Occlusion Culling for GUI Elements

Hi there,

I have a scroll rect with a large content area and multiple objects in it. I only want to render objects when they are actually visible (either by the camrea or by the scroll rect mask). Anyway i tried occlusion areas and portals but cant get it to work. My occlusion area does not have a "isTargetVolume" property as shown in the Docs. Only is View volume.

Can anybody tell me if this is even possible for gui elements?

Thanks in advance

 

, all you need is MASK

Add a Mask component and an Image component (doesn't need an image assigned) to the ScrollRect. Then everything outside the ScrollRect will not be drawn.

 

See the official scroll rect video.

 

Nope this doesnt do the trick. I am sorry i have to be more specific. My Problem ist not that the content ist visible (it is not) however it still produces drawcalls even though most elements are not within the angle of the camera.

 

It is late and I should be asleep.... Just a warning in advance about my idea.

Check the y position of each object in the scrollrect in update or when a scroll occurs. If y exceeds the boundaries of the scrollrect, turn the rendering component (image, text, etc) off.
