Let me start with a quick overview of the state of the rendering pipeline after we finished Total War: Attila. Porting to DirectX® 12 opened up new opportunities and helped us to better understand the graphics hardware. Working closely with AMD was a great help achieving our goals. We’re extremely lucky to have Tamas Rabel, Lead Graphics Programmer on the Total War series providing us with a detailed look at the Total War renderer as well as digging deep into some of the optimizations that the team at Creative Assembly did for the brilliant, Total War: Warhammer.ĭuring the development of Total War: Warhammer the primary focus of the Graphics Team was performance and stability. For the next few weeks we’ll be having a regular feature on GPUOpen that we’ve affectionately dubbed “Warhammer Wednesdays”.
