一、前序
1. 介紹
Nanite是UE5中虛擬幾何體（Virtualized Geometry System）的系統(tǒng)，主要用途是高效率渲染的高面數(shù)模型。Nanite會為模型自動生成LOD結(jié)構(gòu)，與傳統(tǒng)LOD不同，Nanite的LOD不再是每個模型的，而是精細(xì)到模型中的局部區(qū)域，藝術(shù)家不需再為制作或處理LOD煩惱。并且還能享有GPU Driven的高效剔除，單個繪制調(diào)用的好處。
2. 技術(shù)要點
Nanite技術(shù)結(jié)合了多種技術(shù)做到了高效渲染：
1. Cluster Rendering：由Cluster組織三角形，可以享有更高效的剔除。
2. Auto LOD：通過Graph Partitioning技術(shù)劃分和簡化模型構(gòu)建LOD，并且把數(shù)據(jù)組織成BVH結(jié)構(gòu)在Runtime時候可以高效地并行選擇LOD，通過這種方式構(gòu)建的LOD過渡非常絲滑。
3. GPU Driven Pipeline：由GPU驅(qū)動的繪制，減少了CPU的性能開銷。
4. Occlusion Culling：更細(xì)顆粒的遮擋剔除，用于剔除不可見的三角形。
5. Hardware/Software Rasterization：由于小三角形對于硬件光柵化非常不友好，所以針對這些三角形用Compute Shader執(zhí)行軟光柵提高效率。
6. Visibility Buffer：利用Visibility Buffer減少Overdraw，進(jìn)一步提高GPU效率。
7. Streaming：加載只看到的相關(guān)數(shù)據(jù)，減少幾何體對內(nèi)存的壓力。
3. 本文效果
由于Nanite系統(tǒng)非常龐大和有非常多的工程細(xì)節(jié)要處理，所以本文會簡化和略過一些東西，僅實現(xiàn)核心部分，而且會與有UE5的版本有點出入。
下圖是本文實現(xiàn)的效果，每個色塊是一個三角形，可以看出LOD切換和相機(jī)剔除都非常絲滑。
色塊表示三角面
色塊表示Cluster
二、實現(xiàn)
1. Clusterize
第一步，在離線階段處理，將復(fù)雜的超高精度網(wǎng)格模型高效且合理地分割成更小、更易于管理的簇（Cluster），每個Cluster最多128個三角形。這種劃分不是簡單的切割，而是旨在最小化簇與簇之間連接的邊數(shù)（即切割大?。?，同時保持每個簇的大小大致均衡。
UE使用的Partition是Metis庫：
https://github.com/KarypisLab/METIS
實現(xiàn)代碼可以參考UE5的源碼部分：
UnrealEngine-release\Engine\Source\Developer\NaniteBuilder\Private\NaniteBuilder.cpp
本文使用meshoptimizer實現(xiàn)Mesh的切分Cluster和Partition功能，這個庫功能還有優(yōu)化Over Draw，Shadow Depth Index等功能：
https://github.com/zeux/meshoptimizer
我們新建一個C++導(dǎo)出DLL的工程，封裝幾個主要函數(shù)讓Unity可以使用。其實代碼量不多，翻譯成C# 直接用也可以。
分別是：
meshopt_buildMeshlets（構(gòu)建Cluster）
meshopt_partitionClusters（Cluster劃分Partition）
meshopt_buildMeshletsBound（計算Cluster數(shù)量）
meshopt_computeSphereBounds（合并BoundsSphere）
在C# 中引用這些函數(shù)：
unsafe static List clusterize(Vector3[] vertices, int[] indices)
{
constint max_vertices = 192; // TODO: depends on kClusterSize, also may want to dial down for mesh shaders
constint max_triangles = kClusterSize; //128
constint min_triangles = (kClusterSize / 3) & ~3;
constfloat split_factor = 2.0f;
constfloat fill_weight = 0.75f;
int max_meshlets = BuildMeshletsBound(indices.Length, max_vertices, max_triangles);//meshopt_buildMeshletsBound
var meshlets = new Meshlet[max_meshlets * 2];
var meshlet_vertices = newint[max_meshlets * max_vertices];
var meshlet_triangles = newbyte[max_meshlets * max_triangles * 3];
var meshlet_count = BuildMeshletFlex(meshlets, meshlet_vertices, meshlet_triangles, indices, indices.Length, vertices, vertices.Length, sizeof(float) * 3, max_vertices, min_triangles, max_triangles, 0.0f,
split_factor);//meshopt_buildMeshlets
List clusters = new List (meshlet_count);
for (int i = 0; i < meshlet_count; i++)
{
ref Meshlet meshlet = ref meshlets[i];
fixed (int* ptr = &meshlet_vertices[meshlet.vertex_offset])
{
fixed (byte* ptr2 = &meshlet_triangles[meshlet.triangle_offset])
{
OptimizeMeshlet(ptr, ptr2, (int)meshlet.triangle_count, (int)meshlet.vertex_count);
}
}
Cluster cluster = new Cluster();
cluster.indices = newint[meshlet.triangle_count * 3];
for (int j = 0; j < meshlet.triangle_count * 3; ++j)
cluster.indices[j] =
meshlet_vertices[meshlet.vertex_offset + meshlet_triangles[meshlet.triangle_offset + j]];
cluster.parent.error = float.MaxValue;
clusters.Add(cluster);
}return clusters;
}
然后可以直接通過meshopt_buildMeshlets函數(shù)，獲得每個cluster的indexs。
2. Build DAG
有了這些Cluster，就可以構(gòu)建“LOD”了，只需要循環(huán)這個操作：打組->合并->減面->clusterize。如下圖：
這個過程感覺就像Mipmap一樣，一層一層往上合并和簡化，并記錄一個Err誤差值和Bounds用于運(yùn)行時LOD選擇用。而這些合并的的節(jié)點就叫做Cluster Group。最后得出一個DAG（有向無環(huán)圖，Directed Acyclic Graph）的結(jié)構(gòu)。
public struct ClusterGroup
{
public List Children;
public Vector3 Bounds;
publicfloat radius;
public Vector3 LODBounds;
publicfloat MinLODError;
publicfloat MaxParentLODError;
publicint MipLevel;
}
publicclassNaniteSubMesh
{
public List Group> clusterGroupList;
public List clusterList;
publicint maxMipLevel;
}
static NaniteSubMesh Nanite(Vector3[] vertices,Vector3[] normals, int[] indices)
{
NaniteSubMesh res = new NaniteSubMesh();
List Group> clusterGroupList = new List Group>();
var clusters = clusterize(vertices, indices);
res.clusterList = clusters;
res.clusterGroupList = clusterGroupList;
res.maxMipLevel = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < clusters.Count; ++i)
{
var c = clusters[i];
c.self = Bounds(vertices, clusters[i].indices, 0f);
c.mip = 0;
clusters[i] = c;
}
List pending = new List(clusters.Count);
int[] remap = newint[vertices.Length];
for (int i = 0; i < remap.Length; ++i)
remap[i] = i;
for (int i = 0; i < clusters.Count; ++i)
pending.Add(i);
int curMip = 1;
byte[] locks = newbyte[vertices.Length];
while (pending.Count > 1)
{
List int>> groups = partition(clusters, pending, remap, vertices);
if (kUseLocks)
lockBoundary(locks, groups, clusters, remap);
pending.Clear();
List retry = new List();
int triangles = 0;
int stuck_triangles = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < groups.Count; ++i)
{
var curGroupClusters = groups[i];
if (curGroupClusters.Count == 0)
{
continue; // metis shortcut
}
List merged = new List(vertices.Length);
for (int j = 0; j < curGroupClusters.Count; ++j)
{
merged.AddRange(clusters[curGroupClusters[j]].indices);
}
LODBounds groupb = boundsMerge(clusters, curGroupClusters);
ClusterGroup clusterGroup = new ClusterGroup();
clusterGroup.Bounds = groupb.center;
clusterGroup.MaxParentLODError = groupb.error;
clusterGroup.radius = groupb.radius;
clusterGroup.Children = new List(merged.Count);
clusterGroup.MipLevel = curMip - 1;
for (int j = 0; j < curGroupClusters.Count; ++j)
{
clusterGroup.Children.Add(curGroupClusters[j]);
}
clusterGroupList.Add(clusterGroup);
// aim to reduce group size in half
int target_size = (merged.Count / 3) / 2 * 3;
float error = 0f;
var simplified = simplify(vertices, normals, merged.ToArray(), kUseLocks ? locks : null, target_size,
ref error);
if (simplified.Count > merged.Count * kSimplifyThreshold)
{
stuck_triangles += merged.Count / 3;
for (int j = 0; j < curGroupClusters.Count; ++j)
{
retry.Add(curGroupClusters[j]);
}
continue; // simplification is stuck; abandon the merge
}
// enforce bounds and error monotonicity
// note: it is incorrect to use the precise bounds of the merged or simplified mesh, because this may violate monotonicity
var split = clusterize(vertices, simplified.ToArray());
groupb.error += error; // this may overestimate the error, but we are starting from the simplified mesh so this is a little more correct
// update parent bounds and error for all clusters in the group
// note that all clusters in the group need to switch simultaneously so they have the same bounds
for (int j = 0; j < curGroupClusters.Count; ++j)
{
int clusterIndex = curGroupClusters[j];
var t = clusters[clusterIndex];
t.parent = groupb;
clusters[clusterIndex] = t;
}
for (int j = 0; j < split.Count; ++j)
{
var sj = split[j];
sj.self = groupb;
sj.mip = curMip;
split[j] = sj;
clusters.Add(sj); // std::move
pending.Add(clusters.Count - 1);
triangles += sj.indices.Length / 3;
}
}
curMip++;
}
if (pending.Count == 1)
{
var c = clusters[pending[0]];
ClusterGroup clusterGroup = new ClusterGroup();
clusterGroup.Bounds = c.self.center;
clusterGroup.MaxParentLODError = c.self.error;
clusterGroup.radius = c.self.radius;
clusterGroup.Children = new List(1);
clusterGroup.MipLevel = curMip - 1;
clusterGroup.Children.Add(pending[0]);
clusterGroupList.Add(clusterGroup);
}
res.maxMipLevel = curMip - 1;
return res;
}
static void lockBoundary(byte[] locks, List int>> groups, List clusters, int[] remap)
{
// for each remapped vertex, keep track of index of the group it's in (or -2 if it's in multiple groups)
int[] groupmap = newint[locks.Length];
for (int i = 0; i < groupmap.Length; ++i)
groupmap[i] = -1;
for (int i = 0; i < groups.Count; ++i)
{
var c = groups[i];
for (int j = 0; j < c.Count; ++j)
{
var indices = clusters[c[j]].indices;
for (int k = 0; k < indices.Length; ++k)
{
var v = indices[k];
var r = remap[v];
if (groupmap[r] == -1 || groupmap[r] == i)
groupmap[r] = i;
else
groupmap[r] = -2;
}
}
}// note: we need to consistently lock all vertices with the same position to avoid holes
for (int i = 0; i < locks.Length; ++i)
{
var r = remap[i];
locks[i] = (byte)((groupmap[r] == -2) ? 1 : 0);
}
}
這樣我們得到各級Mip的一系列Clusters。
3. 加速結(jié)構(gòu)
即使把三角形劃分成Clusters數(shù)量也太多，使用Compute Shader來做并行結(jié)算效率也不高，于是Nanite就使用了BVH來作為ClusterGroup的加速結(jié)構(gòu)，然后配合Persistent Threads做查找過濾。
Persistent Threads遍歷BVH部分，有興趣可以參考UE5源碼：Shaders\Private\Nanite\NaniteClusterCulling.usf
UE5中也有不使用Persistent Threads的流程，應(yīng)該說一般默認(rèn)就是不使用的。
UE5源碼部分
個人認(rèn)為Persistent Threads方案在GPU遍歷這種BVH結(jié)構(gòu)有點暴力和重度，所以簡化了一下，把多個Cluster合并成一個剔除單元（Part），先并行對Part做剔除，再對Part里的Cluster去做并行剔除，兩層結(jié)構(gòu)來加速作為Persistent Threads的一個簡單替代方案。
然后把多個Part組織成Page用于分塊加載。材質(zhì)處理細(xì)節(jié)也不同，UE5的材質(zhì)是每個Cluster會記錄MaterialRange，簡單起見這里實現(xiàn)是每個SubMesh會去構(gòu)建獨(dú)立的Clusters。

到這里離線部分基本結(jié)束，可以得到一個Nanite的資源。當(dāng)然UE5原文還做了很多操作，如BVH、Encode、編碼、壓縮、Page的劃分、頂點屬性優(yōu)化等，個人認(rèn)為這些都屬于工程細(xì)節(jié)。
4. 運(yùn)行時資源
來到Runtime部分，我們需要把這個Nanite Mesh加載上來，方便起見，這里直接引用一下資源在腳本上，偷懶省略加載部分。
把資源、Object、材質(zhì)信息整合起來，傳到GPU的Buffer中。這里做法很不正式還是偷懶來處理。當(dāng)然也可以用Compute Shader來更新Page數(shù)據(jù)到GPUBuffer中。

5. 剔除
這時離線時候已經(jīng)把Clusters扁平化到數(shù)組中了，這些Clusters是可以并行進(jìn)行剔除的，巧妙之處是他記錄了父級的誤差和自己的誤差，當(dāng)我們傳入誤差系數(shù)時候就可以獨(dú)立地判斷自己是否被剔除，而和上下級無關(guān)。
先從CPU發(fā)起剔除Compute Shader的Dispatch。這里因為組織數(shù)據(jù)時候就知道了所有Object最大的Parts/Cluster數(shù)量，所以直接用這個數(shù)去Dispatch了。
Objects剔除：
根據(jù)Object找到NaniteMesh的Parts進(jìn)行Culling：
ClustersCulling：
6. 軟光柵
略。
7. VisibilityBuffer
VBuffer主要用來減少Overdraw，著色器直接輸出InstanceID、ClusterID、材質(zhì)ID。然后用這個VBuffer來計算頂點數(shù)據(jù)來著色。
這個得益于GPUDriven的好處，一個DrawProceduralIndirect就可以繪制所有物體了：
一次DrawProceduralIndirect繪制多個物體
VBuffer存哪些屬性，多少位，都是工程細(xì)節(jié)這里就不考究了。
8. 著色
有了VBuffer就需要逐材質(zhì)進(jìn)行繪制，原文是材質(zhì)ID分Tile組合IndirectDraw畫Quad的思想。
需要注意一下這里VBuffer通過三角重心插值求出的UV是不能直接采樣貼圖的，因為DDXY不對，所以需求重新計算，計算的代碼放下面。并且利用SampleGrad（samplerName, coord2, dpdx, dpdy）來采樣。
