What Is a Shader? Since the main premise of this effect is going to be a shader, we’ll start with explaining what a shader is. A shader is a script where you write code that determines how the colors will be rendered based on various scenarios like lighting and material configuration.

Godot's new renderer, progress report #1

Mircosoft Game Dev

OCTOBER 31, 2016

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. Write a more flexible, GLES 3 GLSL compatible shader language.

Visual shader editor. x branch used OpenGL ES 2.0 / OpenGL 2.1 ( GLES2 ) as its rendering API. This worked well, but had many limitations preventing us to use more modern rendering techniques. all rendering code was rewritten to use the more modern OpenGL ES 3.0 / OpenGL 3.3 renderer was removed. 2D skeletons.
