- model_release(model) frees each primitive's mesh, and each texture once no other model uses it: the glTF texture cache counts the primitives using each texture (a path loaded again, and a LOD chain borrowing its LOD0's material, each take a reference); the last one frees the texture and forgets it along with any remembered material naming it, so a later load is a fresh one - a scatter layer's instance and sort arrays start at 256 and double as layer_add or a stream fills them, to the layer's cap, instead of the whole cap up front (0.4 GB in Maroon Lake) - gvk_tex_read's copy struct comes from the scratch ring - examples/rendering/release.ludic holds it (RELEASE OK on Vulkan and OpenGL), in the suite smooth renders pixel-identical before and after (max |d| 0). ludic-dev test 306/306.

**A loaded model can be let go of: `model_release(model)`.** Its meshes are freed at once, and
|
|
each texture once no other model uses it - the glTF loader shares textures between models (one
|
|
path loaded once, a LOD chain borrowing its LOD0's material), so every cached texture now counts
|
|
the primitives using it, and the last one frees it and forgets it, with any remembered material
|
|
that named it. A game can unload a species' kit or a map's models when nothing of them is left,
|
|
and loading one again afterwards is a fresh load. A scatter layer takes room for what it holds
|
|
instead of its whole capacity up front (it doubles as it fills, to its cap), which in Maroon Lake
|
|
was 0.4 GB of never-filled instance arrays. `examples/rendering/release.ludic` is the check.
