Hi there so following watching the UI talk from the division team and framegraph system for Frostbite I was inspired to implement a Framegraph system for my engine...the Framegraph is working well and I am really enjoying working with it. At the moment it's just focuses on pass management and a few render queue modes. Now I was looking into build the 2D renderer and thought.. Hey the division use render graphs for their UI (thousands of nodes but what the hey) the Division talk So to the question. From the video I get the impression that the UI may be possible rebuilt every frame.. Surely that is wrong and there i…

On “What direction and resources? Advice from the pros.”

Here are my fav videos. bobby Anguelov He also has a great chat about animation systems and ai. Check out his engine on GitHub great code to read. A Industry veteran. I am in love with the decima engine..I don't know why. I just love it Here is a great talk from their engine tooling team. decima engine tooling Inspired me to consider immediate GUI for my engine using nodes. Many systems are going this way..procedural generation, scripting, shaders, rendering architecture division 2 engine There used to be one from Frostbite team but it's no longer on YouTube. These are ones I return to on a regular just to inspire me.
