- the video for the GDC 2019 talk has been released
- the talk presents a walkthrough of how the lava, weather, water effects were created
- shows what references were collected, identified key steps that need to be replicated and how it was implemented into Frostbite
- the blog posts discusses an approach for efficiently fitting bezier curves to an existing technique
- presents prior art, distance metrics, as well as a novel approach that allows curve fitting to be done more efficiently
- the Unity video tutorial explains triangle winding order, how it connects to culling
- presents how to adjust the culling mode in the different Unity rendering pipeline
- how to set up double-sided meshes
nDreams is an award-winning independent developer and publisher, delivering world-leading interactive virtual reality experiences. We recently launched Phantom: Covert Ops, a stealth action game redefined for VR, and we couldn’t be more proud of what the team have achieved. We are seeking a Principal Graphics Programmer to join our growing team and help build the systems that let our artists and designers breathe life in to the VR experiences we create. We can’t wait to show you what we’re working on next …
- the article presents a frame breakdown of Jurassic World, a forward D3D11 based tiled forward renderer
- covers grass movement, Tiled Forward Lighting, Atmospheric effects, Reflections, Shadows, AO, rain, temporal effects
- additionally offers insights into post effects and TAA (temporal antialiasing)
- the article presents an overview of the new debugging features in SHADERed
- shows undefined behavior detector, variable inspectors, global breakpoint views
- additionally presents a heatmap view of SPIR-V instructions executed
- the article provides an overview of the state of OpenGL on D3D12; it’s now used to run OpenGL applications on ARM windows
