[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.

I quickly felt at home and I started focusing on 3D editor and rendering contributions. Moving forward, and with my full focus on Godot development, my goal is to work on Godot's 3D rendering and help bring Godot 4.0 My first task will be integrating an occlusion culling system into the new Vulkan renderer. finish line.

And even before an era of SRPs (Scriptable Render Pipelines), there was a good amount of solid features like today’s topic: Render textures. In this post I’m going to explain to you how to use render textures in your game. using legacy rendering, but the features I used work in SRPs too. What is a Render Texture.

FEBRUARY 1, 2021

As most of the rendering features for the upcoming Godot 4.0 are done, I have spent the past two months optimizing the rendering engine, both on the CPU and GPU side. All this work has resulted in significantly faster rendering times. A lot of the render state is now better cached, so less is done at render time.
