It feels great to be back to doing graphics programming after two months refactoring the core engine. A very common complaint when using shadowmaps in Godot is that tweaking shadow bias is extremely difficult compared to other game engines. Decals are now supported in the engine.

What we actually need though is a version of Unity because we have the hub, but we actually need the editor and engine itself. It doesn’t matter for now.

In those applications, animation is edited as Bezier curves and many times happens naturally as a result of modifiers such as IK (Inverse Kinematics). This creates animations 5 to 10 times smaller and stores them in a format that is very friendly for streaming (a feature that may be implemented in future versions of the engine).
