Simply put, Gaussian blur takes every pixel on an image and processes it with the following process. To put it bluntly, it’s a simple weighted sum: while sampling the target pixel, sample some of the surrounding pixels and give each pixel a weight (the sum of the weights is 1.0). version : meaningless, can be ignored.

A DirectionalLight needs their own space, but using single textures for each other light would be pretty wasteful, so what is used as an optimization is a Shadow Atlas. As mentioned before, in order to know which pixels are "in a shadow" and which are lit, the scene has to be rendered from the viewpoint of the light.

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.

However, it has been designed for a fairly specific use case: tile-based pixel art platformers. But imagine a game with hundreds of different texture files, which all need to be packaged at different resolutions for different platforms! I didn't try to find out. but the workflow here is really unclear to me.

Avoid direct conversion from vertex and pixel shaders. Generally, I don’t recommend converting vertex and pixel shaders directly to hit shaders. Load vertex indices, vertex data, and sample textures. Use NVIDIA Nsight Graphics for profiling and debugging. Consider moving common code outside of hit and miss shaders.
