Fast way to render lots of spheres
Setup:
1. Index buffer containing N quads (each 2 triangles), where N is the max amount of spheres. Repeating pattern of {0,1,2,1,3,2} + K*4.
2. No vertex buffer.
Render N*2 triangles, where N is the number of spheres you have.
Vertex shader:
1. Sphere index = N/4 (N = SV_VertexId)
2. Quad coord: Q = float2(N%2, (N%4)/2) * 2.0 - 1.0
3. Transform sphere center -> pos
