REAL TIME RAY TRACING MADE EASIER RTX Direct Illumination (RTXDI) Imagine adding millions of dynamic lights to your game environments without worrying about performance or resource constraints. RTXDI makes this possible while rendering in real time. Geometry of any shape can now emit light and cast appropriate shadows: Tiny LEDs.

New option to snap 2D transforms to whole coordinates , helps prevent jitter on pixel art camera motions. 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. New CPU lightmapper.

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. Dynamic BVH for rendering and GodotPhysics. Rendering: Unified 2D batching. More rendering improvements. When we released Godot 3.2

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. This may change in the future, though.

Notable changes are in-editor class reference translations (so far Chinese (Simplified), Spanish, and some French), some new rendering features (high quality glow mode, 3D point light attenuation option), and a number of C# marshalling fixes. Rendering: Rooms and portals-based occlusion culling ( GH-46130 ).
