Скачать или смотреть GDC 2017 Flash Forward: Creating Optimized Effects Shaders For Mobile

As a veteran effects supervisor working on animated films, understanding the constraints of mobile hardware helped Zynga's Scott Peterson transition skills from film to mobile. This lecture focuses on both visual and technical choices that Zynga made on 'Farmville: Tropic Escape' to create high quality water and clouds. The techniques discussed apply to a wide variety of effects, including a blend mode that is both bright and maintains color saturation, using erosion in conjunction with transparency to make more convincing splashes, measuring performance on mobile, understanding the role of draw calls in performance, understanding the role of precision in performance, and using vertex shaders to optimize performance. Each topic is presented with specific images and videos from the game that illustrate reasons behind their choices.
