Requirements for game worlds are ever-increasing, being more realistic, more interactive, and larger than ever before. This means that there is a ton of content to be authored, but also large amounts of data to pass through pipelines and workflows to the engine runtime. Remedy has been working on a new data pipeline and technology stack for the Northlight engine that allows us to optimize entity data for authoring at edit time, and performance at runtime, while keeping near-instant iteration times for world editing workflows. The fundamental parts of this technology are OpenUSD for authoring, and Northlight's transformative live-edit pipeline that enables entity modifications to be applied to a running game process on the fly. In this presentation, Sebastian shares how we keep the editor and runtime data representations separated, how the data is transformed, and how the real-time editing between the editor and runtime works in practice.
Attendees are expected to learn how Remedy has integrated OpenUSD into their data pipelines for world building, and how the Northlight engine implements a live-editable data pipeline for transforming USD scenes into an efficient runtime format in real-time.
Programmers working on or interested about game engine design and data pipelines. To be able to fully enjoy this presentation intermediate technical expertise is expected.
