Entry 1 SE announced the next expansion for Final Fantasy XIV was named “Endwalker”(EW). It meant to be the end of the saga between Zodiark and Hydaelyn. In the teaser trailer, WoL became the PLD and walked on the moon. It seems that Garlemald is not the only map we’ll going to visit, but also the moon itself. Alphinaud also revealed his new power from the new shield healer job, Sage....
Compute Shader It transfers some computation from CPU to GPU by HLSL code. Hence the name has “compute” and “shader”.

Unity Lighting System Direct light is light that is emitted, hits a surface and is then reflected directly into a sensor. Indirect light is all other light that is ultimately reflected into a sensor, including sky light. Reali-time lighting is calculated at runtime, while baked lighting is calculated in advance and is saved as lighting data.

Sprite Billboard https://www.reddit.com/r/Unity3D/comments/ahqbod/a_billboard_sprite_shader_in_only_one_axis/ To make the sprite look at the camera all the time (billboard)_ View space is a rotated version of world space with the xy plane parallel to the view plane. It’s intuitive to make the billboard in here. First we transform the origin in the view coordinates and then float4 newVertex = mul(UNITY_MATRIX_P, mul(UNITY_MATRIX_MV, float4(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)) + float4(input.vertex.x, input.vertex.y, 0.0, 1.0)); We can also cancel out the rotation before the model matrix and then apply the view matrix....
