Following on from the addition of OccluderShapeSphere in 3.4 , lawnjelly now brings us a more adaptable and easy way to add basic occlusion culling in the form of the OccluderShapePolygon. Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view. Export: Return 0 exit code when command line export succeeds with warnings ( GH-62907 ).

Vitika Soni ( Vitika9 ) reworked the features and user experience of Godot’s ColorPicker during Google Summer of Code 2022. Our SCons setup used to have tools and target options that were combined to build either the editor or the export templates, and define whether it’s a “release” or “debug” build.

Such use-after-free access needs to be guarded with is_instance_valid(obj) , but this has been surprisingly difficult to get right due to a number of bugs and inconsistencies between debug and release builds. Portal occlusion culling. Core: Promote object validity checks to release builds.

If you ever lurked in Godot source code, and tried to follow the flow of the logic, you most likely noticed that most code related to scene, formats, etc. This would make code more complex, and likely still impact performance due to waiting for mutexes or semaphores. Servers and RIDs. Architecture. How is this achieved?

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. Ability to completely reimplement all rendering code if desired, without changing the underlying game. It is not possible to control, from user code, the internal steps of rendering.
