Then set the pixels per unit to 64 and click apply to update the sprites. Finally we update the culling mask and remove the default layer by clicking on it. Full Unity 2D Game Tutorial 2019 – Mini Map Render Texture. In order to do that we first need to make a render texture. This will display our render texture.

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. x, u1 mov r3.yz,

Rendering: Portal occlusion culling. Portal occlusion culling. Up till now a significant missing feature in the renderer has been the ability to cull (prevent rendering) objects that are within the camera view, but occluded by another object (for instance a wall). Core: Promote object validity checks to release builds.

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. For example, consider culling based on an expanded camera frustum. Use face culling only when required for correctness.

Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. Shadow atlases exist for Spot and Omni lights (Directional uses its own texture, and multiple directional lights need several passes). How the atlas texture is organized is up to the user, though the default is sensible enough to work in most cases.

At the end of the day, the use case where Vulkan and DirectX12 make the most sense is when you have hundreds of thousands of objects, which are all different (different geometry, textures, etc.), Detect when shaders read from screen texture and automatically copy screen to back-buffer on demand. On a texture, a dual paraboloid is used.
