Principles for 3D game systems.
1. Vertex Processing → Transform geometry
2. Rasterization → Convert to pixels
3. Fragment Processing → Color pixels
4. Output → To screen
| Technique | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Frustum culling | Don't render off-screen |
| Occlusion culling | Don't render hidden |
| LOD | Less detail at distance |
| Batching | Combine draw calls |
| Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Vertex | Position, normals |
| Fragment/Pixel | Color, lighting |
| Compute | General computation |
| Shape | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Box | Buildings, crates |
| Sphere | Balls, quick checks |
| Capsule | Characters |
| Mesh | Terrain (expensive) |
| Type | Use |
|---|---|
| Third-person | Action, adventure |
| First-person | Immersive, FPS |
| Isometric | Strategy, RPG |
| Orbital | Inspection, editors |
| Type | Use |
|---|---|
| Directional | Sun, moon |
| Point | Lamps, torches |
| Spot | Flashlight, stage |
| Ambient | Base illumination |
| Distance | Model |
|---|---|
| Near | Full detail |
| Medium | 50% triangles |
| Far | 25% or billboard |
| ❌ Don't | ✅ Do |
|---|---|
| Mesh colliders everywhere | Simple shapes |
| Real-time shadows on mobile | Baked or blob shadows |
| One LOD for all distances | Distance-based LOD |
| Unoptimized shaders | Profile and simplify |
Remember: 3D is about illusion. Create the impression of detail, not the detail itself.
This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
Use when CrossFrame Suite routes explicit Chinese casebook work: turning materials into reusable cases, anonymized entries, mechanisms, and retrieval indexes.
Use only when the user explicitly names crossframe-critical for a Chinese structural critique dossier, article plan, or long-form critical essay.
Use when CrossFrame Suite routes explicit Chinese proposition testing, debate analysis, hidden-premise review, rebuttal design, or withdrawal condition checks.
Use when CrossFrame Suite routes explicit Chinese reader replies, editor responses, consultation-style short answers, or boundary-aware structural advice.
Use when explicit CrossFrame work needs a Chinese critical insight essay, commentary, concept essay, public piece, or structure-to-article draft after diagnosis.
Use when CrossFrame Suite routes explicit Chinese notes for books, theories, articles, excerpts, bidirectional reading, absorption, or conflict mapping.
