Another essential tool, the Shader Graph heatmap, provides a visual estimate of the cost associated with different Shader Graph nodes. Developers can leverage this feedback to make informed decisions when optimizing shader programs. Unity introduced Solid Angle Culling as an optimization to mitigate this overhead.

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.

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.

Editor: Fix import of AtlasTextures with semi-transparent pixels ( GH-35363 ). Rendering: Fix shadow culling with orthogonal camera and wrong VIEWPORT_SIZE shader builtin ( GH-35406 ). Notable changes since RC 2: Android: Virtual keyboard now respects LineEdit max length ( GH-35438 ). Core/Editor: Various memory leaks fixed.

For example: On GLES3+ we can use UBOs to optimize shader parameters. Shader abstraction. This may sound like the obvious way of doing things but, in truth, it creates a big bottleneck on allowing users to write shaders. Users need to learn not only the language, but how the engine internals work regarding shaders.

Rendering: Rooms and portals-based occlusion culling ( GH-46130 ). Shaders: Add support for structs and fragment-to-light varyings ( GH-48075 ). Android: Implement per-pixel transparency ( GH-51935 ). Particles: Fixed rotate_y property of particle shaders ( GH-46687 ). In-depth documentation is available.
