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. However, based on the BlitScreen solution, we can only write the simplest post-effect Shader. Today Kylin will use Gaussian blur to demonstrate how to write a multi-pass post-effect shader.

Godot 4.0 will get a new, modernized lightmapper

Mircosoft Game Dev

Lightmaps offer significant advantages over any other technique when the following requirements are met: Performance above anything else (for mobile, lightmaps are still a must-have). If these requirements are met, then lightmapping is probably the best for you. Lighting will not change (lights won't move). lightmapper.

Introducing the new "last minute" lightmapper

Mircosoft Game Dev

This generally works and looks pretty, but it's quite shader intensive, which makes it not work on mobile or low end GPUs. The biggest challenge of this workflow is not the lightmap itself, but the fact that it should be easy to use (which is Godot's #1 design priority). The smaller this value, the bigger the lightmaps will be.
