The new open-source game engine is set to release later in 2021 July 7, 2021, 19:35
Recap: Amazon s Lumberyard game engine which was based on CryEngine has been available for some time, but not many games are using it. However, that might change soon as Amazon is rebranding it and opening it up. Now called the Open 3D Engine, it s become an open-source project and part of the recently formed Open 3D Foundation.
The Open 3D Foundation results from the collaboration of various developers, aiming to support open-source projects designed to improve the capabilities of 3D graphics, rendering, authoring, and development. Created by the Linux Foundation, the Open 3D Foundation was formed by various members including Adobe, Red Hat, AWS, Huawei, Intel, Backtrace.io, the International Game Developers Association, Niantic, Wargaming, and many others.
Playing the blame game
Mathematically,
aliasing is caused where a continuous signal is transformed into a discrete set of values, via sampling. Rasterizing a straight or curved line induces
spatial aliasing these geometric shapes effectively consist of an infinite number of points between two locations in space, and representing it using a fixed number of pixels will always result in an approximation of that line, no matter how pixels are used.
Since the pixelated version of the line is no longer an actual line, moving it about or putting it next to other shapes creates a myriad of visual oddities, which is what we re referring to with the term aliasing.
