Stumbled across this, a graphics programmer with his dissection and interpretation of the GTA V rendering pipe. Very neat. Explains how their water rendering works, lens flares, depth of field, level of detail, etc.

I love hearing about all the tradeoffs required to keep such a massive and beautiful game running at interactive framerates. Speaks volumes about the team's skills, kudos to Rockstar!

Yeah someone's been having fun with RenderDoc. Really cool to see a breakdown of the rendering pipes, obviously GTA5 is like an incredible accomplishment. Especially cool to see under the hood what with Rockstar's policy of sharing absolutely nothing, with anyone, ever.
