Mesh streaming : Models are loaded as low detail (few vertices). The most complex is mesh streaming , which generally needs to be implemented together with a GPU culling strategy to ensure that very large amounts of models can be drawn at no CPU cost. GPUParticlesMaterial resource (or even an optional dedicated shader).

GridMap: Implement individual mesh transform for MeshLibrary items ( GH-52298 ). Mesh: Implement octahedral map normal/tangent attribute compression ( GH-46800 ). Mesh: Options to clean/simplify convex hull generated from mesh ( GH-50328 ). Rendering: Fixes depth sorting of meshes with transparent textures ( GH-50721 ).

Shader language features. Shader language features. Our shader language maintainer Yuri Roubinsky ( Chaosus ) is busy doing magic on the development branch for Godot 4.0, Fixes depth sorting of meshes with transparent textures ( GH-50721 ). Large files support (> 2.0 Frame delta smoothing. Improved input handling.

Visual shader editor. Unsupported features will not be visible when editing materials. Some shader features will not work and throw an error when used (which is to be expected when using an older OpenGL version). Unsupported features will not be visible when editing environments. New TileSet editor. 2D skeletons.

Visual Shaders overhaul. Visual Shaders overhaul. introduced a new graph-based editor to edit shaders visually, reimplemented from the previous version that was included in Godot 2.1. our contributor Yuri Roubinsky did a huge rework of the new visual shader's UX , and eventually assumed full maintainership of the feature.

For sub-resources, editing would also go into a separate view. All editing is done via controls instead of tree cells. It also allows writing custom plugins to customize the looks, like in the image below: New Spin-Slider for numerical editing. It alows: Editing values in absolute range (via slider). Named layers.

Like in previous years, Godot is participating again in the Google Summer of Code program for its 2022 edition. We asked them to write a progress report to present what they're working on and the current status. Project: Allow undocking the Script editor and the Shader editor. Also, there are some bugs to be fixed. PR: #62378.

Materials and shaders. Still, this workflow is easy and efficient as 3D objects get a second set of UVs generated on import, and baking works with instantiated meshes, scenes and even GridMaps. Materials and shaders. writing shaders is very easy! Full principled BSDF. Global illumination (GI). GPU particles.

A very common request, though, was the ability to do custom mesh deformation based on the same bones used to animate separate parts. 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.

You can even create complex dynamic effects by writing custom shaders that operate on FogVolume nodes. is introducing sky shaders which allow users to create dynamic skies that update in real time (including reflections).

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 flexible, GLES 3 GLSL compatible shader language. Write a more efficient Mesh format, which allows faster loading/saving.

Still, there seems to be a large chunk of them (36% at the time of this writing) that only support OpenGL ES 2.0. Android, iOS.

Godot just works in a way that meshes with how I like to think and work. Just drop some images in and drag them onto the canvas, attach a script, write a few lines of GDScript and you've got the beginning of a game. I'd love to be able to edit shaders in the main code editor instead of a dock. Yes, absolutely.

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. Performance edits (depends on performance at higher resolution). Amazing!!). Thank you all!
