Hennig was on hand to not only introduce the game, but also show off some new Unreal Engine effects featured in the game, like a Nanite adaptive tessellation feature that allows developers to later tile textures and use shader logic to create complex environment effects like foot prints or tire tracks in real-time with a minimum of geometry.

This work was commissioned by Godot Engine through the Software Freedom Conservancy to solve a major complaint: importing textures is excruciantly slow and takes many minutes. What is texture compression and why you care.

I used a Blinn Shader on the asset to spot any issues with the mesh. Blinn Shader helped me see highlights produced due to light shining off the surface at low angles. Then I unwrapped the low poly mesh model into three UV sets in order to get a good resolution of the textures. They define how the texture wraps around the model.

Godot shader language is one of the easiest ones to use of any engine. Letting visual shaders aside, the shading language is a very tidy and self-contained version of GLSL ES 3.0, Shaders can take take inputs, modify them and produce outputs.

For instance, Unreal Engine uses a mechanism known as the Derived Data Cache (DDC) for this purpose. The Derived Data Cache in Unreal Engine serves as a storage mechanism for data that is computationally expensive to generate. Setting up a cloud-based shared Derived Data Cache offers scalability for your Unreal Engine projects.

About shaders. For most game developers, shaders are this scary monster that presents itself with such a complexity that it seems out of reach. In reality, shaders are quite simple by default and just get more complex the more you add to them. The following OpenGL code sends the sprite to the shader for drawing: OpenGL Commands.

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. Rendering engineers are rare to find, so this can be a starting point. For example: On GLES3+ we can use UBOs to optimize shader parameters. Shader abstraction. On GLES2, regular uniforms are used.
