Fixed bone animation texture size error on some platforms that don’t support float point texture format. Fixed Toon shader data issue on iOS Wechat. Fixed some npm libraries not working due to the use of ‘use strict’ when building scripts. Fixed crash issue when baking high-precision Lightmap for the terrain.

Preface In the last article , Kylin shared how to add your own post-effect Shader in the custom render pipeline in Cocos Creator 3.8. However, based on the BlitScreen solution, we can only write the simplest post-effect Shader. Today Kylin will use Gaussian blur to demonstrate how to write a multi-pass post-effect shader.

New vertex formats allow many more custom shaders and cases to take advantage of batching than before, and optional 2D software skinning has been added which should allow using 2D skeletal animation on a far wider range of hardware than was previously available. More rendering improvements. For Godot 4.0, 3D editor improvements.

supports advanced global illumination techniques such as lightmapping (including SH lightmapping), Voxel GI (which is fully real-time) and SDFGI (which is a single click, open world GI solution). The most common types of streaming are: Texture streaming : All textures are loaded in a tiny size by default.

When the user turns on high-precision lightmap baking, 16-bit colors are used instead of 8-bit colors, and AO channels are baked separately. Still, the disadvantage is that it will increase the lightmap package. New and standard-material will default to Surface Shader. Fixed bug with import plugin script exceeding 500KB.

Project: Allow undocking the Script editor and the Shader editor. For things like the Script editor, this means you can move it to another screen, move the undocked window to be side-by-side with the main window, or just using Alt+Tab to change between the main window and the undocked one.

Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. 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).
