Engine Development

arXiv cs.GR details JamTet, a GPU-parallel sphere-packing mesher for Lagrangian mesh morphing that keeps interior-node identity through large shape changes. The method aims to avoid the inversion and...

arXiv cs.GR details a way to approximate smooth 3D functions with a coarse lookup table plus tetrahedral interpolation. For graphics and tools teams, the draw is a tiny 38 KiB RGB-to-CMYK table at 16...

arXiv cs.GR details Text2Sim, a pipeline that turns a text prompt into an editable physics simulation. Built on Genesis, it uses a planner, specialist writers, asset tools, and a critic to cut the...

Godot Engine says 4.8 dev 7 is the last feature snapshot before freeze, shifting the branch to bugfixes and regressions ahead of beta. For teams tracking engine upgrades, this one adds symbol...

Box2D details a new inscribed-sphere culling scheme for SAT that can cut expensive convex-hull contact work before edge-pair tests even run. The approach uses cheap dot products and Gauss-map arcs to...

XBox Wire says Used Cars Simulator is out now on Xbox Series X|S, and the loop is all about inspecting, repairing, and flipping beat-up vehicles for profit. The game mixes business management with...

arXiv cs.GR details CuACD, a fully GPU-resident approximate convex decomposition pipeline that turns triangle meshes into convex parts much faster. The authors say it can cut preprocessing from tens...

arXiv cs.GR details TapeSim, a tape-dispensing simulator that keeps most wound material rigid while concentrating deformation near the unwind point. For robotics teams, the payoff is faster physics...

arXiv cs.GR details an adjoint-based workflow for automating profile extrusion die design, replacing manual trial-and-error with deterministic shape optimization. The method uses...

GamesIndustry.biz reports that IO Interactive has pushed 007 First Light on Switch 2 to March 2027, marking a third delay for the port. Technical producer Cristina Vega said the team needed a...

arXiv cs.GR details ProxyBuild, a text-guided 3D building system that aims to produce editable structures instead of single baked meshes. The method uses mesh-anchored procedural proxies to separate...

Game Developer details how ARM’s Peter Hodges thinks about game development tools, with a side trip into the 1969 short Lemon. The conversation is most relevant to teams building or integrating...

arXiv cs.GR details S4R, a scale-continuation method that repairs rigid-body interpenetration in large procedural scenes. It shrinks bodies to a collision-free state, then restores full size through...

arXiv cs.GR details LYRIC, a physics-based character controller that turns free-form language into contact-rich whole-body interactions. For game teams, the interesting part is the split between a...

Unity details how Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor was reworked for mobile, where thousands of enemies, projectiles, and UI events had to fit inside a 3 GB iPad and a wildly fragmented Android landscape....

Leadwerks says version 5.2 adds OpenXR support, broadening VR hardware compatibility across modern headsets, including Steam Frame. The update also improves the VR template with more natural hand...

AMD GPUOpen says ADLX 2.0 adds AI extensions and MCP servers so apps can monitor, manage, and optimize AMD graphics hardware. For game teams, that opens the door to agent-driven tooling that can...

Godot has been tightening CPU-side renderer code, and one Polygon2D case showed why that matters: a scene with only about 20 animated characters was spending 15.7 ms in Polygon2D::_notification() and...

A new HKTex acceleration method drops the mesh eigensystem bottleneck that has made heat-kernel texture workflows expensive to initialize. Two variants, LocalHK and ThermalRF, keep the trainer and...

A new reconfigurable rover uses a variable-geometry truss to change its contact shape on the fly, cutting the coordination burden of traversal planning. The system reuses low-dimensional contact...
