[Tutorial]Outer Stroke Effect for 2D Sprites

Cocos

Principle Since it’s an outer stroke, it doesn’t occupy the pixels of the original image to draw the edges. Remember the previous article, where we used the image’s Alpha to find edges, determining whether there were pixels with Alpha of 0 around the image. Here, we take the opposite approach.

GLES2 and GDNative, progress report #6

Mircosoft Game Dev

This is a screenshot that displays the object-space position of each pixel as the color. That was fixed by reflecting the view-vector with the normal of the current pixel. A mipmap is a smaller version of the original texture, usually filtered in a special way to make them look nicer when they are viewed from an angle or far away.

Creating a See-Through | X-Ray Effect In Unity – Shader Tutorial

Awesome Tuts

What Is a Shader? Since the main premise of this effect is going to be a shader, we’ll start with explaining what a shader is. A shader is a script where you write code that determines how the colors will be rendered based on various scenarios like lighting and material configuration.

Vulkan progress report #7

Mircosoft Game Dev

It supported roughness, but it did so in a way where the texture reads appeared rough, but not the reflected image (the edges of the reflected objects remained intact). They are very easy to use, just select the right texture channels and blending options and they work without much hassle. New screen-space reflection. Light projectors.

How to write Shaders in Unity using HLSL

Febucci

Shaders are used to create many effects, like “water”, “fire” and more. UVs are also called texture coordinates and they let you map textures on your objects. You’re basically saying to the computer: “hey, I want this texture drawn from here to here”. Shaders Theory. Shader Example.

Practical Tips for Optimizing Ray Tracing

Nvidia

Technically, you can use shader atomic increments to account for all the rays on each frame if needed. This can be partially achieved using a bindless resource model where all required resources are available directly from the shader code on GPU without explicit CPU-side bindings. Shader table data and updates.

Custom sky shaders in Godot 4.0

Mircosoft Game Dev

Update (2021-10-28): You can find a documentation page about Sky shaders in the Godot documentation. We aim to change that by introducing sky shaders. Assign a panorama texture to the material and you are all done! It is easy to tweak and update and uses a lightweight shader to avoid consuming GPU resources. Sky Shaders.
