rendering may be slower for a second or two, but the slowdown will not be nearly as bad as the typical hiccup caused by classic synchronous compilation. This can lead to a problem, when the movement of objects (which tends to occur on physics ticks) does not line up with the rendered frames, giving unsightly jitter. What is it?

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. macOS: ARM64 build, code signing. Dynamic BVH for rendering and GodotPhysics. Raise errors when accessing deleted objects in debug. iOS: New plugin API.

Thanks to all pre-release testers who help us find and debug regressions! 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. stable soon™. Stay tuned for more info!

New dynamic BVH for rendering and the GodotPhysics backends. If you experience a regression in either physics or rendering, you can try these Project Settings to revert back to the previous Octree-based approach and possibly fix the issue. Core: Disable decayment of freed Objects to null in debug builds ( GH-41866 ).

Vitika Soni ( Vitika9 ) reworked the features and user experience of Godot’s ColorPicker during Google Summer of Code 2022. Lots of rendering changes. Our rendering contributors keep working on finalizing the implementation of all expected features for Godot 4.0, OpenGL3: Add 2D lights to canvas renderer ( GH-67335 ).

Especially in hybrid rendering, where G-buffer or shadow maps are rasterized, it’s potentially beneficial to execute AS building on async compute. It can be directly in the AS build calls or in some related task like the culling of the objects. Cull instances for TLAS. Instead, cull instances depending on the situation.

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.

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 order of events can't be escaped, as logic affects physics and rendering needs both information from logic and physics to display. Servers and RIDs. Architecture.
