Introduction and index of this series is here. The previous post investigated some lossless filtering of data, before passing it to a regular compression library. Our result so far is: 94.5MB of data can get filtered+compressed down to 23.0MB in one second (split/shuffle bytes, delta encode, zstd or kraken compression).

Maybe it looks faster at the moment but I'm not sure about more complicated meshes. For GPU wise, I could disable pre pass depth and leave RTOC only. On the other hand, RTOC is still experimental. Need to find more assets and test them!

This chapter is all about how I solved it (so far) to be able to place all kinds of assets like 3D-meshes or self-growing fractal seeds on the terrain. Let’s assume we do it for each vertex on a mesh with let’s say 10’000 vertices.   Asset placement - depending on mesh height vertices. Before we start.

Parallel mesh processing for instance data generation. Better GPU utilization using batched vertex data processing for dynamic meshes.

I am currently working on the skeletal meshes and I have a small bug that is taking me awhile to track down. Hello all, I am currently working with a firm where I am developing a program that will convert their old assets to a new format, FBX. For this model, there is a random bone rotation and one of the legs is misplaced.

You can try this solution by mounting an empty node on the weapon node hierarchy and then setting the rotation on this node.

Hello there, I have made a weapon stick to a user’s hand, using the ‘sockets’ property on skeletalanimation component. I’m wondering is there a way to add a constant rotation transform to this newly created socket. Want to rotate this axe -90 degrees on Z axis so the player is weilding it correctly.

colors is the number array so I feel you should push RGB values separately, You can try replacing colors.push( color ); colors.push( color); colors.push( color); with colors.push(color.r, color.b); Also be sure you have ticked the USE VERTEX COLOR property for the material.

I consider to do such 2D simulations on the surface of quadrangulated meshes, and expect it would cause noticeable artifacts on singular vertices, forcing me to factor in the parametric stretch into the simulation. I guess you use a cube map tiling, so at 8 points there meet 3 tiles instead 4 as usual.

Digital sculpting software, however, uses an extremely high-resolution polygon mesh (or a voxel grid). This mesh can be modeled like traditional clay with a vast array of tools, giving modelers more freedom and flexibility in their work. This is similar to the limitations of physical sculptures.

This seems to be the only documentation available, but it does not mention how to define the instanced attribute for access.

The color changes based on what is behind the billboard: The ‘water’ behind the white icon is a plane mesh I can bring the icon back to normal color by compromising the water material (see next reply) By test case i am assuming a way to recreate, I simply created a node with a billboard component and used a sprite as the texture.

The navigation mesh was a separate layer of points and links with its own custom editing mode. Second, I added a panel with the sorely needed list of all entities in a level. It automatically pans the camera to the selected entity and the next tab shows all its properties. I converted the navpoints into regular game entities.

Ideally, of course, a game’s setting should mesh well with its theme, but we need to stop conflating the two by being careless with our language. This time around, I am tackling whether our games actually succeed at addressing their true themes and, furthermore, if we have any idea what we are doing as game designers.

In order to understand them and become a wizard/witch, we have to learn a bit about meshes first. A mesh is made (usually!) You can see the mesh as the structure of your object, built by combining its triangles together. Now that we’ve scratched the topic of meshes, we can finally talk about shader. Shaders Theory.
