The primary goal of this lab is to see how the representation of geometry in a scene can affect rendering performance. In particular, a scene where everything is represented as a movable object can get super heavy. Instead, you can “bake” meshes that won't move into static batches, which get optimized for rendering performance.

No special preparation is required.

Follow these steps to complete the lab project:

1. Create a New Project Create a new empty project called “Lab5” in the same way you have created new projects for other lab projects.
2. Create a Manual Object You will use the

Upload your commented source files into Lab5 in MySchool (zip them up if more than one). The lab projects will not be graded, but their completion counts towards your participation grade.
