Rapper’s Delight Word Cloud

Prepared by Nick Shelton nshelton@gmail.com for Rap Research Lab LLC 1/15/20

Rendering 5000 TextMeshPro meshes in 1ms for an interactive VR word cloud

I started with a naive 5000 TextMeshPro gameobjects, which could take 30ms CPU and GPU, and made a new system that took 1ms CPU and GPU and still looked dope.

m_primitive should be a prefab with a small collider (scale like 0.005). Run the script and then put a small collider in the center to get things to start sticking to it. May take some time. Also set growthRoot to some gameobject, that's where the primitives will be instantiated.

Graphics Programming / Demoscene Resources

I get a lot of requests for resources about how I learned about raymarching fractals or general computer graphics stuff. So I started this handy guide where I will add links and info about where I learned some things.

This is a non-exhaustive list I will probably add more in the future.

Reference

It used to be that you had to dig through FractalForums or pouet.net to find little nuggets of new techniques or ideas. But many smart people that have been doing much longer than I have condensed this knowledge into some articles. Here are a few that have helped me out on my journey.

Mercury Demogroup

Mercury.sexy demogroup has created a distance field library with some cool stuff in there. Except they said that fractals are boring.
