I've run into this before - it _can_ be fast if your engine supports some form of mesh instances and exposes it to the user.




Would it be slow still if it recalculates everything?

The mesh calculation meant you are not in control. For simple model ok. For complex one, Realky can optimize eg not calculate anything 3 meter away.


My comment only referred to rendering.
