Game Engine Gems 1

1. What to Look for When Evaluating Middleware for Integration

  • 미들웨어를 살 때, 어떤 걸 확인하면 되는지 목록을 만들어 놓았다.
  • 목록
    • Integration complexity and modularity
    • memory management
    • mass storage I/O access
    • logging
    • source code availability
    • quality of source code
    • platform portability
    • licensing requirements
    • cost

2. The Game Asset Pipeline

nil

3. Volumetric Representation of Virtual Environments

nil

5. Environment Sound Culling

nil

  • sound grid를 사용한 culling

10. Camera Centric Engine Design for Multithreaded Rendering

nil

20. A Deferred Decal Rendering Technique

23. Dynamic Code Execution Hierarchies

nil

  • code execution hierarchies
  • 실행 시점에 동적으로 트리를 구축.
  • tree traversal로 실행.
  • 코드로 실행 흐름을 파악하기 힘들고 디버깅이 어려운 단점이 있다.
  • 요즘 유행인 모듈 그래프 구현에 잘 맞아떨어지겠다.
    • shader, animation 그래프 에디터에 쓰는 그 모듈 그래프
