We switched it back to disabled by default for all platforms. You can enable it in the Project Settings ( rendering/gles3/shaders/shader_compilation_mode ). 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.

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. Multiple fixes to one-way collisions. Rendering: New dynamic BVH ( GH-44901 ).

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.

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. Platforms: Godot editor on the Web! Dynamic BVH for rendering and GodotPhysics. Rendering: Unified 2D batching. Rendering: Unified 2D batching.

includes 5 major features: C# support for the iOS platform. This nearly completes the platform support for C# projects in Godot (only UWP support is still missing). 2D batching for the GLES2 renderer. While most rendering work was postponed for the 4.0 Core: Fixed false positives in the culling system ( GH-37863 ).

The new 2D batching is only implemented for the GLES2 renderer, so if you use GLES3 you will not be able to benefit from it in this build.

As many of you have probably heard, a new rendering backend is being worked on for Godot. Our goal is to have a modern, clustered renderer that supports everything mainstream engines support, including PBR, global illumination and flexible shader editing. Refactor the rendering API to make it easier to understand (and contribute to!).

It brings a brand new rendering engine with state-of-the-art PBR workflow for 3D, an improved assets pipeline, GDNative to load native code as plugins, C# 7.0 After meeting the initial goal, we hired karroffel to continue her work on GDNative (more about this below) and work on a new rendering backend. New physically based 3D renderer.

We know many users are excited about the coming improvements to 2D and 3D rendering in 4.0. Over the last few years we have completely overhauled the Godot renders. They now target Vulkan by default and we have created them with future support for Direct3D 12 and other rendering APIs in mind. has been added by Je06jm.
