Advanced GPU optimization techniques in Unity 6 • Insights from Unite 2024

PreMortem.Games

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.

Unlocking GPU Intrinsics in HLSL

Nvidia

For example, warp shuffle can be used to optimize memory access in algorithms like light culling. Realistic use cases of the intrinsics in graphics applications are usually complicated. Floating-point atomics are used in VXGI to accumulate emittance during voxelization. These functions are just algorithms built on top of other intrinsics.

Setting the Mood: Exploring Lighting and Mood in Game Art 

iXie gaming

Example: Soft light from a computer screen) There are two main methods to calculate lighting quality: Ray Tracing. Optimize your lighting by using techniques like Levels of Detail (LODs) and culling. Spreads light from a flat surface, offering softer illumination than point lights. Rasterization. Texture Compression.
