To show the benefits of GDeflate, we measured system performance without compression, with standard CPU-side decompression, and with GPU-accelerated GDeflate decompression on a representative game-focused dataset, containing texture and geometry data. GDeflate is available as a standard GPU decompression option in DirectStorage 1.1—a

Donations and corporate grants play a vital role in enabling us to develop Godot at this sustained pace, since they are our only source of income, and are used 100% to pay developers to work on the engine. The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime.

Preface In the last article , Kylin shared how to add your own post-effect Shader in the custom render pipeline in Cocos Creator 3.8. However, based on the BlitScreen solution, we can only write the simplest post-effect Shader. Today Kylin will use Gaussian blur to demonstrate how to write a multi-pass post-effect shader.

in January 2020, we switched the development focus towards the upcoming Godot 4.0 , which is a major, compatibility-breaking rewrite of the engine's core and rendering. Additional funding will enable us to hire more core developers to work full-time on the engine, and thus further improve its development pace and stability.

When the user turns on high-precision lightmap baking, 16-bit colors are used instead of 8-bit colors, and AO channels are baked separately.

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. Rendering engineers are rare to find, so this can be a starting point. For example: On GLES3+ we can use UBOs to optimize shader parameters. Shader abstraction. On GLES2, regular uniforms are used.
