using data oriented algorithms to process the culling of objects and both secondary command buffers and automatic batching to efficiently submit the draw primitives. This is needed for some types of game mechanics such as: Projectiles (bullet hell for example). GPUParticlesMaterial resource (or even an optional dedicated shader).

Backpack Battles Backpack Battles decided to make inventory management the main game mechanic. There is just something about the frustratingly fun mechanics of Arctic Eggs that captured quite an audience who are we to judge your taste? Turn-based mechanics and an RPG flavor round off the experience.

For example, a shader can use warp shuffle instructions to exchange data between threads in a warp without going through shared memory, which is especially valuable in pixel shaders where there is no shared memory. Or a shader can perform atomic additions on half-precision floating-point numbers in global memory. x, u1 mov r3.yz,

The payload registers are the mechanism NVIDIA OptiX offers for passing arbitrary data along with a ray, from the caller that traces a ray, and back. This payload mechanism is very lightweight, similar to passing arguments to a function. Improved customization and performance NVIDIA OptiX 7.4

You can even create complex dynamic effects by writing custom shaders that operate on FogVolume nodes. is introducing sky shaders which allow users to create dynamic skies that update in real time (including reflections). For more information see the article introducing sky shaders. For other atmospheric effects, Godot 4.0

It can be directly in the AS build calls or in some related task like the culling of the objects. Cull instances for TLAS. Instead, cull instances depending on the situation. For example, consider culling based on an expanded camera frustum. Moving the CPU work to one or more worker threads is potentially beneficial.
