The vertical axes of textures and picture pixels is shown above, when sampling textures in shaders, that is from top to bottom, which is top-right corner. If your previous development experience is based on OpenGL, you may find that the texture on your grid is vertically flipped. to make the color in bottom darker.

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. For shaders, I used Amplify Shader Editor to add some visual effects on top of the render texture.

We’re not really doing anything with shaders or post processing in the tutorial, so depending on where you want to take the tutorial later, its really up to you which you choose. Resources just feels like it should be things like 3d Models and Textures, but if you want to stick with the original, that’s fine.

Almost every 3D asset is painted using only one atlas texture. As I mentioned before – almost every 3D object uses the same atlas texture. We created 4 UV sets of each car and wrote a shader that swaps them. To solve the problem we rearranged the mesh and added some edge loops along track parts.

In order to deform the mesh according to the bone transforms, each vertex (generally "point of a triangle") can be influenced by up to 4 bones. The actual deformation usually happens in the vertex shader , where the bone transforms get looked up from a texture. (In In rendering, textures are used for sooo many things.

Introducing the new "last minute" lightmapper

Mircosoft Game Dev

DECEMBER 13, 2017

This generally works and looks pretty, but it's quite shader intensive, which makes it not work on mobile or low end GPUs. The solution to these problems is to add support for a more traditional lightmapper (pre-baked light texture). Light is precomputed offline and rendered to a texture, which is then used by the geometry.
