At Unite 2024, Unity’s development team introduced a series of advanced GPU optimization techniques aimed at improving rendering performance across various platforms. One of the fundamental challenges in real-time rendering is reducing GPU latency to improve frame rate. Another important consideration is transparency.

SDFs make specific textures that give a pixel a value for the distance corresponding to the boundaries of the image. So using the SDF we discussed allows the fonts to be filled in with the correct pixels, no matter the size, with the help of the SDF shader information. To fix this, the use of SDFs are used.

Some ray-traced effects, like reflections or shadows, require support for out-of-frustum objects for rendering accuracy. One way to reduce the tracing cost is to start with pre-tracing, where you trace local neighborhoods for each pixel in screen space, similar to screen space shadows or ambient occlusion techniques.

This is a challenging task, even in cinematic rendering, because it is difficult to find all the paths of light that contribute meaningfully to an image. Solving this problem through brute force requires hundreds, sometimes thousands of paths per pixel, but this is far too expensive for real-time rendering.

Shaders are programs that describe the traits of vertices and pixels. In other words, via shaders, you can set and change the way the computer renders the meshes. It also prepares the data (like the UVs) that will be used next by the Pixel Shader. The Pixel Shader runs once per each pixel and renders your object.

Principle Since it’s an outer stroke, it doesn’t occupy the pixels of the original image to draw the edges. Remember the previous article, where we used the image’s Alpha to find edges, determining whether there were pixels with Alpha of 0 around the image. First, we get the uv of the surrounding pixel through the offset uv.
