Unlike previous formats, USD compositions can be used to edit data in a non-destructive manner. Even data containing unique specifications for games can be transferred back and forth between various tools without losing data. It is necessary to understand the USD specifications, data structure, API specifications, and so on.

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. Updated from the original 2016 post to add information about new intrinsics and cross-vendor APIs in DirectX and Vulkan.

SER is a performance optimization that unlocks the potential for better ray and memory coherency in ray tracing shaders and thus increased shading efficiency. Background Shading divergence is a long-standing problem in ray tracing. You do not have to allocate or bind a resource for this.

This is a challenging task, even in cinematic rendering, because it is difficult to find all the paths of light that contribute meaningfully to an image. Solving this problem through brute force requires hundreds, sometimes thousands of paths per pixel, but this is far too expensive for real-time rendering.

This means having lots of lights no longer creates a performance hit on the rendering pipeline, since all we need to do is sample a single texture and we get the amount of light coming from all light sources. I'm currently working on integrating Embree as a ray tracing library into the Godot editor. Current progress. Next steps.
