This starts from mesh instance selection and their data. This starts from mesh instance selection and their data processing towards optimized tracing and shading of every hit that you encounter. Parallel mesh processing for instance data generation. Better GPU utilization using batched vertex data processing for dynamic meshes.

The vertical axes of textures and picture pixels is shown above, when sampling textures in shaders, that is from top to bottom, which is top-right corner. This is consistent with how most image file formats store pixel data, and with how most graphics APIs work (including DirectX, Vulkan, Metal, WebGPU, but not OpenGL).

In order to understand them and become a wizard/witch, we have to learn a bit about meshes first. A mesh is made (usually!) You can see the mesh as the structure of your object, built by combining its triangles together. UVs are also called texture coordinates and they let you map textures on your objects.

We repeat that same process for the Main Texture of the material, and the Occlude Color which will be the color of the game object behind other objects when it has this material attached on it. Again we have the properties which is a texture and a color declared on lines 4 and 5. Then we give it a type – Color.

In today's post, I'd like to show you how to retrieve an image provided by The Art Institute of Chicago via its public API , how to create a texture from this image, and how to feed this texture to a material and render it on a plane accompanied by a floating text with title, name of the artist and some other details.

Last time I promised more fancy screenshots, here some perspective-correct renderings of some meshes. Texture handles? Meshes with similar shaders can be grouped together so that shaders don't need to be unloaded and loaded again, and many other cool things. A lot of text and no code so far, so here you go!

Consider representing mesh particles as instances in TLAS. For particles rendered as triangle meshes, having a unique instance for each particle can be a reasonable solution. Instances should share the base mesh BLAS. Avoid direct conversion from vertex and pixel shaders. Also, consider compacting the BLAS.

This is a screenshot that displays the object-space position of each pixel as the color. Heyyy, this pretty much looks like the sky projected onto the meshes, that's better! At that point of development, the sky reflection didn't respond to the camera position, so it basically looked like the sky was painted ontop of the mesh.
