[Tech Presentation] Baked Particle System

This is a new tech I added into our engine,  we call it “Baked Particle System”.

Not like traditional particle system which calculates everything on the fly, we have a pre-calculation stage (Baking).

In Baking stage, since we don’t need worry about CPU performance problem, we can do a bunch of stuffs that the real-time one can’t do.

After baking, we recording necessary information into vertex stream, playback it in runtime.

Here is a example video, for complex collision effects.

Following is a PPT when I introduce the tech to my team internally, it give a briefing how the tech works,  I’d like to share it with you guys
