How to Create a Game-Ready AAA asset

Logic Simplified

I used a Blinn Shader on the asset to spot any issues with the mesh. Blinn Shader helped me see highlights produced due to light shining off the surface at low angles. With that I have to create a low poly model of the gun on which we will bake the high poly details. They define how the texture wraps around the model.

Enhancing Mobile Game Performance: Essential VFX Techniques for Visual Excellence 

iXie gaming

Techniques such as using lower-resolution textures, controlling particle spawn rates, and optimizing the lifespan of particles can significantly reduce the load on the GPU. 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.

Godot 4.0 will get a new, modernized lightmapper

Mircosoft Game Dev

The new lightmapper is GPU based written mostly on Compute shaders (meaning it does most of the heavy lifting using the GPU, via Vulkan). Most scenes bake in seconds instead of minutes or hours. Efficiently packs all texture objects in the lightmap to a texture array, to avoid state or material changes during rendering.

Cocos Creator 3.7.2 Focuses On Optimized Rendering And Lighting Capabilities

Cocos

Editor • Support baking high-precision lighting maps to get a better baking effect. When the user turns on high-precision lightmap baking, 16-bit colors are used instead of 8-bit colors, and AO channels are baked separately. Improvements • Move the Light Bake entry from the top item settings menu to the panel menu. •

Introducing the new "last minute" lightmapper

Mircosoft Game Dev

This generally works and looks pretty, but it's quite shader intensive, which makes it not work on mobile or low end GPUs. The solution to these problems is to add support for a more traditional lightmapper (pre-baked light texture). Light is precomputed offline and rendered to a texture, which is then used by the geometry.

New improvements for GPUParticles in Godot 4.0

Mircosoft Game Dev

GPUParticles : Processes particles on GPU, allows very large amount of particles at little cost, and with ability to write custom particle shaders. x and the shader used is almost identical (should be easy to port). It can also be done from within a particle shader itself by chaining another particle system as a sub-emitter.
