SDFGI is something akin to a dynamic real-time lightmap (but it does not requiere unwrapping, nor does it use textures). Ensure your meshes are marked as "Static Bake", then enable SDFGI in the Environment settings. Will write an article about this soon. What can it do? How do you use it? How does it work?

We asked them to write a progress report to present what they're working on and the current status. UV2 Texel Density Debug Draw Mode. x CPU lightmapper and adding a new debug draw mode for visualizing the texel density of lightmaps. Debug draw mode for texel density. Soft Shadows (merged). Introduction. No soft shadows.

OBJ mesh import now supports vertex colors as exported by Blender ( GH-71033 ). Export: Fix missing “debug”/”release” export presets feature tags ( GH-71274 ). Rendering: Only disable depth writing in opaque pipelines ( GH-71124 ). Rendering: Fix multiple issues that make the normal roughness texture unusable ( GH-71130 ).

This was a necessary change for many reasons: It's much, much simpler to write import/export code this way. Export options (convert textures, etc.) Automatic detection and reimport of many use cases for textures. If you care about using meshes separately, it is also possible to tell Godot to save them as files.

Such use-after-free access needs to be guarded with is_instance_valid(obj) , but this has been surprisingly difficult to get right due to a number of bugs and inconsistencies between debug and release builds. Fixes depth sorting of meshes with transparent textures ( GH-50721 ). and Godot 3.3. Dynamic BVH for Godot Physics 2D.

The Android plugin documentation has been updated with instructions on how to write plugins for this new system. Such pointer could be reported as valid even though the memory it points to was not, or worse, that memory could now hold a different object, leading to hard to debug situations. Porting existing 3.2 feature set.

load meshes. render meshes. adding read and write lock objects for PoolVector types. A Ninepatch element is a (usually textured) rectangle that has a fixed margin for the borders. The same approach shouldn't be used in GLES2, since some drivers work a lot better if no dependent texture reads are performed.

We're now in the middle of the GSoC 3-months coding period, and we asked students to write a progress report to present their project and the work done so far. Instead of computing the amount of light that reaches a certain surface every frame for every light source, we precompute all this information and store it in a single texture.

Consider representing mesh particles as instances in TLAS. For particles rendered as triangle meshes, having a unique instance for each particle can be a reasonable solution. Instances should share the base mesh BLAS. Consider writing a safe default value to unused payload fields. Also, consider compacting the BLAS.

I've asked all students to write a short progress report about their projects, which are all in the last stages of development for the GSoC internship. Textures, normal maps and some of the BSDF shaders are already well supported. An additional signal, notify , exists to send debug messages from WebRTC. Planned for August 2018.
