Rendering Skinned Crowds in Unity

Gabriel de la Cruz will be giving a talk on rendering skinned crowds efficiently — real techniques for animating thousands of characters at once.

Gabriel de la Cruz - Senior Graphics Engineer, Unity

We'll look at baking bone animations into textures, moving transform data off the CPU entirely, and then performing the skinning directly in the shader — sampling that baked data per-vertex to animate massive crowds without tanking performance.
