Some time ago I was looking for a simple video player library written in C++, that would be free, multi-threaded, supporting audio and it would not be Ogg Theora :). I could not find anything useful. There is Bink, which is great, but paid (and expensive). Codecs like h.264 have… Read more »
Some of our public variables logically depends on the value of others. When some variable is unchecked (false), other variable has no meaning. For example: Player class containing canJump boolean with jumpHeight float. We don’t have to display jumpHeight when Player canJump is false etc… Even if these variables can… Read more »
In this article I will describe a simple approximate method how we can cull objects that are casting shadows. Culling of objects that do not cast shadows is trivial. We just check if object AABB is inside or intersects camera frustum planes. 1. The problem However, shadow casters have also… Read more »
In this article I will describe method of improving Unity 5 deferred decals sample (link). Since deferred decals are modifying g-buffer, they are projecting on almost everything. Sometimes we need to select what objects will not be affected by decals – player, enemies, etc… The following image shows the problem:… Read more »
Low level access to the renderer G-Buffer offers us with the possibility to implement various effects. Although the Unity is high-level engine without access to the source code, we are still able to access and modify the low-level built-in shaders. Currently, the G-Buffer of Unity 5 has following layout: RT0:… Read more »
