2 sections • 9 lectures • 1h 6m total length

Introduction To Game Graphics15:05
Explore how to identify bottlenecks and optimize Unreal Engine performance for smooth gameplay, covering draw calls, frame rate, memory usage, level of detail, and culling techniques.
Introduction To Unreal Engine13:43
Unreal Engine is a comprehensive game development toolkit with nanite, lumen, virtual texturing, metasounds, and the marketplace assets, plus blueprint scripting for cross-platform creation.

Unreal Engine2:41
Navigate Unreal Engine's interface to explore the viewport, outliner, and details panel, adjust scalability and lighting, and access the content browser and the trace panel.
Profiling In Unreal Engine3:36
Profile Unreal Engine performance by monitoring FPS and latency, interpret the detailed panel and red versus green indicators, and optimize draw calls through scalability settings and object management.
Stat Commands4:16
Profile Unreal Engine performance by using state commands to inspect GPU time, memory, and audio channels. Assess animation state changes and GPU bottlenecks to diagnose lag.
GPU Profiling6:30
Profile the GPU in Unreal Engine using the GPU visualizer, inspect the frame and outliner to identify bottlenecks, and analyze direct versus indirect lighting and lumen costs.
Fixing Bottlenecks and Optimize the scene8:24
Explore practical bottleneck fixes in Unreal Engine by optimizing the scene with lumen versus screen space lighting, adjusting project settings and post-processing, and profiling the GPU to boost FPS.
Draw Calls8:58
Identify draw calls in unreal engine by examining triangles and levels of detail. Then merge actors into a single static mesh to lower cpu-gpu communication and improve draw times.
Additional content: Tips and Tricks3:46
Enable the forward renderer and disable ray tracing to load shaders once, achieving smoother gameplay and 120 fps; draw calls drop and shaders compile once.

Requirements

basic knowledge of unreal engine interface
no need to know blueprints

Description

Enhance your Unreal Engine projects by mastering GPU optimization and effective draw call management! This specialized course is tailored for developers who want to boost the graphical performance of their games. You'll learn how to identify and fix GPU bottlenecks while minimizing draw calls to create smoother and more responsive gameplay experiences.
