NetEase Thunder Fire Games Uses Mesh Shading To Create Beautiful Game Environments for Justice In December, we interviewed Haiyong Qian, NetEase Game Engine. Recently, NetEase introduced Mesh Shader support to Justice. To learn more about the implementation and results, we sat down with Yuheng Zou, game engine developer at NetEase.

Let's hope this implementation will also be of use to others making their own technology or engines, so they can use it as reference or just copy it. The new lightmapper is GPU based written mostly on Compute shaders (meaning it does most of the heavy lifting using the GPU, via Vulkan). Features of the new Godot 4.0 lightmapper.
