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.

Especially in hybrid rendering, where G-buffer or shadow maps are rasterized, it’s potentially beneficial to execute AS building on async compute. In hybrid rendering, using the same LOD for rasterization and ray tracing can be considered. Consider worker threads for generating AS building command lists. Do this whenever possible.

Finally, the way light shaders now works is more user friendly to creating custom lighting shaders. The 2D material system is back, so writing custom shaders works with the new Vulkan renderer. The shader language is mostly untouched since Godot 3.x, x, so existing shaders should just work.
