Godot 3's renderer design explained

SEPTEMBER 23, 2017

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. This document was written in hopes to find more developers that would like to help us write rendering code, as it explains the overall design. Rendering engineers are rare to find, so this can be a starting point.
