I’ll be writing most code in Godot’s Gdscript, so familiarity with that or Python will help. A couple quick notes.

Those typically shouldn’t add instability to the engine, but may require doing some changes in your scripts, scenes, and shaders if you were using the affected APIs. Core: Add PROPERTY_USAGE_NEVER_DUPLICATE flag and use for script ( GH-71142 ). Import: Avoid nested skeletons, and handle skinned meshes with children ( GH-72158 ).

The main bug that was keeping me busy for weeks was related to a shader bind that was not descriptive enough when blitting a viewport to the screen. When calling methods of a base class some indirection through an owner of the script had to be made.

In order to deform the mesh according to the bone transforms, each vertex (generally "point of a triangle") can be influenced by up to 4 bones. The actual deformation usually happens in the vertex shader , where the bone transforms get looked up from a texture. (In added TIME uniform to all "scriptable" shaders.

For users of previous alphas, we don't always have compatibility code to ease transition. If you run into upgrade issues that you can't solve easily, please let us know so we can consider how much inter-alpha compatibility code we need to add. Core: Make property_*_revert methods multilevel and expose them for scripting ( GH-64334 ).

Mainly I focused on generating grass that bends in the wind and some fern like plants, but what comes next is usable for all kind of meshes. Batching means to combine mesh objects that share the same material or that are marked as static in the Unity inspector. In my case I had terrible FPS with just some thousand mesh instances.
