Godot can render at frame rates independent from the fixed physics tick rate. This can lead to problems where the movement of objects (which tends to occur on physics ticks) does not line up with the rendered frames, causing unsightly jitter. Asynchronous shader compilation + caching (ubershader). Physics interpolation in 3D.

Recently, NetEase introduced Mesh Shader support to Justice. His work focuses on the rendering engine in Justice, specifically GPU features enabled by DirectX 12. Our first thought is to render some highly detailed models which may need insane number of triangles. Mesh shader solves this problem from the hardware level.
