But the “1” in beta 1 means that it’s only the first step of the journey, and like for the alpha phase, we’re going to release new beta snapshots roughly every other week. The reception of beta 1 was surprisingly good – we’re happy to see the community tinker with the beta, report bugs and provide feedback on the new features.

We needed a test framework because physics features have many different use cases, and it's easy to break something while fixing or improving something else. Godot Physics features. The transition requires adding missing features that were supported only with Bullet. Cylinder collision shape. Heightmap collision shape.

In parallel to our work on Godot 3.5 ( with a first beta ) and 4.0 ( now at alpha 2! ), we backport important fixes to the stable 3.4 Core: Fix ProjectSettings.has_setting() to handle feature overrides like get_setting() ( GH-57972 ). GridMap: Fix "Convert to MeshLibrary" not respecting collision transforms ( GH-56907 ).

The GLES2 backend is a forward renderer, that means each gets shaded once. The counter-part - deferred rendering - renders each of the objects properties into a separate framebuffer. The GLES3 backend can render all lights for each object in one pass, unfortunately I can't go down that route :(.

There were a few very important features that we didn’t manage to review in time for previous betas, and which have now been implemented in beta 3. Major changes.

A shader is a script where you write code that determines how the colors will be rendered based on various scenarios like lighting and material configuration. The ZWrite Off and ZTest Greater are responsible for making the shader render the material behind other objects.

with 17 alpha builds distributed in 2022, and continuous development effort since 2019. Like in previous release cycles, a beta release means that we are happy with the features that have been included and we don’t plan on adding any major new features before release (except for a few that have been discussed and planned in advance).

It's been a month since the first progress report , and progress continues towards the new Godot renderer. Little by little every system falls into place, and rendering starts feeling a lot more mature. Implement Particle Shaders, with support for: Sorting, Collision and Soft Particles. Add Layered/Stencil rendering.

It brings a brand new rendering engine with state-of-the-art PBR workflow for 3D, an improved assets pipeline, GDNative to load native code as plugins, C# 7.0 support, Bullet as the 3D physics engine, and many other features which are described in depth below. New features of Godot 3.0. and that we'd better focus fully on 3.0

The main one was performance due to every light being rendered in a separate draw pass. A very requested feature for the 2D engine is the possibility to have 2D directional lights and shadows. The regular CanvasOccluders have a new option to enable them for SDF rendering. Improved 2D lighting. This has been added for 4.0
