In parallel to our work on the upcoming feature releases Godot 3.5 ( with a first beta ) and 4.0 ( now at alpha 3! ), we backport important fixes to the stable 3.4 GridMap: Fix "Convert to MeshLibrary" not respecting collision transforms ( GH-56907 ). Rendering: Fix invalid read when using LightOccluder2D ( GH-56859 ).

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. David Snopek ( dsnopek ) got WebXR minimally working again ( GH-64514 ) using the WebGL 2 renderer implemented by Clay John ( clayjohn ). So here’s beta 2!

Cylinder collision shape. One of the requirements was adding support for cylinder shapes in Godot's custom collision detection system. Technical details: Godot Physics is almost entirely based on the SAT algorithm for collision detection, but cylinders can't entirely rely on that. Heightmap collision shape.

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 :(.

By default, it needs to render, so it needs its mesh renderer as well as it comes with a collider by default. So if there was collision to happen in the scene, this would have a method to handle it. Like for example, we have the mesh renderer that we have up here. (01:55) You could just do five, which is alpha five.

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.

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.

The main one was performance due to every light being rendered in a separate draw pass. The regular CanvasOccluders have a new option to enable them for SDF rendering. while(accum < max_dist) { float d = texture_sdf(at); accum+=d; if (d < 0.01) { break; } at += d * dir; } float alpha = 1.0-min(1.0,accum/max_dist);
