- interview discussing the details of the Gear 5 implementation
- all post-processing and UI rendering is done post-upscaling in the output resolution
- using Relaxed Cone Stepping for extra details instead of parallax occlusion mapping
- a mix of shadow maps and ray-traced distance field shadows
- tutorial explaining how to implement a Caustics effect in unity
- uses a tileable texture, that is sampled multiple times
- slight offsets in RGB sample locations allow for color shifting across channels

- including the building of test scenes, early clarification of constraints and constant checking of assumptions
- setting budgets early simplifies expectations and possibilities
Ubisoft RedLynx is a multiplatform game development studio located in Helsinki. Along with the hugely popular Trials series, we have developed and published more than 100 games and we are a passionate team of over 140 people of 21 different nationalities. We are seeking an experienced Graphics Programmer to join our core technology team in creating impactful game experiences
