The post provides an in-depth look at the current state of rendering in Wicked Engine at the end of 2024. Key highlights include the use of forward rendering with tiled forward approach, optimizations like 2.5D culling, and the implementation of a visibility buffer to support post-processing typically found in deferred rendering. The engine also utilizes bindless resources, texture compression, texture streaming, and various performance enhancements in shadow maps and occlusion culling. Additional topics covered include the use of mesh shaders, MSAA, ray tracing effects, planar reflections, and FP16 usage for improved shader performance. Improvements in wetness maps and orthographic camera support are also discussed.
