Deferred rendering in Dying Light
The document discusses deferred rendering used in Dying Light. It begins with an agenda and overview of deferred shading and why it was used. Key reasons included having over 250k objects with multiple materials and thousands of lights with day-night cycles and weather changes. The document then covers the G-Buffer format, including encoding specular and diffuse values together, storing normals, roughness, and mask values. It describes optimizing the G-Buffer layout to be simple, slim, lossless, and physically based.
