Realistic Lighting in Justice with Mesh Shading

Nvidia

MAY 21, 2021

His work focuses on the rendering engine in Justice, specifically GPU features enabled by DirectX 12. Our first thought is to render some highly detailed models which may need insane number of triangles. It lacks the ability to process mesh in a coarser grain than triangle, like meshlet culling. Actually, it works.

DECEMBER 30, 2016

It's been a month since the second progress report , and progress continues towards the new Godot renderer. Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. Add Layered/Stencil rendering. renderer works entirely in linear space (Gamma is no longer supported). Introduction. Implement Decals.

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. Refactor the rendering API to make it easier to understand (and contribute to!).

It's been a month since the first progress report , and progress continues towards the new Godot renderer. Little by little every system falls into place, and rendering starts feeling a lot more mature. Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. Add Layered/Stencil rendering. Introduction.

This new system uses an "ubershader" (big shader supporting all features, slow but compiled on startup) to fill in for all shaders initially while the more efficient and material-specific shaders get compiled asynchronously, and cached for future runs. Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view. What is it?

This beta 4 is a small update with just 83 commits excluding merges, focusing on fixing bugs to stabilize the current feature set for 3.5 Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view.

The backport was done while attempting to preserve API compatibility within reason, but the underlying behavior will change, mainly to provide a lot more features and flexibility. Like with 4.0 What is it?

This beta adds what should be the last batch of new features (together with a lot of bug fixes, as that's our focus at this stage), with scene unique node names and the new SceneTreeTween backported from Godot 4.0.
