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

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 ).

You may have already seen some of this content on social media, in blog posts, or in alpha release notes. It has been a long road to Godot 4.0 What's new?

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. And for people doing engine development, there’s a new dev_build option which can be used together with target to enable dev-specific code and also affects a few presets.

Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. In Godot, unlike in other engines, probes are also implemented as dual paraboloid. Other popular game engines present hard edges between one probe and the next. TODO for Milestone #3 (December 2016). Implement the new version of the Godot SVO-based Light Baker.

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. Rendering engineers are rare to find, so this can be a starting point. As for DirectX12, it's only relevant for Windows/UWP, so there is no strong incentive for us to support it as a cross-platform engine.
