New improvements for GPUParticles in Godot 4.0

Mircosoft Game Dev

Additionally, a 3D vector field texture can be provided for use with vector fields generated in Maya or other tools. They are dynamic and can be moved around in real-time, colliding with any particle system which matches the cull mask. Baked SDF Collision. It bakes an area of a custom resolution as a signed distance field.

Godot 3's renderer design explained

Mircosoft Game Dev

At the end of the day, the use case where Vulkan and DirectX12 make the most sense is when you have hundreds of thousands of objects, which are all different (different geometry, textures, etc.), Detect when shaders read from screen texture and automatically copy screen to back-buffer on demand. Great alpha blending support.

Optimize Vegetation Generation

I just toggled the “Baked Pivots” option in the shader to ON. Subdividing the mesh in Cinema4D’s sculpting mode and baking a displacement map works great. The foliage shader has an alpha cutout value and uses a texture + culling set to off (it is visible from both sides of the planes).

with 17 alpha builds distributed in 2022, and continuous development effort since 2019. You may have already seen some of this content on social media, in blog posts, or in alpha release notes. Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. Check out the video! What's new?

Godot 3.0 is out and ready for the big leagues

Mircosoft Game Dev

Just set up the probe bounds and do a fast pre-bake of static objects. Still, this workflow is easy and efficient as 3D objects get a second set of UVs generated on import, and baking works with instantiated meshes, scenes and even GridMaps. Both indirect light and voxel reflections are provided by this technique. Still, Godot 3.0
