Texture and Model Glitches Errors in the texture and model of your game can significantly detract from the visual appeal of the game. For instance, texture glitches may involve gaming assets failing to load appropriately, leading to missing or blurry textures. This impacts player immersion negatively.

Almost every 3D asset is painted using only one atlas texture. As I mentioned before – almost every 3D object uses the same atlas texture. We tried to solve this issue with Unity’s Line Renderer, but that tool doesn’t allow to do it properly. They are textured using the same atlas map and need to fit into the grid size.

Instead of computing the amount of light that reaches a certain surface every frame for every light source, we precompute all this information and store it in a single texture. The process of generating light map texture coordinates takes a while, and it was being triggered on every scene reimport.

Luckily both engines offer asset stores that allow users to download free and paid props, shading, textures, and many more.

Especially in hybrid rendering, where G-buffer or shadow maps are rasterized, it’s potentially beneficial to execute AS building on async compute. In hybrid rendering, using the same LOD for rasterization and ray tracing can be considered. Use them only when it is required to get the correct rendering result.
