1000 rigged AnimationPlayers in 3D, impossible?
2026-04-24 , Theatre 2

AnimationPlayers rely heavily on the CPU. Having a 100 AnimationPlayers with basic rigging and animations can already lag a lot.
So how can Godot show complex animations on 1000 characters at the same time, with no lag nor overheating?
Thanks to a recently merged pull request and a little extra effort, this becomes a reality.
