Text Batching | Font Rendering in Java #3
62Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/4tHeAkxNg7
In this episode I go over the basics of how to set up a batched render using one batch. This consists of filling the batch until it can no longer contain any more quads, then flushing it to the GPU and resetting it to upload more data. This is more efficient then batched renderer systems I've made in the past because it allows the CPU to continue working while the GPU is setting up the data, instead of locking the CPU while it uploads all the data at the end of the frame.
