Overdraw optimization In cases where the GPU is pixel-bound, a common cause is overdraw, where pixels are shaded multiple times in a frame. This increases the likelihood of multiple passes being applied to the same pixel, taxing the GPU even more. Another important consideration is transparency.

The vertical axes of textures and picture pixels is shown above, when sampling textures in shaders, that is from top to bottom, which is top-right corner. This is consistent with how most image file formats store pixel data, and with how most graphics APIs work (including DirectX, Vulkan, Metal, WebGPU, but not OpenGL).

Mobile GPUs are very different from desktop GPU, to make better use of limited access to fast memory mobile GPUs use a tile based architecture. This means that the render buffer is divided into smaller tiles. All geometry is processed first while the GPU keeps track of which triangles need to be rendered to each tile.

I have a tiledmap made in Tiled which uses a png spritesheet, without using.plist or any kind data file for the spritesheet. Spritesheet has 48*48 pixel tiles and Tiled uses those tiles. I have the tmx and tsx files. CocosCreator.app/Contents/Resources/resources/3d/engine/bin/.cache/dev/editor/bundled/index.js:70169:47)

In that project, we had some unique challenges thanks to a non-square board where tiles were optional. In addition we had to consider tile heights – and whether or not a unit could jump as high as needed. In contrast, the pathfinding in this lesson will be for a 2D square board with no missing tiles.

The concept is simple, though does require that text characters take up about half the width that tiles do, which can be a little restrictive at certain sizes. Notice how the tiles in this Cogmind screenshot each occupy two cells, delineated by the partial grid overlay. Big chonker tile has arrived. No crashes, just big tiles.

NVIDIA DLSS Plugin for UE4 DLSS is a deep learning super resolution network that boosts frame rates by rendering fewer pixels and then using AI to construct sharp, higher resolution images. The NVIDIA RTX UE4 4.25 branches have also received updates. Updates to NVIDIA RTX UE 4.25 The new NVIDIA UE 4.25 and UE4.26.1,

Instead there are many layers of cell data from different subconsoles that feed into a single root console which is then converted to the final image. Something in between 1.0x
