GPU Mesh Voxelizer Part 4: Mesh Translation and Rotation

In this article, we continue developing our GPU-based mesh voxelizer. The previous posts in the series are available here: part1, part2, and part3. Previously our model had to be

GPU Mesh Voxelizer Part 3: Render tons of voxels with DrawMeshInstancedIndirect

In this article, we render all the voxels from our voxelization process. If you haven’t read the previous parts, you can find part 1 here and part 2 here. We’ll generate a

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

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
