Overdraw optimization In cases where the GPU is pixel-bound, a common cause is overdraw, where pixels are shaded multiple times in a frame. Overdraw can lead to excessive GPU workload, particularly in scenes with transparent materials, which don’t typically write to the depth buffer.

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. Consider writing a safe default value to unused payload fields.

Rendering: Portal occlusion culling. Portal occlusion culling. Up till now a significant missing feature in the renderer has been the ability to cull (prevent rendering) objects that are within the camera view, but occluded by another object (for instance a wall). Core: Promote object validity checks to release builds.

This document was written in hopes to find more developers that would like to help us write rendering code, as it explains the overall design. They allow very high-budget games to run better and, in the long run, make the job of writing drivers MUCH simpler to hardware manufacturers. in only 4k lines of code!) Full code completion.

The Android plugin documentation has been updated with instructions on how to write plugins for this new system. Core: Fixed false positives in the culling system ( GH-37863 ). Windows: Per-pixel transparency no longer lets mouse events pass-through ( GH-39914. Porting existing 3.2 plugins should be fairly straightforward.
