The GPU video decoding in Vulkan and DX12 will allow to easily add HD videos to your materials in Wicked Engine with minimal performance and memory impact. This is some work to do, but the base idea works now.

While I am preparing for a bigger update on Wicked Engine, I had time for a short video like this. 10 000 animated models can be rendered real time with a GTX 1070. No level of detail was used for the models. Skinning runs in a compute shader, then models are rendered with instancing in a single Draw call. +1 draw call for the water reflections.
