Babylon.js Playground Babylon.js playground is a live editor for Babylon.js WebGL and WebGPU 3D scenes So if you add a mesh to the picker list when the onNewMesh obs is fired, it will fail because the _forcedInstanceCount and _LODLevels is not ready yet. Th…

The main problem with OnNewMesh is that it is called before ANY other initialization. It is literally the first thing to happen in mesh constructor. So no other attributes are ready to be used. This is because the code to call that observable is in the AbstractMesh class that is called by all super(…

Seems at the moment waiting for a frame is the best option. [image] How do you update GPUPick meshes list? Questions Just give to the picker one frame to be ready after the observable is raised - https://playground.babylonjs.com/#YU2IJ5#14

I think it should be considered a bug as there is no explicit documentation around this and I dont think it is expected behaviour. Waiting a frame works but feels a bit hacky IMO

This is an interesting chicken and egg problem. To detect if the mesh has thinInstances we need a first round of rendering to get all the late bound variables in place. We can either document that limitation or try to adapt. I’ll think about it and report here

I just noticed this last night that anything dealing with the mesh buffers would fail at that point, so yeah I agree not a bug and not specific to the GPU picker even.

And simultaneously I think the correct expectation is to get the mesh when fully ready inside the onNewMesh so I think the PR fixes that

I think so too, that solves the expectation of the mesh being actually ready (at least for the case of GPUP). Thank you!
