This RC 6 has a few notable changes compared to the previous build: In RC 4, async shader compilation and caching was enabled by default on desktop, but several users reported issues with it on some hardware. You can enable it in the Project Settings ( rendering/gles3/shaders/shader_compilation_mode ). Estébanez ( RandomShaper )!

  I have to admit it was frustrating to work with a machine that cannot handle much heavy calculations at once (my Macbook from 2011) from time to time, but on the other hand this forced me to get into optimizing the game very soon, what might become a good base for expanding the complexity in near future. Draw call batching.

Catmull-Rom curves are a popular choice in the film and games industries for hair and fur and other uses of curves. Open-ended curves can be desirable for avoiding shader divergence having to do with special-case handling of endcap normals. Open-ended curves are common and desirable and also better for performance.
