GPU Mesh Voxelizer Part 2: Triangle / Voxel intersection

In this article, we’ll continue porting our mesh voxelizer to the GPU. If you haven’t read them already, you can read the first two parts here and here. We’ll build

GPU Mesh Voxelizer Part 1

In this article, we’ll start porting my naive mesh voxelizer to a multithreaded mesh voxelizer that runs on the GPU through Compute Shaders. First, we’ll set up the compute

Simple Mesh Voxelization in Unity

In this article, I explore a naive approach to mesh voxelization in Unity. Mesh voxelization is a helpful tool to determine mesh connectivity and volume. We can use this information to create

Model View Controller Pattern for in-game UI

This article describes an approach to structuring UI in Unity. This approach is based on the Model View Controller (MVC) pattern, but it’s slightly adapted for Unity. This isn’t the only

Unity Architecture Pattern: Structured Prefabs

This article shows a powerful Unity pattern that I’m calling Structured prefabs. Structured prefabs are a pattern I use to simplify prefab initialization and reduce bugs. They help to indicate

Unity Architecture Pattern: the Main loop

This article will show the benefits of using a main loop as a foundational structure for your Unity games. The main loop is a powerful pattern that makes projects easier to debug and maintain and

Run Pong on the GPU with Compute Shaders in Unity

This article is about adding interactivity and game logic to Compute Shaders. For my introduction to Compute Shaders, check out this post. We’ll do this by writing a version of Pong that

Using Unity Scriptable Objects to solve Architecture problems

This article covers the basics of Scriptable Objects and some ways in which they’re helpful. First, I’ll explain what Scriptable Objects are. Then, I’ll explain what they do

Generate a Maze using Compute Shaders in Unity

This article covers the basics of Compute Shaders. We’ll generate a simple maze using a basic Compute Shader and the binary tree maze algorithm. This relatively simple explanation of
