The two big changes I made were the texturing and the monster placement / player flow. One of my big motivations was to use Makkon's updated textures. Yet as I aligned the 100th trim texture on a brush, I wondered whether my level was also anti-brutalist in its own way. Maybe it wasn't such a bad map after all?

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.

Positions can be directly evaluated on ray hit and texture coordinates may be the only attribute required during any hit shader execution. 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.

UVs are also called texture coordinates and they let you map textures on your objects. You’re basically saying to the computer: “hey, I want this texture drawn from here to here”. If you change the UVs (or texture coordinates) of one vertex, you’re also changing the way the texture is displayed on your mesh.

Brief Analysis of Deferred Rendering Two Main Steps 1、Preparation（Geometry Rendering） In this phase, the basic information needed for the lighting calculation of the model is rendered and stored in different render textures. As we can see, in Deferred Rendering, the calculation of a pixel’s color is uniformly performed in the lighting phase.

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.

Our sprite is 32x32 pixels in size, and it must be drawn at some position. Textures are simply bound to bind points starting from 0, and the bind point number is sent via attributes too. For each pixel drawn to the screen, OpenGL will interpolate the outputs that were generated from the vertex program and use them to fill the triangle.
