This RC 6 has a few notable changes compared to the previous build: In RC 4, async shader compilation and caching was enabled by default on desktop, but several users reported issues with it on some hardware. You can enable it in the Project Settings ( rendering/gles3/shaders/shader_compilation_mode ). Estébanez ( RandomShaper )!

Several other areas got improvements, like the editor (which has been vastly reworked), UI system, multiplayer, navigation, audio, animation, etc. A lot more.

Our script editor maintainer, Paul Batty ( Paulb23 ), implemented initial support for multi-caret editing in TextEdit, which is therefore usable in the GDScript and shader editors, as well as any other multi-line text field in the editor. Animation: Add animation slices for individual animations ( GH-40274 ).

Materials and shaders. New audio engine. 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. Materials and shaders.

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. For example: On GLES3+ we can use UBOs to optimize shader parameters. Shader abstraction. Most game engines nowadays start with HLSL or CG as a base and offer it to the user directly.
