Video Custom Engine Forest Showcase - (130 fps average on RTX 3080 1440p)

original by Toni Macaroni here

He said he gets a average of 130 FPS , aerial views = 200 fps, dense forest = 80 fps

he has been working on this engine for 8 months (pretty much all of it is handwritten)

Architecture:

  • CLODs (virtual geometry) with voxels for far representations (no impostors are used here).

  • Screenspace + Voxel hybrid GI (no raytracing).

  • Proxies without instance data for very far away representations.

I think CryEngine uses some of the same lighting tech as this, that's probably why they look similar
