Includes last video in 3D Game Programming series before the game portion begins!- Disruption to video production: Pretty minor effect for most people, Patrons are most affected because of early access.- Vulkan series coming for patrons in a couple weeks, everyone else in November- Game portion production slightly delayed, probably won't come for patrons until November at least, everyone else might be unaffected or close to it.- To prevent issues in the future, making videos differently to minimize this risk- Also working on statistical model for video schedule to allow better predictions for people.A very special thanks to my most devoted supporters for making these videos possible:Thundzz (Yacine)Andreas NordhExemptAKzatrikmatthew motsingerGalymzhan ShJonas SvedbergWalter CardozoMel FloranceJoshua BradburyNikolai KarpikovAshlyn GadowLucidMonkey

This video shows the first piece of our high level roadmap so we can be sure that no matter what creative ideas we explore, we're still ultimately moving closer to a finished game.Current code: github.com/BennyQBD/3DGameProgrammingTutorial/tree/f275800b1fc9e1f7bbca334c41a85bfc7e0fb03aBase code: github.com/BennyQBD/CGFX5Discord: discord.gg/aMqvk3EIf you'd like early access to videos, special discord roles, or just to support the creation of these videos. consider becoming a patron on Patreon: patreon.com/thebennyboxA very special thanks to my most devoted supporters for making this video possible:Thundzz (Yacine)Andreas NordhExemptAKzatrikmatthew motsingeroleg shulzhenko

#5 How Occlusion Culling Works: Masked Software Occlusion Culling (Part 1) thebennybox 2018-06-21 | In this video, we discuss software occlusion queries: like regular occlusion queries, except completely CPU-side, meaning no CPU/GPU bottleneck to slow it down. This video focuses on a relatively recent variant, masked software occlusion culling, that reduces the traditional performance limitations to a practical level for a lot of games.NINJA CORRECTION: When I spoke about the issue with rendering a lower-resolution depth buffer, I accidentally spoke backwards. You'd want "thin" fill conventions for occluders and "fat" fill conventions for occludees, not the other way around.

#4 3D Game Programming Tutorial: Dynamic Components (ECS Part 1) thebennybox 2018-06-04 | Our next game creation mission: Having multiple things in the game that interact, which starts by defining what exactly is a "thing" in the game. Today we embark on the journey to do just that with an Entity-Component-System, NOT the same thing as a system of entities and components (I know. Language.) The first step to that?

#2 3D Game Programming Tutorial: Input Frontend thebennybox 2018-05-21 | Mission 2: Separate the game from the input. The game shouldn't care what the input is or where it comes from, only how it needs to respond to it. Today, we isolate the input system from the rest of the game and set up the core data structure for efficient input processing.Starting code: github.com/BennyQBD/3DGameProgrammingTutorial/tree/1f34b1ddc5e07681de9a3483fbd47fdefc9bad44Finished code: github.com/BennyQBD/3DGameProgrammingTutorial/tree/5eb54af588de9cb2604b518963c088b128ed658fLine-by-line code change breakdown: github.com/BennyQBD/3DGameProgrammingTutorial/commit/5eb54af588de9cb2604b518963c088b128ed658fDiscord: discord.gg/aMqvk3EIf you'd like early access to videos, special discord roles, or just to support the creation of these videos, consider becoming a patron on Patreon: patreon.com/thebennybox
#1 3D Game Programming Tutorial: Input Backend thebennybox 2018-05-16 | Mission 1: Input. Which is made complicated by the need to ask the operation system about input events. Today we defeat that complication by abstracting away how the game knows about input. The result is a tidy interface that input can be built on top of without caring where it comes from. It could even be virtual input, in the case of say, a game replay/demo, or handling input by other players in a multiplayer game.Starting code: github.com/BennyQBD/3DGameProgrammingTutorial/tree/0f53d0810e0be55045cdf1754bdd1b45f849b7fdFinished code: github.com/BennyQBD/3DGameProgrammingTutorial/tree/1f34b1ddc5e07681de9a3483fbd47fdefc9bad44Line-by-line code change breakdown: github.com/BennyQBD/3DGameProgrammingTutorial/commit/1f34b1ddc5e07681de9a3483fbd47fdefc9bad44Discord: discord.gg/aMqvk3EIf you'd like early access to videos, special discord roles, or just to support the creation of these videos, consider becoming a patron on Patreon: patreon.com/thebennybox

#3 How Occlusion Culling Works: Potentially Visible Sets thebennybox 2018-03-21 | In this video, we talk about another great and long-standing occlusion culling algorithm: The potentially visible set.
#2 How Occlusion Culling Works: Portal-based Occlusion Culling thebennybox 2018-03-20 | This video introduces portal based occlusion culling, a relatively fast and accurate technique that's stood the test of time, despite it's limitations.Algorithm overview below.Preprocessing:1) Divide scene into "nodes." Division boundaries become "portals"2) In each node, store which portals are connected to it and which nodes are behind those portals.Runtime:1) Find node the camera is in, and mark it as visible.2) If the node has portals in it, check each portal against the camera's view frustum. Otherwise, return.3) If the portal is entirely outside the view frustum, ignore it.4) If the portal goes entirely through the view frustum (i.e. the portal start/end points are outside the frustum, but the portal plane goes through it), then trivially accept the node behind the portal, and recurse to step 2 with the new node.5) If the portal is only partially intersecting the view frustum, create a new frustum that is clipped against the portal so the frustum does not go outside the portal boundaries. Then accept the node behind the portal, and recurse to step 2 with the new node and frustum.
#1 How Occlusion Culling Works: Introduction thebennybox 2018-03-16 | This mini-series introduces occlusion culling as a companion series for my upcoming tutorial on implementing occlusion culling in a game engine. This video introduces what the problem is and why it's important, and the upcoming videos talk about what approaches can be used to solve the problem.
Update thebennybox 2018-03-10 | I talk about why I've been on hiatus, plans for the future in this channel, and I ramble about a lot of projects and other things.In short, I do hope to make more videos eventually. I don't know specifically when, but I'm doing multiple projects that will likely lead to more content at some point.Also, minor note: When I discuss the frustum culling code, I remark that in theory, the technique shown should be cheaper than typical methods. After more thought, I realized it's a little more nuanced than that. In terms of worst case performance, my technique should be better, but the more typical frustum culling technique makes it easier to early out if the mesh is on the outside of one of the first few planes tested. So really, it depends. That said, it's almost entirely a moot point since both techniques are very cheap and almost certainly not part of the critical path. So I'd go with whichever is easier to implement. That said, after even more thought I began experimenting more with frustum culling techniques because I was still not entirely satisfied with the method in the video (namely, the lack of good early out abilities) and I came up with an even better technique. It's 12 dot products and 6 compares for the comparable potion, but I went a step further and tested the AABB planes vs. frustum points because it creates a more accurate cull, the project ran noticably smoother, and even including those calculations the method was still less expensive than what I had in the video. For some reason, youtube does not allow angle brackets in the description, but I've replied the method to one of the comments.Another note, although I did say the genetic algorithm approach to BSP construction did not work as well as expected, note that I was using pretty close to the most basic possible approach, and only on relatively small to medium sized meshes. Genetic algorithms do have a lower asymptotic time complexity than the heuristics (at least if you're using the heuristics to their full potential) and also should theoretically converge on better solutions given enough iterations; in other words, in theory they should produce better trees in notably less time given a large enough mesh to work with. So if you're working with large, complicated meshes that need very well optimized BSP, I'd say genetic algorithms are still worth exploring further, especially if you find a particularly good technique for crossing two BSP trees. In my case however, the further exploration didn't make sense, as it was becoming obvious at that point that BSP trees would be less useful for my purposes than I had hoped.
