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.

After more than 18 months of development, all Godot Engine contributors are proud to present our biggest release so far, Godot 3.0! 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 Materials and shaders. GPU particles.

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. For example: On GLES3+ we can use UBOs to optimize shader parameters. Shader abstraction. On GLES2, regular uniforms are used.

Implement Particle Shaders, with support for: Sorting, Collision and Soft Particles. 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. uses GLES 3.0
