Advanced Lighting With My Own Game Engine
Рет қаралды 21,358
Күн бұрынIn this devlog, I add a modern lighting system to my game engine. This is part of a lifelong dream I've had of making an entire video game from scratch in C++.
Resources I used in this video:
SSAO:
- ogldev.org/www/tutorial45/tut...
- john-chapman-graphics.blogspot...
Dithering:
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordered...
Bloom:
- learnopengl.com/Advanced-Ligh...
VS Code Plugin for Creating Blender Addons:
- marketplace.visualstudio.com/...
This video looks at the following topics:
- SSAO (screen space ambient occlusion)
- Bloom shaders
- Dithering
- Game engine programming
- Game development with C++
As of the recording of this video, the game is under the working title of "Cereal Adventure." It's an indie game in which a sentient cereal box must navigate a dangerous 2.5D world in order to beat out his breakfast competitors.
More videos are planned and on the way! Subscribe so you don't miss out.

I'd like to make something like this, but people keep saying that if you want to make a game just use a pre existing engine, but I want to both make a game and an engine like what you have, what do you think or do you have any advice? I am interested in higher resolution / modern rendering that you mentioned but not triple AAA, more like stylised low - medium poly models.

Excellent question! The following is of course just my opinion but this is what I think. People make WAY too much of a big deal about this, to a point that I really don't understand. I've seen entire videos on KZfaq advising people to not attempt making their own engine. I've also seen many people exaggerate how difficult it is. The reality is that writing a rendering engine from scratch is well-documented and relatively easy to learn for those that have a strong C++ background. Yes, it will take some time to get running initially and there is a lot to learn but if it's something that you enjoy (and I would say that it is very enjoyable and an excellent learning experience) then it's worth it. So my advice is simple: if you enjoy lower level programming and like the idea of making a game engine, you should do it and forget about what these people say! Hope that helps :)

@@AngeTheGreat Yes it really does thank you, I really like C/C++ and low level programming as long as I can find some solid resources to learn from.

@@AngeTheGreat May I comment further on this? I think the concept of an "engine" is pretty overblown at this point. People expect a lot of GUI tools, drag'n drop, visual scripting, shader/material blueprints, and a lot more stuff. But a game engine can be as small as a header file to load shader programs, a header file to create a window, a header file to load textures, and perhaps a few other things. For what you are doing here, it isn't even necessary to create a rendering engine imo.. And your point about "enjoying" the process is spot on!

The argument against creating your own game engine is based on the assumption that the only thing that REALLY matters is fun gameplay, and if you don't have a fun gameplay loop you don't have anything. From that perspective, getting hung up on Unity vs. Unreal, let alone making your own engine, is putting the cart before the horse. I think this advice comes from the question "How do I become a *professional* game developer?", because it focusses on productivity and completely discounts the idea of game development as a hobby/learning experience. If you enjoy coding and learning and you think that's a worthy objective in itself, then disregard that advice. If you want to actually release games that people enjoy playing and might be willing to pay for, then it's worth considering.

I really enjoyed your video as usual. It's a really great thing to learn new things and get a grasp on more advanced stuff while watching your videos. So even if you are more documenting what you are doing, it's definitely very educational. And hopefully your game will become what you want it to be. With good lighting of course ;)

It looks so realistic and pixelated(?) at once. I love the result.
@fruitygranulizer540 2 ай бұрын
in the past, games were pixelated because of the limitations of hardware. and we didn't have the advanced shading techniques that we know about today. hell, some older games didn't even have shadowmaps. just blinn-phong esque shading and that's it. maybe hardcoded shadows, but rarely actual shadowmaps rendered from a light source. this feels realistic and pixelated at the same time because it is using modern shading techniques while PURPOSELY making the final output pixelated. its such a cool look.

I know this is an old video but, for Bloom its better to mip the unclamped render down to smaller sizes and blur that instead of blurring the full resolution. most modern games/engines do bloom this way, you could also technically make this into DOF too. also also SSAO is very outdated in 2023, the better way to do ambient shading is GTAO(either intels or nvidias), as for GI pass or something like that you could do Voxels since you're going for low res look.

How do you render multiple lights? Do you use forward or deferred rendering? If you use forward rendering, do you use a single pass for all lights or a pass for each light? How do you find the lights that should affect an object?

Hi, (I also commented on your bloom FFT video) - might I advice you to use non-thresholded bloom instead? I can provide a couple of reasons for why it's better :) If you are interested, I would be happy to email you a pdf showcasing the technique. Great video btw, I really enjoy your content and the way you explain things!
@AngeTheGreat 2 жыл бұрын
Oh I didn't see your comment there for some reason (KZfaq is weird with comments sometimes). I'd consider using something other than the threshold style bloom. I found that it worked fine for my purposes and I don't really intend to make heavy use of it but I'm always interested to learn. Feel free to e-mail me a PDF or join my discord (link in the description) and post it there. Glad you liked the video and thanks for the suggestion!

neat, I think the blocky pixelated screen looks worse than proper high quality, though perhaps you can still have the retro aesthetic by having blocky textures and perhaps other retro features, like jagged low poly models but please I urge you to complete the game! so many youtuber devs never publish anything which I think is a massive missed opportunity and plants a skyscraper-tall brick wall infront of their ability to improve as a developer. perfection is impossible so don't be upset when you weren't able to do 100% of what you wanted
