Ghost of Tsushima: Procedural Grass

The diagram illustrates a data pipeline architecture. On the left, there are two vertical gray boxes, each labeled "instance data buffer". Arrows from these buffers feed into a series of four horizontal processing blocks. Each block is composed of four colored segments: a blue segment labeled "compute 1", a blue segment labeled "compute 2", a green segment labeled "vertex", and an orange segment labeled "pixel". The first block is connected to the top "instance data buffer". The second block is connected to the bottom "instance data buffer". The third block is connected to the top "instance data buffer". The fourth block is connected to the bottom "instance data buffer". The pipeline shows a staggered flow where data from both buffers is processed in parallel through the same sequence of stages.

A graph illustrating a curve controlled by bend. The x-axis ranges from 0 to 10, and the y-axis ranges from 0 to 8. A blue curve starts at the origin (0,0) and ends at approximately (9, 9). A black dot marks the midpoint of the curve at approximately (3, 8.5), labeled "midpoint". An orange arrow points from the text "controlled by bend" to the curve, indicating the parameter that controls the curve's shape.

The image shows a 3D perspective view of a textured surface, possibly a ground plane with a green and brown pattern. A black Bezier curve is drawn on the surface. A yellow arrow labeled "surface normal" points upwards from a vertex on the curve. A grey arrow labeled "Bezier derivative" points along the curve, indicating the direction of the derivative at that point. The curve is composed of several segments, and the derivative arrow is shown at one of the vertices.

This image displays a 3D visualization of a point cloud or a mesh, likely generated from a depth sensor like a LiDAR scanner. The surface is represented by a grid of points or small squares, each colored according to its vertical position (height or depth). The color scheme follows a gradient: blue and purple for the lowest points, transitioning through green and yellow to red and orange for the highest points. The terrain features a prominent central depression or valley, with a small, dark, vertical object standing within it. The background is dark, suggesting a night-time scan or a lack of ambient light, with some faint outlines of trees or structures visible in the distance.
