And even before an era of SRPs (Scriptable Render Pipelines), there was a good amount of solid features like today’s topic: Render textures. In this post I’m going to explain to you how to use render textures in your game. using legacy rendering, but the features I used work in SRPs too.

As a reminder, an OpenGL-based renderer is still crucial so we can support older platforms, and Web export.

What is happening here is that the positions are being downcast into single-precision floats before being sent to the GPU for rendering. So on the GPU we are still using single-precision and the end result as far as rendering goes is the same as if we were using single-precision. Doubles in Shaders. So how does it work?

Some ray-traced effects, like reflections or shadows, require support for out-of-frustum objects for rendering accuracy. Technically, you can use shader atomic increments to account for all the rays on each frame if needed. This way, you can process many dynamic meshes sharing the same shader using a single Dispatch call.
