[Tutorial]Static-Occlusion-Culling, A great solution for improving culling performance during rendering - Guide to Cocos Cyberpunk Source Code

MAY 14, 2023

The fastest way to render a model is not to render it at all. This article will delve into the principles and code of the static occlusion culling solution in Cocos Cyberpunk. SOC is a type of Precomputed Visibility Culling (PVC) implementation and has been a technique widely used in game development for over 20 years.

NVIDIA DLSS Plugin for UE4 DLSS is a deep learning super resolution network that boosts frame rates by rendering fewer pixels and then using AI to construct sharp, higher resolution images. DLSS pairs perfectly with computationally intensive rendering algorithms such as real-time ray tracing. Updates to NVIDIA RTX UE 4.25 and UE4.26.1,

Unlocking GPU Intrinsics in HLSL

NOVEMBER 21, 2023

For example, a shader can use warp shuffle instructions to exchange data between threads in a warp without going through shared memory, which is especially valuable in pixel shaders where there is no shared memory. For example, warp shuffle can be used to optimize memory access in algorithms like light culling. include "nvHLSLExtns.h"

His work focuses on the rendering engine in Justice, specifically GPU features enabled by DirectX 12. Our first thought is to render some highly detailed models which may need insane number of triangles. It lacks the ability to process mesh in a coarser grain than triangle, like meshlet culling. And we decided to try it out.

has an entirely new rendering architecture, which is divided into modern and compatibility backends. The modern one does rendering via RenderingDevice (which is implemented in drivers such as Vulkan, Direct3D 12, and more in the future). Rendering is significantly more efficient in Godot 4.0, Low level rendering access.

Best Practices for Using NVIDIA RTX Ray Tracing (Updated)

Nvidia

JULY 25, 2022

Especially in hybrid rendering, where G-buffer or shadow maps are rasterized, it’s potentially beneficial to execute AS building on async compute. It can be directly in the AS build calls or in some related task like the culling of the objects. Cull instances for TLAS. Instead, cull instances depending on the situation.

This order of events can't be escaped, as logic affects physics and rendering needs both information from logic and physics to display. Rendering, while mostly a sequential process (GPUs are sequential), can be parallelized in a few places, like frustum culling and (in modern APIs such as Vulkan, Metal or DirectX12) creation of command lists.
