DLSS uses advanced AI rendering to produce image quality comparable to native resolution, and in some cases even better quality, while only conventionally rendering a fraction of the pixels. Balancing quality and performance is done by controlling the game’s internal rendering resolution.

Balancing pros and cons, it's probably not worth implementing it, but the door is open for it. On objects that provide their own baked AO, this value is harcoded to 0, to avoid SSAO from interfering with them. This allows beautiful mixing between baked and real-time. Produces ghosting effects in many situations.

A well-defined art style, whether realistic, stylized, or pixel-based, guides asset complexity, rendering performance, and development timelines. Tools like ZBrush, Blender, and Maya help maintain a balance between detail and efficiency. LOD optimization to balance quality and performance.

Simply put, Gaussian blur takes every pixel on an image and processes it with the following process. To put it bluntly, it’s a simple weighted sum: while sampling the target pixel, sample some of the surrounding pixels and give each pixel a weight (the sum of the weights is 1.0).

Faster but less realistic, it determines colors based on how much of each pixel is covered by light. Baked Lighting. Too much can make the game look washed out or fake, so aim for a balance that fits the game’s overall artistic vision. Balance Realism and Performance. Rasterization. Voxel Cone Tracing.
