Another couple of weeks, another alpha snapshot from the development branch, this time with 4.0 Adds TileMap terrain center bit to support "connect" and "path" draw modes ( GH-61809 ). Be aware that during the alpha stage the engine is still not feature-complete or stable. alpha builds.

alpha 1 ― the first official alpha build of our upcoming major milestone, enabling all interested users to try it out and report bugs, as well as provide feedback on the new features. branch, we're going to release new alpha builds every other week, so that testers can always have a recent version to test the latest changes.

I export the rendered terrain from Blender as a RGBA image but with alpha value set to depth. The custom terrain shader uses the z-channel to draw water in lower areas of the level. The graphics backend rewrite took a while. However, the situation is now good. So it’s RGBZ.

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. 2D: Make TileMap terrain painting not change neighbors centers bits ( GH-67390 ). Rendering: Add OpenGL timer queries to OpenGL3 backend ( GH-67032 ).

Since the last post I’ve been working on the terrain’s vegetation. Static batching : combines static (not moving) GameObjects into big Meshes, and renders them in a faster way.   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).

In order to solve this problem, we use an algorithm similar to Bresenham's line algorithm, which had been implemented in Bullet by Zylann , a Godot contributor who is also behind the Godot Heightmap Terrain plugin. The contribution brings a new dynamic BVH for 3D physics and rendering (see here for more details). Soft body physics.
