Godot for AA/AAA game development - What's missing?

Mircosoft Game Dev

using data oriented algorithms to process the culling of objects and both secondary command buffers and automatic batching to efficiently submit the draw primitives. Cars/people in city simulators, where thousands appear all across the city. Sandbox style simulations. Rendering is significantly more efficient in Godot 4.0,

Realistic Lighting in Justice with Mesh Shading

Nvidia

It lacks the ability to process mesh in a coarser grain than triangle, like meshlet culling. The underlying idea of the algorithm is, in the first place, to do culling, then draw the effective parts of mesh. With MeshShaders, the culling algorithms we use can be of great flexibility.

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. Use face culling only when required for correctness.

Visualizing Depth Precision

Nvidia

So it’s easy to interpolate d across a triangle while rasterizing, and things like hierarchical Z-buffers, early Z-culling, and depth buffer compression are all a lot easier to do. For illustrative purposes, I’m simulating a 4-bit normalized integer depth buffer, so there are 16 evenly-spaced tick marks. with numpy.

Setting the Mood: Exploring Lighting and Mood in Game Art

Simulates how light bounces between surfaces, making lighting look more natural and filling in dark areas. Optimize your lighting by using techniques like Levels of Detail (LODs) and culling. Rasterization. Faster but less realistic, it determines colors based on how much of each pixel is covered by light. Texture Compression.
