Baking, Build, Content and Shaders - Game Developers Network

Creating a Build Environment on AWS with Incredibuild

NOVEMBER 23, 2022

Game developers often need to compile large amounts of C++ code, which requires lots of CPU resources, and developers also need to process other types of heavy compute tasks such as; shader compilation, rendering, asset creation, image conversion, lightmap baking and more. So, how can we do this and with what type of solution?

The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. The new container types are especially useful for dynamic content on different window sizes. Asynchronous shader compilation + caching (ubershader). courtesy of Pedro J.

First off: I learned a lot about Unity’s build in batching system. Doing it before starting the actual game would mean to already generate all the content that needs to be batched at the beginning, which is no solution for a theoretically “endless procedurally generated” terrain. Draw call batching.

The bulk of a game’s content package is made up of resources that naturally target the GPU: textures, materials, and geometry data. Traditional data compression techniques are applicable to game content that rarely changes. However, it may result in variation in latency when delivering the resource contents to their final locations.

x releases, now that we have a fairly mature base to build upon. macOS: ARM64 build, code signing. Building upon the initial prototype , we've now reached a state where we're happy to release the Web editor in sync with the native version, so you can find the latest stable version on editor.godotengine.org. iOS: New plugin API.

Preface In the last article , Kylin shared how to add your own post-effect Shader in the custom render pipeline in Cocos Creator 3.8. However, based on the BlitScreen solution, we can only write the simplest post-effect Shader. Today Kylin will use Gaussian blur to demonstrate how to write a multi-pass post-effect shader.
