Every beta release so far has included a lot of fixes in one or more key areas, and the next major version of the engine starts to finally look complete. We previously removed *_degrees properties from 2D and 3D objects in favor of making editing degrees easier in the Inspector. GH-59810 ).

FEBRUARY 22, 2016

This version worked well but we felt it was still far from the usability and features of a modern game engine. The more urgent issue was to improve the 2D engine so we worked hard again and released Godot 1.1, Previously, only the root node of a scene was editable. Multiple scene editing. Live scene editing.

Basically the workflow is to fork and clone Godot's source repository, edit the doc/base/classes.xml file and make a pull request for your changes. This will be another big task, but with the help of the community we will make Godot Engine even easier to learn, for newcomers and experienced users alike! How to help?

Donations and corporate grants play a vital role in enabling us to develop Godot at this sustained pace, since they are our only source of income, and are used 100% to pay developers to work on the engine. You can move the polygon with the node transform, drag the corners to reshape it, add delete points. both small and large.

The more polygons that an object has, the more detailed it appears, but high numbers of polygons demand more computing power. The polygon layout, or topology, of these items must be planned efficiently and created in advance to minimize the number of polygons and generate objects of the highest grade.

This was recently added to GitHub head and, while overall 2D editing is a bit unstable right now (due to a massive reorganization of the 2D editor), it will be soon be possible to fully make use of this feature. Create a Polygon2D node, then immediately assign an image to it (otherwise UV editing won't open). Using with MeshInstance2D.

All elements were rendered together, and editing and color grading was applied in Nuke. However, they are often modeled in such a way that they have few subdivisions, so a panel on the ship might just be one or two polygons. Now all the polygons on the ship are no longer connected to each other. Good luck to all who entered!

Godot's new renderer, progress report #1

Mircosoft Game Dev

OCTOBER 31, 2016

Our goal is to have a modern, clustered renderer that supports everything mainstream engines support, including PBR, global illumination and flexible shader editing. Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. Texture and color information edited by users exists only in the SRGB colorspace.
