x branch of Ogre aka ogre-next and I wrote Betsy, a GPU texture compressor that runs on GPUs. This work was commissioned by Godot Engine through the Software Freedom Conservancy to solve a major complaint: importing textures is excruciantly slow and takes many minutes. What is texture compression and why you care. ktx A.etc2.ktx

Brief Analysis of Deferred Rendering Two Main Steps 1、Preparation（Geometry Rendering） In this phase, the basic information needed for the lighting calculation of the model is rendered and stored in different render textures. As we can see, in Deferred Rendering, the calculation of a pixel’s color is uniformly performed in the lighting phase.

Given GLES2 isn't going to disappear any time soon due to low end mobile devices, we still need to support it for a few more years to come. This ensures great compatibility with all desktop PCs, mobile devices and WebGL 2. Detect when shaders read from screen texture and automatically copy screen to back-buffer on demand.

Shadow atlases exist for Spot and Omni lights (Directional uses its own texture, and multiple directional lights need several passes). How the atlas texture is organized is up to the user, though the default is sensible enough to work in most cases. Atlas cells are assigned according to their size in pixels on the screen (e.g.

For an upcoming project commission, I'm making a 2D game with crowd simulation and simple controls that works well on mobile browsers. Here was my thought process: Unity WebGL: way too heavy and slow for mobile browsers, and maybe overkill for a no-physics 2D game anyway. Warning: this is a fairly technical game developer-y post.
