Fog and volumetric light rays (Shader Blinking Godrays)

When you turn on the global fog in 3d engine, the framerate often drops below a usable level, especially on older mobile devices.

From a graphics point of view however, fog dramatically improves look of the environments, especially helping to perceive the depth and space of a scene. The solution we came up with is the use of simple mesh faces with a transparent texture (Fog planes) instead of global fog. Once a player comes too close to a fog plane, it fades out and moreover, vertices of the fog plane are pulled away (because even a fully transparent alpha surface still consumes lot of render time).

 

雾效和体积光

当你在3d引擎里面开启全局雾效时，帧率会下降到不可用的地步，特别实在一些较低性能的移动设备。

但是从效果上来看，雾效会丰富环境的展示，特别是展现场景的深度和空间上。我们提出的解决方案是用简单的网格面片（包含透明纹理如雾效面片）来代替全局雾效。当一个玩家（摄像机）靠近一个雾效面片时
