Following on from the addition of OccluderShapeSphere in 3.4 , lawnjelly now brings us a more adaptable and easy way to add basic occlusion culling in the form of the OccluderShapePolygon. Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view. Add an Occluder node to your scene, and choose to create an OccluderShapePolygon.

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. Additional funding will enable us to hire more core developers to work full-time on the engine, and thus further improve its development pace and stability.

Not only are the updated environments breathtaking, the game supports 1.8 With MeshShaders, the culling algorithms we use can be of great flexibility.

Our SCons setup used to have tools and target options that were combined to build either the editor or the export templates, and define whether it’s a “release” or “debug” build. The “debug” term in that setup was quite ambiguous however and the source of a lot of confusion, as described in godot-proposals#3371.

Previous engines we have developed (we as in Juan Linietsky and Ariel Manzur) did not really use this architecture and everything was provided via simple classes with inheritance and polymorphism. This was fine, as our engine ran in a single thread (which was common, as most CPU architectures were single-core back then).

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. Rendering engineers are rare to find, so this can be a starting point. As for DirectX12, it's only relevant for Windows/UWP, so there is no strong incentive for us to support it as a cross-platform engine.
