alpha builds , we're trying to release 3.5 Following on from the addition of OccluderShapeSphere in 3.4 , lawnjelly now brings us a more adaptable and easy way to add basic occlusion culling in the form of the OccluderShapePolygon. Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view. We're getting closer to the Godot 3.5

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). For example, this is how a regular grass mesh would look when exported as fbx from Cinema4D into Unity. And it has just twelve vertices.

Rendering: Added Viewport canvas cull mask feature ( GH-52350 ). Rendering: Use opaque rendering pipeline for alpha hash materials ( GH-61884 ). Rendering: Fix alpha hash by correcting typos and doing calculations in object space ( GH-68673 ). Rendering: Default to OpenGL3 driver when using the project manager ( GH-67593 ).

It can be directly in the AS build calls or in some related task like the culling of the objects. Cull instances for TLAS. Instead, cull instances depending on the situation. For example, consider culling based on an expanded camera frustum. Moving the CPU work to one or more worker threads is potentially beneficial.

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. Rendering: Vulkan: Fix culling of negatively-scaled objects ( GH-67176 ). We’re now at beta 3, making good progress on fixing the issues that testers are reporting.

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. It was added relatively recently and so has not been tested in the alphas as much as other features. It has been a long road to Godot 4.0

Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. Mid-Processing is the effects that are applied in the middle of rendering, before alpha pass and post-processing. TODO for Milestone #3 (December 2016). Implement the new version of the Godot SVO-based Light Baker. Add Clustered lighting (before this all is forward).

Given the high control we have over the shader compiler, we can: Detect when shaders write to the alpha channel and automatically make the surface go via the transparent pipeline. Great alpha blending support. If set as exterior, they will blend with the sky for the remaining cone trace alpha. Less memory bandwidth wasted.

It parses your code and automatically understands what you are trying to do (such as writing to alpha for transparency, reading from screen, etc.) will bring a new and more powerful animation tree, modern occlusion culling, improved rendering and a GLES 2.0 In Godot 3.0, writing shaders is very easy! Help make Godot better!
