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

Cocos

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.

Latest NVIDIA OptiX Renders Ray Tracing Faster Than Ever Before

Nvidia

Deserted house in the night, rendered In RedShift. The payload registers are the mechanism NVIDIA OptiX offers for passing arbitrary data along with a ray, from the caller that traces a ray, and back. The new payload size provides a greater variety of applications to be able to take advantage of using only registers for passing data.

NVIDIA DLSS Plugin and Reflex Now Available for Unreal Engine

Nvidia

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

Nvidia

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"
