This article will delve into the principles and code of the static occlusion culling solution in Cocos Cyberpunk. That brings us to a highly cost-effective rendering performance optimization solution called （Static Occlusion Culling, SOC） implemented in Cocos Cyberpunk. Occlusion Culling Let’s start with the following figure.

This includes 2D physics interpolation and hierarchical culling, and 3D mesh merging, level of detail, tighter shadow culling, ORM materials, and more. After 2 years of development, Godot 3.6 is finally out and it comes fully packed with features and quality of life improvements!

In other threads I read that there was a macro to disable culling, but I don’t know where it is in cocos2dx 4.0. It is basically a tilemap moving in the opposite direction of the player to work as a camera that follows. But as you can see in the image, tiles are dissapearing.

Off-Screen Culling: Implementing culling for objects outside the screen can significantly boost performance by not rendering objects that are not visible to t. This allows for easier optimization and maintenance.

Off-Screen Culling: Implementing culling for objects outside the screen can significantly boost performance by not rendering objects that are not visible to the player. This allows for easier optimization and maintenance. This can be done by checking the position of objects relative to the camera or viewport before rendering them.

Unity’s Frustum Culling and Depth Rejection techniques help reduce the amount of geometry processed by discarding objects outside the camera’s view or hidden by others. GPU Occlusion Culling adds another layer of optimization by skipping objects that are occluded by other elements in the scene, thus reducing unnecessary vertex processing.

In fact, hardware transitions frequently served to thin the herd, with the cost increase being the final blow that saw many struggling publishers and developers shut their doors; the first couple of years of a new console generation could be generally expected to see such a cull. Read more.

Before getting into the GPU side, several optimizations have been done on the CPU side: Culling is now done in a brute-force way which is extremely cache efficient. Everything in the main frame is culled at the same time, objects, light cascades, SDFGI cascades, etc. These test do culling on 10k objects.

It lacks the ability to process mesh in a coarser grain than triangle, like meshlet culling. The underlying idea of the algorithm is, in the first place, to do culling, then draw the effective parts of mesh. With MeshShaders, the culling algorithms we use can be of great flexibility.

Culling is the keyword for this problem. Thanks so much! I changed this property & the mesh was rendered correctly I wonder why material “builtin standard” doesn’t support this natively but need to set manually?

My first task will be integrating an occlusion culling system into the new Vulkan renderer. While occlusion culling is not a silver bullet, it can give big performance improvements in a variety of scenes. Moving forward, and with my full focus on Godot development, my goal is to work on Godot's 3D rendering and help bring Godot 4.0

It worked, but there is another issue: if I checked culling in some areas, it didn’t render the base layer. If I unchecked culling, then it was going to lag the game.

The Swedish games conglomerate is in the midst of a bloody restructuring and has been culling its personnel expenses. Its share price jumped +11 percent after it reported better-than-expected operating profits in its second-quarter earnings. Similarly, Amazon Game Studio announced the termination of 180 jobs.

Static Occlusion Culling The fastest way to render an object is to simply not render it. In the Cocos Cyberpunk project, a culling technique called PVS-SOC ( which is short for Potential Visibility Set - Static Occlusion Culling) is used for culling objects out of camera view.

The compatibility backend is based on OpenGL ES 3.0 / OpenGL 3.3 / WebGL 2.0 and is intended to run on very old PC hardware as well as most older (still working) mobile phones.

What's more likely to happen is that they fund initial prototypes for several new game ideas, then approve the more promising ones and cull the rest. Most publishers won't fully fund projects from inception to completion unless they are well-established franchises (e.g. Call of Duty, Pokemon, Madden, etc.).

The first is that it uses a very large library of mine, most of which is not used in this engine, so I'd have to go though and cull out all the cruft, not to mention all the proprietary console crap. Releasing the engine source (c++) is problematic for a few reasons. I also use some third party source I don't have the rights to release.

Learning how to use occlusion culling will also help you in this case. In my projects at most, I use 4 cameras if I need to, but I try to make it less than that. When you need to break the rule here, always use the profiler to test things and see if the frame rate has changed.
