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.

Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. This means: Cubemap arrays are not supported in older hardware, mobile and WebGL2, and reflections need to be put into an atlas (for single-pass forward or clustered). Blending of cubemap faces is not supported in mobile and WebGL2, making blurred reflections look terrible.

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. Given GLES2 isn't going to disappear any time soon due to low end mobile devices, we still need to support it for a few more years to come. And the list goes on. Rasterizer design. Godot uses OpenGL ES 3.0

The new 3D engine is outstanding, with many features out-of-the-box that are still not common in other mainstream engines. The new 3D renderer is state-of-the-art, with features rarely see in game engines today, such as: Full principled BSDF. The only downside is that it requires medium to high-end hardware to work.
