using data oriented algorithms to process the culling of objects and both secondary command buffers and automatic batching to efficiently submit the draw primitives. Several other areas got improvements, like the editor (which has been vastly reworked), UI system, multiplayer, navigation, audio, animation, etc. A lot more.

Rendering: Portal occlusion culling. Other areas: Animation "reset" track. Portal occlusion culling. Up till now a significant missing feature in the renderer has been the ability to cull (prevent rendering) objects that are within the camera view, but occluded by another object (for instance a wall).

 When batched, the animations from the Advanced Foliage Shader go a bit crazy and make the grass float around. 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). That’s it. When And it has just twelve vertices.

New vertex formats allow many more custom shaders and cases to take advantage of batching than before, and optional 2D software skinning has been added which should allow using 2D skeletal animation on a far wider range of hardware than was previously available. Various light culling fixes. New CPU lightmapper. For Godot 4.0,

Several new optimization techniques are also at your disposal, such as occlusion culling , automatic mesh LOD , and manual HLOD using visibility ranges , made possible by Joan Fons ( JFonS ), and Juan. Read more about animation changes in this blog post by Juan. Among them is the new animation retargeting system.

Godot will pick the right compression for textures when importing for mobile, and supply them over the network. Still, Godot 3.0

At the end of the day, the use case where Vulkan and DirectX12 make the most sense is when you have hundreds of thousands of objects, which are all different (different geometry, textures, etc.), Detect when shaders read from screen texture and automatically copy screen to back-buffer on demand. On a texture, a dual paraboloid is used.
