Performance improvements (Patreon)

Hi!

Sorry if it's taking a bit longer than expected to release new models. I recently worked on performance improvements.

I know that one of the main concerns about my old models on smutba.se (Generation 3) is that the performance in viewport are terrible. With recent models I tried to improve a bit the situation with various optimizations.

The results over Tifa version 5 (the latest on smutba.se) are the following:

30%-40% more FPS on viewport solid mode (52fps vs 40fps)

20%-30% more FPS on viewport Eevee preview (47fps vs 39fps)

huge boost when rendering with Cycles and Eevee, and in the shader compilation in Eevee

And this is on Mac that doesn't have a Vulkan implementation!

The numbers are obtained with: Blender Simplify on, Hair hidden, Morphs active, and Eevee Optimized Normals on.

Note: in the video the FPS are lower than expected because the screen capture lowers the FPS.

More updates soon.. :)

But in the meanwhile, a recent render of the new Tifa model.
