I'll try it out
