Due to its extensive asset store, versatility, and a multitude of tutorials and online courses, Unity has become the most popular 2D and 3D development platform in the world. Luckily both engines offer asset stores that allow users to download free and paid props, shading, textures, and many more.

glTF 2.0 ( GL Transmission Format ) is a fully open-source, widely implemented interchange format with built-in support for physically-based rendering standards. We hope that this makes our lives better with asset pipelines for 3D. as THE standard asset exchange format for game engines. What is glTF 2.0?

Not because it's necessarily harder to program or harder to make assets for, but it's much, much harder to debug. The rapid and hotfix prototyping that Godot provides made it possible for me to learn the engine quickly and then make a VR game quickly. The first prototype of FNFVR was made in around two weeks if I remember correctly.

For example, one of the things DOTS handled really well was rendering large amounts of entities. Without it, rendering the 800.000 tiles that compromise the game map became problematic, so the team had to spend a week on optimizing that. Still, the switch didn’t occur without its fair share of issues. Just don’t jump in blind, he says.

The character asset and animation are from GDQuest's "godot-3d-mannequin" project and the ground texture is from Kenney's "Prototype Textures" bundle. What is happening here is that the positions are being downcast into single-precision floats before being sent to the GPU for rendering.

In this lesson we will fix that by creating some project assets which can be used to load that panel. It is a simple matter to save a project asset. This means you can use the file menu to create instances: Assets -> Create -> Sample Data. Therefore, I have decided to implement this prototype using the Prefab approach.

This chapter is all about how I solved it (so far) to be able to place all kinds of assets like 3D-meshes or self-growing fractal seeds on the terrain. The code calculates Instantiations (spawning assets with the given parameters), which is quite heavy for the system to calculate. Before we start.

One of the common comments Unity users make, especially when it comes to adding Cinemachine as a plug-in, is that the program doesn’t seem to hang or lag, even when you have a number of experiments running, especially while importing assets. Yes, in the past, Unity has come up a little short when it came to interior renderings.

As a pioneer in the field, Silkin reminisces about the time when VR was essentially a prototype cluttered with wires and bulky headsets. “They showed the future through a bunch of renderings of Mark Zuckerberg doing fun things in virtual environments, but they were all renders,” he criticized.
