Can anyone share how to render 3d primitives or 3d line in an efficient way.
eg. render a massive amount of boudingbox or simple shape
This is how I render all my stars in 3D.
public override void Draw(GraphicsDevice dev)
{
if (WorldState.GetWorldState().SunDirection.Y > 0.02)
{
world = Matrix.CreateScale(1, -1, 1);
Matrix trans = Matrix.CreateRotationY(-MathHelper.ToRadians((float)WorldState.GetWorldState().LST)) * Matrix.CreateFromYawPitchRoll((float)WorldState.GetWorldState().CameraLongitude, (float)WorldState.GetWorldState().CameraLatitude, 0);
effect.World = world;
effect.View = Matrix.Identity;
effect.Projection = WorldState.GetWorldState().Projection;
Matrix mw = WorldState.GetWorldState().View * world;
Vector2 Origin = new Vector2(texture.Width / 2, texture.Height / 2);
batch.Begin(SpriteSortMode.Immediate, BlendState.NonPremultiplied, null, DepthStencilState.None, RasterizerState.CullNone, effect);
for (int i = 0; i < Verts.Count; i++)
{
Vector3 worldspace = Vector3.Transform(Verts[i], trans);
Vector3 viewSpaceTextPosition = Vector3.Transform(worldspace, mw);
batch.Draw(texture, new Vector2(viewSpaceTextPosition.X, viewSpaceTextPosition.Y), null, Colours[i], 0.0f, Origin, 1.0f, SpriteEffects.None, viewSpaceTextPosition.Z);
}
batch.End();
}
}
It’s very efficient
You can get a SpriteBatch extension that draws primitives with a quick google search

You would use a basic effect for this it draws a bunch of lines as grids.
.
.
render a massive amount
.
.
Instancing for massive amounts of the same type of thing.
Other wise if it has to be cpu side make a pooled buffer.
At the bottom is some example instancing code.
