Realistic Lighting in Justice with Mesh Shading

Nvidia

MAY 21, 2021

His work focuses on the rendering engine in Justice, specifically GPU features enabled by DirectX 12. Soon we found we can combine Mesh Shaders with auto-generated LODs to achieve almost only-resolution-relevant rendering complexity, instead of polygon number. With MeshShaders, the culling algorithms we use can be of great flexibility.

This new system uses an "ubershader" (big shader supporting all features, slow but compiled on startup) to fill in for all shaders initially while the more efficient and material-specific shaders get compiled asynchronously, and cached for future runs. Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view. What is it?

beta builds every other week to ensure that new features can be tested, bugs can be reported and bugfixes can be validated. The backport was done while attempting to preserve API compatibility within reason, but the underlying behavior will change, mainly to provide a lot more features and flexibility. Like with 4.0 What is it?

This beta adds what should be the last batch of new features (together with a lot of bug fixes, as that's our focus at this stage), with scene unique node names and the new SceneTreeTween backported from Godot 4.0.

Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. The last remaining big feature is the new particle system, then everything else is simpler, and includes cleaning up the implemented techniques. If you are interested in seeing what each feature looks like in the code, you can check the gles3 branch on GitHub.
