The technical characteristics of the engine in Path of Exile 2

Developer Grinding Gear Games released the exciting Path of Exile 2 in mid-November 2019. The game kernel has also received some fundamental improvements with the merger of the two games. This time summarizes the technical delicacies that players are happy to see and the improved POE Currency.

ExileCon is exhibited internally. The Path of Exile game team of Grinding Gear Games released about 60 minutes of video. Senior programmer Alexander Sannikov showed great patience and explained the development of the renderer in an easy-to-understand way.

Sannikov explained that because you have to support a variety of systems-from consoles to various powerful PCs, the path of exile graphics development has always focused on performance. Path of Exile has a special function: here, the "stacking" of skills leads to epic proportions. Finally, "the screen is full of what you just submitted." When developing a new technology, you must consider that someone combines it with a skill and completely loses control.

Despite all the disadvantages, the forward rendering pipeline cannot be simply converted into a deferred pipeline. But you still want to switch the entire engine to PBR, which is based on physical rendering. Now that it has become the standard, there is nothing special about it. But Sannikov announced a truly unique technology created for Path of Exile, which is unlikely to be found in any other game or anywhere. He is particularly proud of the spotlight shadow algorithm, which is very complex. But it can be calculated very efficiently and looks good at the same time.

Grinding Games developers are also proud of the efficient global lighting (GI) inside the screen area. Due to the dynamic nature of the game, Path of Exile 2 also requires this technology and cannot rely on baking or RTX. The dynamic level generation system does not allow the interaction between level tiles to be calculated in advance. The entire algorithm and the shadow of the point light source are completely processed by the GPU, which is important for Path of Exile. The other topics in the really interesting video are ray casting, refraction, and aquatic computing.

According to the website's data, the release date of Path of Exile 2 has not yet been determined, but beta is unlikely to start before the end of 2020. For smooth entertainment in future games, players are advised to accumulate enough combat experience in Path of Exile. But it is well known that the difficulty of Path of Exile is not low. Players must resort to enough Path of Exile Currency to make it smooth in the game. However, the cost of the official game store exceeds the budget of most players. So most players go to Buy POE Currency through agents. Appropriate agents must have the three conditions of good service, cheap price and guaranteed transaction security. POECurrency is one of the most worth choosing among them. More than 90% of the products on the site are cheaper than the market, and they have a 100% secure online payment system. And if in doubt, customer service will respond to players' questions within 20 seconds. They are absolutely trustworthy. Enjoy it!
