Cocos Shader Tutorial 1.0 - about UV

FEBRUARY 16, 2023

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.

Weird Texture issue

Cocos

AUGUST 30, 2023

I have a 2d tiled game. On my latest game, I have a weird issue with texture and I have no idea why I have this ( I could only reproduce it once but players do find it from time to time). Suddenly, when the player plays, the screen goes all wrong as if all the textures were now corrupted. Ok so here is the deal.

Hennig was on hand to not only introduce the game, but also show off some new Unreal Engine effects featured in the game, like a Nanite adaptive tessellation feature that allows developers to later tile textures and use shader logic to create complex environment effects like foot prints or tire tracks in real-time with a minimum of geometry.

Spent some time tinkering with shaders. It doesn’t tile properly but the seam is hard to notice so I’m fine with it. I also tried distortion for the bottom layer but UV wrapping is a problem because the tiles are in a texture atlas. Maybe next time…

Everything is just one big texture. This gives me freedom in level design and saves work making tiles… tileable. The custom terrain shader uses the z-channel to draw water in lower areas of the level. Interactive elements will be placed using the in-game editor. So it’s RGBZ.

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.

Accelerating Load Times for DirectX Games and Apps with GDeflate for DirectStorage

Nvidia

NOVEMBER 7, 2022

To show the benefits of GDeflate, we measured system performance without compression, with standard CPU-side decompression, and with GPU-accelerated GDeflate decompression on a representative game-focused dataset, containing texture and geometry data. This also enables random access to the compressed data at tile granularity.

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. Every part must be set accordingly to the tiles, that size is 30x30x10.

In addition to the new curve primitive, NVIDIA OptiX has added an option for controlling whether cubic and quadratic curves will have open or closed ends.

The engine should be able to render and simulate 200+ lightweight game objects -- frame-animated sprites with simple collision, no fancy physics or shaders. However, it has been designed for a fairly specific use case: tile-based pixel art platformers. (Reminder: for iOS, that means WebGL 1.0 and no WASM.) I didn't try to find out.
