What Is a Shader? Since the main premise of this effect is going to be a shader, we’ll start with explaining what a shader is. A shader is a script where you write code that determines how the colors will be rendered based on various scenarios like lighting and material configuration.

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.

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.

The most complex is mesh streaming , which generally needs to be implemented together with a GPU culling strategy to ensure that very large amounts of models can be drawn at no CPU cost.

Flagging instances or geometries as opaque allows uninterrupted hardware intersection search and prevents invocation of the any-hit shader. Enable the use of any-hit shaders only for those geometries that need it; for example, to do alpha testing. Consider representing mesh particles as instances in TLAS.

Visual shader editor. Some shader features will not work and throw an error when used (which is to be expected when using an older OpenGL version). As this back-end is intended to run on the lowest end hardware possible, shaders need to be kept very small. Does not always catch errors during compile (or write) time.

Finally, the way light shaders now works is more user friendly to creating custom lighting shaders. The 2D material system is back, so writing custom shaders works with the new Vulkan renderer.

Just drop some images in and drag them onto the canvas, attach a script, write a few lines of GDScript and you've got the beginning of a game.
