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 ).

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. Don't worry, though, you will be able to reap the benefits of these new features without sacrificing your game's performance.

Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. Other popular game engines present hard edges between one probe and the next. 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 Mid-Processing.

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. They allow very high-budget games to run better and, in the long run, make the job of writing drivers MUCH simpler to hardware manufacturers. Great alpha blending support. Shader abstraction.

The new 3D engine is outstanding, with many features out-of-the-box that are still not common in other mainstream engines. The new 3D renderer is state-of-the-art, with features rarely see in game engines today, such as: Full principled BSDF. In Godot 3.0, writing shaders is very easy! Bullet Physics backend.
