There isn't enough people showing how shaders are made. Every designer makes their own theme. But for years now I have not been able to just find the perfect shader that looks good and performs well. I want to understand what it takes to have good visuals and good performance. You did an amazing job with this part 1. I really hope you end up going over all the features as well as ray tracing eventually. Not enough people do this sort of content. It is so nice to have a helping hand show you how its done so the user can just focus on the creative aspect. You've gained a sub! My goal with your help, is to make a shader that works well with VR and Distant Horizons.

Thank you so so much for the super thanks!! I am so glad this video helped you learn!

17:15 avoid if statements in GPU code. GPU cores are grouped into so-called warps. cores in the same warp must execute the same instruction, always, except for cores that are disabled by a mask. If two cores in the same warp branch differently, one core has to wait for the other core to finish executing its branch before it can continue execution. This is called predicated execution, and it is one of the biggest performance killers in shader code. For reference, I implemented bounding box checking on the GPU once for a ray tracer, and it performed WORSE, because cores that exited early had to wait for the other cores to finish anyway, and all cores had to do additional computations.
@fleroviux
2 ай бұрын
You're not wrong in general, however I don't think it's really applicable here. That kind of if-statement is the standard way to implement an alpha test and it's going to converge extremely well (just don't use a super noisy texture), meaning that more often than not all threads in a warp will take the same branch. The execution will only diverge in regions where locally there are some fragments that pass the alpha test and some that don't.
@fleroviux
2 ай бұрын
Besides that in general divergent execution only gets really bad if at least one of the code branches is fairly long/expensive.
@samuelgerkin

Definitely, just keeping it simple since the performance concerns aren't major here and it's easier to learn the logic using if statements when you're starting out. I'll mention that in a future video though!
