rendering may be slower for a second or two, but the slowdown will not be nearly as bad as the typical hiccup caused by classic synchronous compilation. The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. This should show up initially as a quad.

In this build, we also built it for 32-bit platforms (armv7 and x86) as there was some demand for it, so you'll find the APK is a bit heavier. This adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view. back in 2020!

The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. Godot can render at frame rates independent from the fixed physics tick rate. Enable this setting and Godot will automatically interpolate objects, smoothing out rendered frames.

Note that the project settings from the rendering/quality/2d section have now been moved to rendering/2d , so if you used any of those, you will need to re-enable them under the new section in 3.2.4. New dynamic BVH for rendering and the GodotPhysics backends. Rendering: New dynamic BVH ( GH-44901 ). New CPU lightmapper.

New dynamic BVH for rendering and the GodotPhysics backends. If you experience a regression in either physics or rendering, you can try these Project Settings to revert back to the previous Octree-based approach and possibly fix the issue. Font: Load dynamic fonts to memory on all platforms to avoid locked files ( GH-44117 ).

This nearly completes the platform support for C# projects in Godot (only UWP support is still missing). 2D batching for the GLES2 renderer. While most rendering work was postponed for the 4.0 Core: Fixed false positives in the culling system ( GH-37863 ).

The new 2D batching is only implemented for the GLES2 renderer, so if you use GLES3 you will not be able to benefit from it in this build.

The modern one does rendering via RenderingDevice (which is implemented in drivers such as Vulkan, Direct3D 12, and more in the future). Rendering is significantly more efficient in Godot 4.0, Low level rendering access.

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!).
