Here are the implementation of water wave effects on 2D sprites and 3D meshes: Preview Link The math behind it is simple, the water wave is simulated by the Sin function, and then the fluctuation range is increased in the Update function. _pass = this.node.getComponent(Sprite).material.passes[0]; x,waveFactor.y-uv0.y);

Drawing a Spine-friendly character means you also need to draw parts of images that are normally obscured, as the visibility can change as the sprite moves. Each image part was converted to mesh. The USP of Spine animation software is how smoothly it converts an image part to mesh. A side pose is easier to animate.

GLES2 renderer optimization - 2D batching

Mircosoft Game Dev

APRIL 9, 2020

While Juan ( reduz ) has been busily working on Vulkan, the rest of the rendering team have not been idle. They have been working on many bug fixes and some improvements to the OpenGL rendering in the 3.x Up until now, the GLES2 2D renderer has been drawing primitives (such as rectangles) on an individual basis. How it works.

Analysis The whole effect can be split into two parts, one for the simulation of the mesh and one for the rendering of the mesh. Rendering is even more straightforward, just use the Graphic component and draw lines directly. If I can pass this texture in between the direct rendering, then I get a 2D real fabric.

but facing one issue depending on the sprite type mesh which is in CC2.4 where there is a function to create render data renderData.createFlexData but I could not find any way to do it in CC3.6. its creating static data I am not able to render the vertices count when they are changing continuously.(This Since in CC3.6

Firstly, Sprite is a quad, the mesh is static for easier usage. You can have a custom render component and make its mesh with multiple quad, but it really isn’t necessary. You can achieve gradient color within one quad. Just calculate color step in the fragment shader is enough.

Does Spine work with USE_INSTANCING?

Cocos

JANUARY 12, 2024

USE_INSTANCING is only for 3D mesh rendering. if you want to reduce draw calls for 2d objects(sprites, labels, and spines), it’s better to follow the batching mechanism.

JANUARY 10, 2023

This beta includes a few big changes which may interest a lot of users: Animated sprites, both 2D and 3D, now support options for more precise timing of individual frames ( GH-65609 ). Editor: Bring back the renderer options button on the main editor ( GH-70500 ). Rendering: Add options for sorting transparent objects ( GH-69998 ).

For Renderer, I chose Forward+ because I think it is somewhere between URP and HDRP. The first thing to download will be the sprites and textures from the original tutorial. Type in mesh in the search and select MeshInstance3D. Search for mesh and again choose MeshInstance3D. We’ll start with the Dirt texture.

Handling complex calculation in C++ for better performance in iOS

OCTOBER 17, 2024

Main issue I have is that I am doing the renderdata(vertices) caculations every frame and updating to the sprite component which is heavy in JS without JIT in iOS. Is it feasible to update the render data directly in the C++ code if I move the calculations to C++ by any way. the spritetype Mesh is removed in 3.8. Thank you!

In this case I'm talking about a rather big refactoring of how materials are handled in the GLES2 renderer. perspective rendering. perspective rendering. stabilize 3D rendering (unshaded workflow). perspective rendering. With UBOs, this comes natural, and very similar code exists in the GLES3 renderer.
