This article will delve into the principles and code of the static occlusion culling solution in Cocos Cyberpunk. This approach enables our games to efficiently eliminate unseen static objects during rendering, reducing the rendering load and enhancing game performance. I hope to help you advance further in 3D game development.

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.

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.
