A shader is a script where you write code that determines how the colors will be rendered based on various scenarios like lighting and material configuration. The ZWrite Off and ZTest Greater are responsible for making the shader render the material behind other objects. What Is a Shader? Then we give it a type – Color.

I've written smaller renderers using the ECS architecture, and I can tell you that if you implement ECS, your engine will improve its performance; ECS allows efficient memory access and cache coherency. Moreover, the codebase of these renderers is a lot cleaner and less convoluted. Instead of using OBJ, FBX, USD, etc.

Rendering is highly nonlinear, so linear operations on texture maps do not produce the correct linearly changing appearance.

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. Combined with the knowledge of the rendering, the texture is actually very close to the rendering vertex data.

Textures are simply bound to bind points starting from 0, and the bind point number is sent via attributes too. In this case, the UV coordinate (for reading the texture). We use the sprite texture uniform to read the sprite pixels. Users can write the vertex, fragment and lighting shader using a lot of pre-existing information.

SDFGI is something akin to a dynamic real-time lightmap (but it does not requiere unwrapping, nor does it use textures). Occlusion generally works well, but you must ensure that walls are thicker than a voxel at the cascade they are rendering to in order to avoid light leaks. Will write an article about this soon.
