The progress of last month was largely defined by stabilizing the 3D renderer with many smaller fixes, but work on the PRB side of things has begun and the GDNative system also saw some quality-of-life changes again, with improvements to the GDNativeLibrary resource as well as an API to provide safe type-casting in NativeScript. Introduction.

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.

glTF 2.0 ( GL Transmission Format ) is a fully open-source, widely implemented interchange format with built-in support for physically-based rendering standards. You can now export your Godot scenes to glTF to get it back into Blender or other apps and make edits continuously. Allowing constructing meshes in Godot and exporting them.

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.

Godot is used all around the world and, while it always supported Unicode, its reliance on font textures made it pretty difficult to support some languages (especially Asian). Editing such properties is possible too, but changes won't be saved (use regular live editing for this). Dynamic font support. Remote scene inspector.

A shader is a script where you write code that determines how the colors will be rendered based on various scenarios like lighting and material configuration. The ZWrite Off and ZTest Greater are responsible for making the shader render the material behind other objects. Then we give it a type – Color.

Digital sculpting software, however, uses an extremely high-resolution polygon mesh (or a voxel grid). This mesh can be modeled like traditional clay with a vast array of tools, giving modelers more freedom and flexibility in their work. This is similar to the limitations of physical sculptures.

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. Write a more efficient Mesh format, which allows faster loading/saving.

All the settings and categories in this material have been reorganized: This should make editing 3D materials hopefully easier than it was before, as all the material options were crammed up in singled categories. It takes a single texture with Occlusion, Roughness and Metallic parameters and does not expose a lot more.
