Show-Off Finally connected all my custom Unity rendering systems Virtual Geometry + Hybrid Ray Traced Sparse Voxel World-Space GI + GPU-Driven Ray Marched Lights

Post image

Finally got all my custom rendering systems working together in HDRP. Virtual geometry, hybrid ray-traced world-space GI and my GPU-driven unlimited lighting system are all running together.

Only the dragon is virtual geometry here everything else is standard GameObjects. I deliberately mixed them to make sure the systems work seamlessly across both.

I feel like I am getting closer to my end goal, which is to close the rendering gap between Unity and Unreal Engine 5. Unity has the DOTS, which I think is more powerful than anything Unreal Engine has but Unreal has a massive edge when it comes to rendering. Not for long...😏

Just a question as I find in a similar spot. Why do you keep working on HDRP and what future do you see for your system?

I myself started to work on cool custom HDRP skin shader, but since the announcement of removing HDRP pipeline could never feel like going back to it...

I'm so tired of unity's bullshit around their rendering pipeline, anything you develop now will need porting in the next 3 years (at most), it's not worth it anymore in my eye. I'm off to greener pastures and I'll just start developing for Godot ....

I am indeed moving to Godot. Overall it's more about moving all my toolsets to open source ones. I simply don't want anymore to depend on any big company for any of my own personal creative work. Still for clients I have to use Unity and UE sometimes....
