Wonderland Engine 1.6.0 - Meshlets and SSAO

Highlights include meshlet emulation to render large amounts of polygons, and a performant screen space ambient occlusion (SSAO) implementation.

Meshlets 

Meshlets enable rendering millions of polygons efficiently, even on mobile devices.

By chopping up large meshes into similar-sized patches, entire patches can be skipped efficiently based on frustum culling and required level of detail.

Check it out for yourself:

This scene renders:

• 5 passes in total
  • 4 shadow passes
  • 1 color pass
• 1 post processing pass
  • Our mobile-optimized bloom with tonemapping

SSAO (GTAO) 

We’ve implemented a mobile-friendly screen space ambient occlusion post-processing method with GTAO.
