Use Compressed Textures : Textured images can be saved with lower resolutions while compressed formats such as ASTC and DXT1 and DXT5 reduce memory usage without quality reduction. Texture Atlasing combines multiple textures into one atlas to lower the number of texture switches that occur.

Additionally, a 3D vector field texture can be provided for use with vector fields generated in Maya or other tools. They are dynamic and can be moved around in real-time, colliding with any particle system which matches the cull mask. Baked SDF Collision. It bakes an area of a custom resolution as a signed distance field.

Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. It must be pre-baked for dynamic scenario geometry, but it offers support for full dynamic lights and dynamic objects. Implement post process effects: DOF Blur, Bloom and Tone Mapping. TODO for Milestone #4 (January 2017). Add Layered/Stencil rendering. Implement Decals.

Baked Lighting. These are pre-made textures that store lighting info for objects that don’t move. Texture Compression. Makes texture files smaller, speeding up loading times and using less memory. Optimize your lighting by using techniques like Levels of Detail (LODs) and culling. Voxel Cone Tracing.

At the end of the day, the use case where Vulkan and DirectX12 make the most sense is when you have hundreds of thousands of objects, which are all different (different geometry, textures, etc.), Detect when shaders read from screen texture and automatically copy screen to back-buffer on demand. On a texture, a dual paraboloid is used.

I just toggled the “Baked Pivots” option in the shader to ON. Subdividing the mesh in Cinema4D’s sculpting mode and baking a displacement map works great. The foliage shader has an alpha cutout value and uses a texture + culling set to off (it is visible from both sides of the planes).

It was reusing parts of the code for baking GIProbes, and that made it quick but not great in terms of quality. Also, the new lightmapper brings support for denoising using Open Image Denoise , which results in better-looking lightmaps in the same bake time range. Various light culling fixes.

Just set up the probe bounds and do a fast pre-bake of static objects. Still, this workflow is easy and efficient as 3D objects get a second set of UVs generated on import, and baking works with instantiated meshes, scenes and even GridMaps. Both indirect light and voxel reflections are provided by this technique. Still, Godot 3.0
