Thanks to all pre-release testers who help us find and debug regressions! Note that the project settings from the rendering/quality/2d section have now been moved to rendering/2d , so if you used any of those, you will need to re-enable them under the new section in 3.2.4. stable soon™. Stay tuned for more info!

New dynamic BVH for rendering and the GodotPhysics backends. If you experience a regression in either physics or rendering, you can try these Project Settings to revert back to the previous Octree-based approach and possibly fix the issue. Core: Disable decayment of freed Objects to null in debug builds ( GH-41866 ).

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. Running the whole graphics rendering in a separate thread.

This means having lots of lights no longer creates a performance hit on the rendering pipeline, since all we need to do is sample a single texture and we get the amount of light coming from all light sources. These can only be dealt with manually while debugging. light mapper is based on the same approach used in global illumination.
