Native Octree
An Octree Native Collection for Unity DOTS. It's ported from https://github.com/marijnz/NativeQuadtree with very few changes.
Implementation
- It's a DOTS native container, meaning it's handling its own unmanaged memory and can be passed into jobs!
- It currently only supports the storing of points
- The bulk insertion is using morton codes. This allows very fast bulk insertion but causes an increasing (minor) overhead with an increased depth
Performance
There's some very rudimentary performance tests included. With 20k elements on a 2000x2000x2000m map, a max depth of 6 and 16 max elements per leaf. Burst enabled, ran on main thread on my i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz:</br>
- Job: Bulk insertion of all elements - Takes ~1ms
- Job: 1k queries on a 200x200x200m range - Takes ~2.7ms
With Burst disabled the tests are about 10x slower.
Stability
The only tests test for performance so there's no real test coverage. I'm sure there's edge cases that are not caught. I would highly recommend writing more tests if you're planning to use the code in production.
Query debug view
There's a very simple debug drawer that visualizes nodes and query hits. Example below is of a 200x1000x200m AABB.

- Unit tests
- Support for basic shapes
- Other types of queries, such as raycasts
- Support individual adding and removing of elements
