Utilizing Shaders Wisely Shaders are powerful tools that can enhance the visual quality of a game, but they can also be demanding on mobile devices. To balance performance and quality, it’s essential to use shaders judiciously. Techniques like pre-computed lighting and baked animations can also reduce the computational load.

For example: On GLES3+ we can use UBOs to optimize shader parameters. Shader abstraction. This may sound like the obvious way of doing things but, in truth, it creates a big bottleneck on allowing users to write shaders. Users need to learn not only the language, but how the engine internals work regarding shaders.

We created 4 UV sets of each car and wrote a shader that swaps them. A baking light map wouldn’t help either (trees are moveable objects – can be hit by cars passing by), so the only reasonable option was to decrease the number of polys. As I mentioned before – almost every 3D object uses the same atlas texture.
