Understanding function pointers is crucial for effectively utilizing Unreal Engine, as many of its concepts are based on this principle. In this article, I provide a comprehensive overview of function pointers - what they are, how they work, and how they can be effectively used. This article serves as a foundation for further posts that will build on this knowledge to illuminate specific applications within Unreal Engine.
This article shares my experiences with modularization in Unreal Engine 5. I explain why I think a modular approach in game development makes sense and how it helps to better organize, maintain, and evolve the code.
I explain the implementation of the Event Manager that I use for my game projects. Event managers are one of the most crucial components of every game project I develop. I have tailored implementations of event managers in the Unreal Engine, which I continuously expand and refine. It serves as an essential tool for decoupling my code in larger projects.
I have simulated a Time of Flight sensor by implementing a Path Tracing algorithm with NVIDIA OptiX. For this, I utilized current research to simulate surface properties physically correctly. Even if you're not interested in simulating sensors but only in physically accurate lighting, the article might be interesting for you.
In this detailed exploration, I delve into the intricate sources of error in Time-of-Flight camera systems, such as lens scattering and mixed pixels errors. Discover how various experimental setups illuminate the profound impacts these errors have on depth measurement.
This article explores the principles and techniques of Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors, focusing on how they measure depth by capturing light's travel time to an object and back. It examines the components, modulation methods, and challenges inherent in ToF technology, emphasizing its application in precision detection and distance measurement.
In this article I summarise the basics of physically based rendering. In particular, I look at the mathematical and physical principles that are necessary to understand global illumination.
