FlameWorks presentation from NVIDIA GTC 2014.
Learn how to add volumetric effects to your game engine - smoke, fire and explosions that are interactive, more realistic, and can actually render faster than traditional sprite-based techniques. Volumetrics remain one of the last big differences between real-time and offline visual effects. In this talk we will show how volumetric effects are now practical on current GPU hardware. We will describe several new simulation and rendering techniques, including new solvers, combustion models, optimized ray marching and shadows, which together can make volumetric effects a practical alternative to particle-based methods for game effects.
Ever wondered how to use modern OpenGL in a way that radically reduces driver overhead? Then this talk is for you.
John McDonald and Cass Everitt gave this talk at Steam Dev Days in Seattle on Jan 16, 2014.
