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

AUGUST 16, 2023

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. To create, we create a Cocos Shader file named “gaussian-blur.effect” and write the following. Note: In Cocos Creator 3.8.0,

We asked them to write a progress report to present what they're working on and the current status. x CPU lightmapper and adding a new debug draw mode for visualizing the texel density of lightmaps. Previously every LightmapGI node used to store its lightmap atlas in a single large image. Project overview and progress.

supports advanced global illumination techniques such as lightmapping (including SH lightmapping), Voxel GI (which is fully real-time) and SDFGI (which is a single click, open world GI solution). I hope that this write up made more evident why Godot is such a key technology for the future of the game industry.

Godot 4.0 gets SDF based real-time global illumination

SDFGI is something akin to a dynamic real-time lightmap (but it does not requiere unwrapping, nor does it use textures). Will write an article about this soon. This new technique was developed entirely in the open and implemented under our MIT license, so anyone is welcome to use it in their own engines and games. What can it do?

was still far away, so we tasked Joan Fons ( jfons ), as part of the GSoC program, to write a new CPU lightmapper for Godot 3.x. The biggest difference with the old lightmapper is that the new one features proper path tracing, which results in better looking lightmaps. Back in summer 2019 we already knew Godot 4.0

Game developers often need to compile large amounts of C++ code, which requires lots of CPU resources, and developers also need to process other types of heavy compute tasks such as; shader compilation, rendering, asset creation, image conversion, lightmap baking and more.

No lightmaps or anything of the sort are required, providing a very quick and efficient workflow. For low-end systems or mobile devices, we provide a more classical lightmapping workflow. writing shaders is very easy! Both indirect light and voxel reflections are provided by this technique. It's also very easy to use.

When using Cinemachine, you don’t need to know how to write code, though coding is still essential for some components, such as scripting how a user zooms using a mouse wheel, for example. This basically means you can only bake lightmaps using a single machine. Who Would Be Interested in Unity Cinemachine?

Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. You can even create complex dynamic effects by writing custom shaders that operate on FogVolume nodes. We hope the new analyzers will help users avoid common pitfalls and write better code. Of course, the 4.0

Use baked lightmaps instead. GDScript allows to write code in a quick way within a controlled environment. Does not always catch errors during compile (or write) time. Support for root motion as well as the ability to write your own custom blend nodes has also been added. GIProbes of course don't work.

For the lack of a better and proven alternative I chose to generate those values on the CPU and writing them into a texture. Done May 2018. enviroment relections. cubemap filtering. implement BRDF. omni lights. lambert+phong. normal maps. rewrite OAHashMap to use RobinHood hashing. improved C++ bindings compilation workflow. finish lights.
