> I'm having trouble understanding the question

I've only slightly dabbled in game engines, and have only been exposed to ECS and scene graphs, so I was asking for other methods, since they don't seem to be nearly as popular. Searching gives me results, but I can't qualify them, so maybe aren't "interesting" to actual game devs. I added "practical" because this is HN, where sometimes theoretical tangents take hold. :)

But thanks!

Honestly I think most sensible ways of organizing renderable entities end up approximating either ECS or scene graphs. The difference is that you’re doing the management yourself instead of relying on engine’s functionality, so you get way less features but way more performance due to lack of unnecessary overhead.
