Project Structure - Guide to Cocos Cyberpunk Source Code

Cocos

In my previous post, I mentioned that I would be write a series of articles on Cocos Cyberpunk. 2、LightFX The lightmaps generated by the Lightmap Baking System will be automatically stored in this folder, and there is no need to manually modify the contents inside it. Hey everyone, Kylin here!

Godot 4.0 gets SDF based real-time global illumination

Mircosoft Game Dev

SDFGI is something akin to a dynamic real-time lightmap (but it does not requiere unwrapping, nor does it use textures). Ensure your meshes are marked as "Static Bake", then enable SDFGI in the Environment settings. Will write an article about this soon. What can it do? How do you use it? How does it work?

Godot 3.3 has arrived, with a focus on optimization and reliability

Mircosoft Game Dev

It was reusing parts of the code for baking GIProbes, and that made it quick but not great in terms of quality. was still far away, so we tasked Joan Fons ( jfons ), as part of the GSoC program, to write a new CPU lightmapper for Godot 3.x. Back in summer 2019 we already knew Godot 4.0 More rendering improvements.

Cocos Creator 3.8 Post-Process Shader Writing (2/2) Advanced

Cocos

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. To create, we create a Cocos Shader file named “gaussian-blur.effect” and write the following. Note: In Cocos Creator 3.8.0,

GSoC 2022 - Progress report #1

Mircosoft Game Dev

We asked them to write a progress report to present what they're working on and the current status. x CPU lightmapper and adding a new debug draw mode for visualizing the texel density of lightmaps. Previously every LightmapGI node used to store its lightmap atlas in a single large image. Project overview and progress.

Godot 3.0 is out and ready for the big leagues

Mircosoft Game Dev

Just set up the probe bounds and do a fast pre-bake of static objects. No lightmaps or anything of the sort are required, providing a very quick and efficient workflow. For low-end systems or mobile devices, we provide a more classical lightmapping workflow. writing shaders is very easy! It's also very easy to use.
