and included in this release candidate are: Asynchronous shader compilation + caching (ubershader) ( GH-53411 ). A long awaited solution to shader compilation stuttering on OpenGL, courtesy Pedro J. The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime.

The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. Godot can render at frame rates independent from the fixed physics tick rate. Enable this setting and Godot will automatically interpolate objects, smoothing out rendered frames.

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.

Almost every 3D asset is painted using only one atlas texture. As I mentioned before – almost every 3D object uses the same atlas texture. We created 4 UV sets of each car and wrote a shader that swaps them. We tried to solve this issue with Unity’s Line Renderer, but that tool doesn’t allow to do it properly.

It also adds a much-requested minimap to GraphEdit , and thus to the VisualScript and Visual Shader editors. GLES2: Fix glow on devices with only 8 texture slots ( GH-42446 ). GLES2: Use separate texture unit for light_texture ( GH-42538 ). Rendering: Add fast approximate antialiasing (FXAA) to Viewport ( GH-42006 ).

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. In general, various data types, such as texture and geometry, compress at different ratios.

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.

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.

Project: Allow undocking the Script editor and the Shader editor. In this project, I'll focus to make the Script editor and the Shader editor undockable, and keep the undocked windows after editor restarts. Detaching the Script editor and the Shader editor is done for the most part. Also, there are some bugs to be fixed.

We know many users are excited about the coming improvements to 2D and 3D rendering in 4.0. Over the last few years we have completely overhauled the Godot renders. They now target Vulkan by default and we have created them with future support for Direct3D 12 and other rendering APIs in mind.
