The Geometry Buffer - Deferred Rendering in GameMaker DragoniteSpam 2022-12-19 | Ordinary forward rendering is good enough for most GameMaker projects, but if you want to render large open worlds or scenes with a large number of lights, you might find that it doesn't scale very well. I've had deferred rendering on the mind a lot lately, which is a technique you can use to cut the cost of lighting calculations in small scenes down by quite a bit, so let's talk about how to do that!Deferred rendering isn't a perfect solution and makes it much harder to do things such as transparent effects and varied materials, but it performs quite well in other situations, which might make it worth considering!Today we're only going to do a little bit of setup involving rendering basic information about the scene to the geometry buffer (the G-buffer). In the next video we'll combine the G-buffer information into a fully lit scene!Relevant links:How the Wind Waker defined cel shading:youtube.com/watch?v=mnxs6CR6ZrkWhy did Link's cel shading disappear?youtube.com/watch?v=By7qcgaqGI43D in GameMaker playlist (contains all of the prerequisites):youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_hT--4HOvrcML9uqHe4fwBVTm650Vy3VShader playlist:youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_hT--4HOvrdkihto8Xu7hhp1-5Gj8zsaHere's the code:github.com/DragoniteSpam-GameMaker-Tutorials/3DTutorial59DeferredRenderingSetup#GameMaker#GameMaker3D#GameMakerDeferredRendering- - - - -I've now made that Patreon:patreon.com/wizardragonThat promised social media link spam.twitter.com/DragoniteSpamTransition / idle music is by my old friend Kamex:youtube.com/user/GreatGabite/aboutRate, comment, subscribe, watch more, enjoy!

How Many Triangles Can GameMaker Render? DragoniteSpam 2022-12-14 | The question of how many triangles GameMaker can render in 3D tends to come up a lot. Let's answer it! Spoiler: it's a lot.Fern can be found here:twitch.tv/freshwaterferntwitter.com/freshwaterfernIt's rather easy to make badly-optimized 3D games in GameMaker, so if you want to see more about how you can squeeze extra performance out of your games, I've made a whole series on different ways of doing that:youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_hT--4HOvrf_CJSA7fVU1tkjGVv5Sq2tThis was originally supposed to be a quick, silly video, but it ended up being quite a bit more work than I expected.
