    Study Notes

    Real-Time Optimization

    • Real-time optimization is crucial for 3D modeling in games and multimedia.
    • Gaming demands efficient and portable 3D modeling approaches for real-time applications.
    • Despite hardware advancements (memory, CPUs, GPUs), there are limitations.
    • Paramount importance is placed on optimizing projects for real-time rendering.

    Number of Polygons

    • A primary optimization rule is minimizing polygon count in 3D models.
    • Realism of 3D scenes is directly proportional to polygon count.
    • Optimization techniques aim to enhance realism without proportionally increasing polygons.
    • Review practical evaluation requirements for polygon counts.

    Level of Detail (LOD)

    • LOD refers to adjusting 3D model complexity based on viewer distance or object importance.
    • LOD decreases model detail with increased distance.
    • LOD is configured to adjust the minimum distance between objects.
    • LOD is applicable to textures (e.g., mipmaps).

    Culling

    • Culling selectively disables 3D object visualization in a scene.
    • Culling methods include visibility within the viewport (frustum culling), orientation (back-face culling), and hidden surface removal (occlusion culling).

    Frustum Culling

    • Only 3D entities within a defined viewing volume are rendered.
    • A hierarchical object structure improves culling efficiency.

    Back-Face Culling

    • Back-face culling determines if polygons of a graphical object are visible.
    • Optimization strategy: typically only one side of a 3D object is rendered.

    Cloning (Instantiation)

    • Cloning reuses the same geometry in various locations within a scene.
    • Geometric transformations (translation, rotation, scaling) can be applied to cloned objects without affecting the original.

    Billboards

    • Billboards are geometric entities that face the avatar.
    • Using a simple plane with a texture can simulate complex objects.
    • Ideal for surfaces with geometric symmetry (e.g., columns).

    Export 3D Scenes

    • Exported 3D files may lose optimization techniques.
    • Cloned objects can be replaced by actual geometry upon export.
    • Incorrect polygon normal export can lead to rendering flaws (e.g., holes).

    Textures

    • Textures significantly affect real-time rendering optimization.
    • Opt for small resolution textures for smaller file sizes and reduced memory usage.
    • Employ power-of-two resolutions.
    • Create tiles for large patterns.
    • Reuse textures in different areas of the environment.
    • Adjust textures for surface reflectivity and roughness.

    Textures + Illumination

    • Employ light maps for pre-computing complex lighting and reducing rendering demands.
    • Leverage pre-computed lighting with Unreal Engine.

    Virtual Textures

    • Virtual textures manage high-resolution textures for GPUs.
    • Dividing textures into tiles allows for progressive upload to GPU memory when needed.
