Mainly I focused on generating grass that bends in the wind and some fern like plants, but what comes next is usable for all kind of meshes. Batching means to combine mesh objects that share the same material or that are marked as static in the Unity inspector. In my case I had terrible FPS with just some thousand mesh instances.

mesh loading. basic mesh drawing. It was a joy to be there and talk with other people about things we love - free and open source software and game development! While a most of the 2D engine was already working, some bugs kept the editor from being fully usable and also caused problems in regular game projects.

Heyyy, this pretty much looks like the sky projected onto the meshes, that's better! At that point of development, the sky reflection didn't respond to the camera position, so it basically looked like the sky was painted ontop of the mesh.

CG Spectrum graduate Hanny Lu talks about her experience studying Unreal Connectors: Virtual Production , a 12-week micro-credentialing program created in partnership with Epic Games. I started with Gaea for landscape creation, then did the texturing in Unreal Engine. I am originally from China and recently moved to Iceland.

Designing the game world's creatures. I realised this for myself when trying to make a character for my game and the traditional way of setting up a skeleton (the sketches in the white box of the image) just gave me over and over again similar results. Sounds a bit weird, but I think everyone did this as a kid.      96.

The material is what you set to 2D nodes or to 3D meshes in order to draw them. Global uniforms are immensely useful in games, because they allow you to change the behavior of a lot of shaders at the same time. Modern games have so much grass, yet you can do precise cuts to it, burn it, etc. thanks to two new features!

One of the most eagerly awaited 2D features has been batching of drawcalls, and it is something myself ( lawnjelly ) and Clay ( clayjohn ) have spent several weeks researching and coming up with a reasonable implementation, that should hopefully significantly increase performance in a lot of 2D games. How it works. Let us know your results!

The new 3D renderer is state-of-the-art, with features rarely see in game engines today, such as: Full principled BSDF. Still, this workflow is easy and efficient as 3D objects get a second set of UVs generated on import, and baking works with instantiated meshes, scenes and even GridMaps. Still, Godot 3.0 within a few weeks.

Instead of computing the amount of light that reaches a certain surface every frame for every light source, we precompute all this information and store it in a single texture. The process of generating light map texture coordinates takes a while, and it was being triggered on every scene reimport. Student: Suhas Prasanna ( psuhas77 ).

This post gathers best practices based on our experiences so far using NVIDIA RTX ray tracing in games. Consider representing mesh particles as instances in TLAS. For particles rendered as triangle meshes, having a unique instance for each particle can be a reasonable solution. Instances should share the base mesh BLAS.

For example, here is a view of Crytek's popular Sponza scene (well, popular among graphics developers). What makes the approach so fast is that you only calculate lighting for the cells in the froxel buffer and then, when drawing meshes, you only need to look up the fog value from the froxel buffer.
