I have a scene that consists of several hundred adjoining pieces of procedurally generated geometry and the whole structure can be pretty stretched/long. Each piece is added to the Horde scene graph as a separate Model node. To improve performance I wanted to group some of these mesh-pieces into a surrounding bounding box to let Horde perform a visibility check with this surrounding bounding box first instead of checking each piece of geometry anyway. So I tried to add sequences of 20 adjoining mesh pieces to a Horde groupnode. But as far as I have seen this groupnode has no separate bounding box... What's the trick to "combine" several model nodes in a surrounding bounding box? |

With the new spatial graph the group node is no more a culling primitive. Instead of creating many models you could create meshes and attach them to a single model. The model has a bounding box for all its meshes. |

(how) can I attach my geometry resource to a meshnode instead of a modelnode? As far as I have seen I can attach a GeometryResource only to a modelnode. |

Only models can have a geometry resource but meshes can use a section of that geometry resource. So you need to put the vertex and triangle data of your small objects into a single geometry resource. |
