Long story short, run your app in …

Certain tests cannot be conducted solely by comparing the return value of a function, particularly when custom shaders are in use. In such scenarios, it becomes necessary to perform comparisons based on screenshots. Fortunately, Unity offers some tools to do so, using the Unity's Graphics Tests Framework.

Like most of 3D/Game engines, Unity works with single float precision coordinates. As it is not an issue for most use cases, this may be a problem when you deal with geographical coordinates or very large world. Let's see how to handle this problem using the Unity's High Precision …

No one read the documentation.

It is the sad truth. You have developed the most awesome Unity asset, using the most advanced state of the art ray-casted-signed-distance-field-backed-layer-based-mipmap-inspired-linear-fading technic, but no-one understands how to use it. So you wrote a documentation. But people won't read it. Because no one read the …

I've worked in medical domain from time to time since 2010, especially to display DICOM images, and if I had a dollar every time I heard “This picture is upside down”, I think I could have bought a sandwich. Yes, that's not so frequent but when it happens, it quickly …

We have seen in the previous article how to handle position of object and camera in very large scene. But this still won't solve the shaky problem caused by matrix accumulation. We will here see that only a few place needs to use double precision, and not all your rendering …

We have seen in a previous article why floating point representation may shake our objects in scene. We will now see how to use space change tricks to mitigate this problem.

A brief reminder about World, Model and View space

When dealing with 3D coordinates, we generally use 3 coordinate …

When zooming a lot on 3D objects or when having small object lost in a very large scene, it can happen that your objects "jiggle" from one position to another, making rendering really shaky. We will see in this series of article where does it comes from and how to …
