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. Add an Occluder node to your scene, and choose to create an OccluderShapePolygon. What is it?

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.

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. Before going into optimizing for multiple threads, let's first take a look at the typical order of execution of the main blocks of a game engine. Servers and RIDs.

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. in only 4k lines of code!) Full code completion.
