SDFGI is something akin to a dynamic real-time lightmap (but it does not requiere unwrapping, nor does it use textures). Occlusion generally works well, but you must ensure that walls are thicker than a voxel at the cascade they are rendering to in order to avoid light leaks. What can it do? It has a small cost when enabled.

in January 2020, we switched the development focus towards the upcoming Godot 4.0 , which is a major, compatibility-breaking rewrite of the engine's core and rendering. Dynamic BVH for rendering and GodotPhysics. Rendering: Unified 2D batching. More rendering improvements. Dynamic BVH for rendering and GodotPhysics.

A mipmap is a smaller version of the original texture, usually filtered in a special way to make them look nicer when they are viewed from an angle or far away. This is why for pixel-art games you often either change the filtering mode of textures or need to disable mipmaps to make the game look nice and sharp. ). Done May 2018.

has an entirely new rendering architecture, which is divided into modern and compatibility backends. 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.

It's been a month since the second progress report , and progress continues towards the new Godot renderer. Add Layered/Stencil rendering. renderer works entirely in linear space (Gamma is no longer supported). Hoping that by the end of January, the new renderer will be mostly done! Introduction. Implement Decals.

The two big changes I made were the texturing and the monster placement / player flow. One of my big motivations was to use Makkon's updated textures. Yet as I aligned the 100th trim texture on a brush, I wondered whether my level was also anti-brutalist in its own way. Maybe it wasn't such a bad map after all?

I modified the implementation to allow saving the lightmap atlas as multiple images if it doesn't fit inside a single image. Next steps.

depth rendering for shadow mapping. I will go more in-depth about shadow-mapping later, for now just know that in order to show shadows, the scene needs to be rendered from the perspective of each light and the result has to be saved. For the GLES2 renderer, I had to implement the interface for those shadow atlases.

We know many users are excited about the coming improvements to 2D and 3D rendering in 4.0. Over the last few years we have completely overhauled the Godot renders. They now target Vulkan by default and we have created them with future support for Direct3D 12 and other rendering APIs in mind. We haven’t forgotten about 2D.
