Shader Debugging Made Easy with NVIDIA Nsight Graphics

Nvidia

Shaders are specialized programs that run on the GPU that manipulate rays, pixels, vertices, and textures to achieve unique visual effects. Shaders are specialized programs that run on the GPU that manipulate rays, pixels, vertices, and textures to achieve unique visual effects. We love shaders, but they can be hard to debug.

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

PreMortem.Games

At Unite 2024, Unity’s development team introduced a series of advanced GPU optimization techniques aimed at improving rendering performance across various platforms. One of the fundamental challenges in real-time rendering is reducing GPU latency to improve frame rate. Another important consideration is transparency.

Cocos Creator 3.8 Post-Process Shader Writing (2/2) Advanced

Cocos

Preface In the last article , Kylin shared how to add your own post-effect Shader in the custom render pipeline in Cocos Creator 3.8. Simply put, Gaussian blur takes every pixel on an image and processes it with the following process. Final pixel value = sum of all (pixels * weights). name : the effect’s name.

Godot 3's renderer design explained

Mircosoft Game Dev

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. 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. Running the whole graphics rendering in a separate thread.

Cocos Shader Tutorial 1.0 - about UV

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).

GLES2 and GDNative, progress report #7

Mircosoft Game Dev

depth rendering for shadow mapping. I will go more in-depth about shadow-mapping later, for now just know that in order to show shadows, the scene needs to be rendered from the perspective of each light and the result has to be saved. For the GLES2 renderer, I had to implement the interface for those shadow atlases.

The Best Tools to Improve Gameplay Performance

Nvidia

NVIDIA set out to redefine real-time rendering through AI-based super resolution — rendering a fraction of the original pixels and then using AI to reconstruct sharp, higher resolution images. This eliminates the GPU render queue and reduces CPU back pressure in GPU-bound scenarios.
