VFX Optimization - Case Study |
|
| | |
|
Graphics Programmer Jan Mróz recently showcased a series of optimizations he made to a snow particle system originally produced by Jaiden Ortiz. |
|
| |
In this blog post Jan outlines how he reduced CPU usage, mesh usage, and draw calls through a series of shader optimizations. If you are at all interested in graphics optimizations and/or particle systems we highly recommend you check out his LinkedIn post on the project. |
|
| |
Also make sure to give Jan a follow, as he frequently posts some great graphics case studies/breakdowns! |
