FEBRUARY 23, 2023

The world of game development has seen a significant shift with the recent release of Unreal Engine 5, which promises to bring an unprecedented level of realism and interactivity to gaming experiences. With this new iteration, there are several key factors that distinguish Unreal Engine 5 from its predecessor, Unreal Engine 4.

What is Level of Detail (LOD) in 3D Modeling? | Techniques & software

Not only does LOD support faster rendering, it does so in a way that doesn't negatively impact the visual quality of an asset. Level of detail (LOD) refers to the level of complexity in a 3D-generated model and is primarily used in real-time rendering for video games and interactive tools.

Godot 4.0 will get a new, modernized lightmapper

MAY 8, 2020

Let's hope this implementation will also be of use to others making their own technology or engines, so they can use it as reference or just copy it. Most scenes bake in seconds instead of minutes or hours. Efficiently packs all texture objects in the lightmap to a texture array, to avoid state or material changes during rendering.

This adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. This can lead to a problem, when the movement of objects (which tends to occur on physics ticks) does not line up with the rendered frames, giving unsightly jitter. Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view.

rendering may be slower for a second or two, but the slowdown will not be nearly as bad as the typical hiccup caused by classic synchronous compilation. The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. This should show up initially as a quad.
