From Concept to Completion: Navigating the Game Art Production Pipeline 

iXie gaming

A well-defined art style, whether realistic, stylized, or pixel-based, guides asset complexity, rendering performance, and development timelines. Why it matters: Efficient UV mapping and normal map baking allow high-detail textures to be applied to low-poly models, preserving visual fidelity without unnecessary computational overhead.

NVIDIA Research: Learning and Rendering Dynamic Global Illumination with One Tiny Neural Network in Real-Time

Solving this problem through brute force requires hundreds, sometimes thousands of paths per pixel, but this is far too expensive for real-time rendering. They overcome the limited realism of pre-computing “baked” lighting in dynamic worlds and simplify an otherwise tedious lighting design process.

Godot 3's renderer design explained

Mircosoft Game Dev

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. and which move. Opaque sort.
