Godot 4.0 optimization progress report

Mircosoft Game Dev

are done, I have spent the past two months optimizing the rendering engine, both on the CPU and GPU side. Before getting into the GPU side, several optimizations have been done on the CPU side: Culling is now done in a brute-force way which is extremely cache efficient. These test do culling on 10k objects. CPU Optimization.

Godot 3.5: Can't stop won't stop

Mircosoft Game Dev

Donations and corporate grants play a vital role in enabling us to develop Godot at this sustained pace, since they are our only source of income, and are used 100% to pay developers to work on the engine. The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime.

Practical Use of Render Textures

The Knights of Unity

Unity Engine introduces an awesome tools to empower your game development process. For shaders, I used Amplify Shader Editor to add some visual effects on top of the render texture. I have also set up Culling Mask so that the camera captures only the things with the correct layer. Project Setup. What is a Render Texture.
