Many friends associate post-effects with AAA 3D games, but in reality, their application is also extensive in 2D game development. Properly utilizing post-effects can significantly enhance the visual quality of a 2D game by several levels.

One of the problems with developing games with large game worlds is that objects start to jitter and teleport around as you move away from the world origin. This has been a problem for users who want to do things like make games that take place in a to-scale solar system. Doubles in Shaders. The Problem.

It still lacks a few minor details (like colorspace adjustment via 3D textures) but it's mostly there. Due to this, it is now possible to associate a roughness texture with a normal texture, which will adjust roughness based on normal mipmap variance. While it more or less retains the functionality from Godot 3.x,

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. Ability to completely reimplement all rendering code if desired, without changing the underlying game. For example: On GLES3+ we can use UBOs to optimize shader parameters. Shader abstraction.

It supported roughness, but it did so in a way where the texture reads appeared rough, but not the reflected image (the edges of the reflected objects remained intact). A very common complaint when using shadowmaps in Godot is that tweaking shadow bias is extremely difficult compared to other game engines. x was rather limited.
