New improvements for GPUParticles in Godot 4.0

Mircosoft Game Dev

GPUParticles : Processes particles on GPU, allows very large amount of particles at little cost, and with ability to write custom particle shaders. Allows collisions against the physics world. x and the shader used is almost identical (should be easy to port). Baked SDF Collision. Less flexible. Particles in Godot 4.0

Object Placement on Terrain (Mesh)

Mnenad

This chapter is all about how I solved it (so far) to be able to place all kinds of assets like 3D-meshes or self-growing fractal seeds on the terrain. What Sebastian Lague did to work-around it when generating new terrain chunks on runtime is to use multithreading. Before we start. Freezing is simply annoying and kills the flow.

Dev snapshot: Godot 4.0 beta 3

Mircosoft Game Dev

Our script editor maintainer, Paul Batty ( Paulb23 ), implemented initial support for multi-caret editing in TextEdit, which is therefore usable in the GDScript and shader editors, as well as any other multi-line text field in the editor. Editor: Add multi-caret support to TextEdit (and the script/shader editors) ( GH-61902 ).

GSoC 2020 - Progress report #1

Mircosoft Game Dev

One of the most common uses for IK in 3D is to place a character's feet on uneven ground without clipping through the geometry, where the legs realistically adjust to the terrain. Potentially look at adding some form of collision detection to the Jiggle modifiers, in both 2D and 3D. That's it for this progress report!
