In this build, we also built it for 32-bit platforms (armv7 and x86) as there was some demand for it, so you'll find the APK is a bit heavier. This adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. The previous beta 3 introduced a brand new Android editor port! back in 2020!

A new software skinning for MeshInstance to replace the slow GPU skinning on devices that don't support the fast GPU skinning (especially mobile). Font: Load dynamic fonts to memory on all platforms to avoid locked files ( GH-44117 ). Rendering: Disable lights for objects with baked lighting ( GH-41629 ).

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. Just set up the probe bounds and do a fast pre-bake of static objects.

Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. The new NavigationServer supports fully dynamic environments and on-the-fly navigation mesh baking. Currently, mobile and web platforms are not available, with support likely coming in Godot 4.1. Web platform.

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. Given GLES2 isn't going to disappear any time soon due to low end mobile devices, we still need to support it for a few more years to come. And the list goes on. Rasterizer design. Godot uses OpenGL ES 3.0

Here you can see the Sponza demo model, with baked direct lighting, and the corresponding light map: Note that this first pass is not taking occlusion into account yet. Godot, being an open source game engine, was built with a never-ending wish of adding new features to it. That will be added in the following weeks. Next steps.
