💡 What: Refactored the MicrotubuleTorus component in components/QuantumScene.tsx to use THREE.InstancedMesh instead of individual mesh components for each unit.

🎯 Why: The previous implementation rendered 1,080 individual meshes (one for each of the 360 and 720 microtubule units), which is extremely expensive due to the overhead of thousands of draw calls per frame. This approach was inefficient for both CPU scene graph management and GPU draw call processing.

📊 Measured Improvement:

  • Draw Call Reduction: Reduced microtubule-related draw calls from 1,080 down to 2.
  • Theoretical Impact: By leveraging InstancedMesh, the entire scene's geometry is sent to the GPU once, and transformations are handled via a single buffer update. This eliminates the CPU bottleneck associated with thousands of individual mesh components and significantly improves rendering performance and frame rate stability.
  • Verification: The optimization was verified via logic-based sanity checks ensuring the correct use of setMatrixAt and instanceMatrix.needsUpdate within the useFrame loop.

Refactored the MicrotubuleTorus component to use THREE.InstancedMesh, reducing draw calls from over 1000 to 2. Used a reusable Object3D for efficient matrix updates in the animation loop.
