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

🎯 Why: Rendering hundreds or thousands of individual meshes creates an excessive number of draw calls (one per mesh), which significantly impacts CPU and GPU performance. InstancedMesh allows multiple instances of the same geometry and material to be rendered in a single draw call.

📊 Measured Improvement:

  • Draw Call Reduction: Theoretical reduction from ~1082 draw calls (360 + 720 cubes + lighting) to approximately 4 draw calls per scene (2 tori + lighting).
  • CPU Efficiency: Using a singleton THREE.Object3D for matrix updates within the useFrame loop reduces per-frame object allocation and garbage collection overhead.
  • Robustness: Added key={count} to handle dynamic instance count changes and frustumCulled={false} to ensure visibility during complex orbital animations.

Note: The components/QuantumScene.tsx file was reconstructed from task snippets and historical blobs as it was missing from the current branch's master HEAD.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 10546446207227002746 started by @jason420247

- Refactor `MicrotubuleTorus` to use `THREE.InstancedMesh`.
- Reduce theoretical draw calls from 1082 to 4 per scene.
- Optimize the animation loop using a reusable `THREE.Object3D` for matrix calculations.
- Add `key={count}` to ensure correct remounting on count changes.
- Set `frustumCulled={false}` to prevent instances from disappearing prematurely.
- Reconstruct the missing `QuantumScene.tsx` file based on provided snippets and historical blobs.
