PROFILE

Vengar Van De Wal

Over a two-month period, contributed to BredaUniversityGames/Y2024-25-PR-BB by developing advanced real-time lighting features for the rendering engine. Delivered a point light system using a component-based architecture, integrating GPU scene updates and GLSL shader development to enable dynamic light management and improved visual fidelity. Subsequently, implemented a clustered lighting rendering pipeline with C++ and compute shaders, optimizing lighting calculations through spatial clustering and light culling. These features enhanced scalability and performance for scenes with many lights, supporting richer environments while reducing per-frame costs. The work aligned with the engine’s rendering roadmap and established a foundation for future lighting improvements.

February 2025 monthly summary for BredaUniversityGames/Y2024-25-PR-BB: Delivered a clustered lighting rendering feature to enable scalable lighting in scenes with many lights. Implemented compute shaders and rendering pipelines for cluster generation and light culling, and updated point light components and the lighting shader to leverage the clustered approach. This work was completed via PR #138 (commit 0ca152749f21f31445b318b2f3af990fd62a0088). The feature lays groundwork for performance improvements on target hardware and smoother frame rates in complex scenes, enabling higher visual fidelity without sacrificing performance. Business value: improves scalability of lighting, supports richer scenes, and reduces per-frame cost; aligns with rendering roadmap and future-proofing of the engine."
