Fortunately the Unity 3D platform has a great selection of packages and assets to accelerate the build of tools, models, shaders, sound effects, animations etc. Terrain Tools. The Terrain Tools package adds additonal terrain sculpting brushes and tools to your project to help create stunning terrain assets and ease the workflows. .

New improvements for GPUParticles in Godot 4.0

OCTOBER 7, 2020

GPUParticles : Processes particles on GPU, allows very large amount of particles at little cost, and with ability to write custom particle shaders. x and the shader used is almost identical (should be easy to port). To solve this, it is now possible to emit particles manually by calling a function from the script API: Sub-Emitters.

Fixed Toon shader data issue on iOS Wechat. Fixed the terrain as too dark, caused by the lighting calculation issue in the builtin-terrain material. 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.

We knew that we needed custom modifications for destructible terrain, dynamic lightning, and support for thousands of swarm monsters. Overriding properties like script variables, or sprite color via modulate property, allows to make asset variations easily. Another thing that was quite useful is the option to quickly test shaders.

Since the last post I’ve been working on the terrain’s vegetation. Doing it before starting the actual game would mean to already generate all the content that needs to be batched at the beginning, which is no solution for a theoretically “endless procedurally generated” terrain. That’s it. When

This chapter is all about how I solved it (so far) to be able to place all kinds of assets like 3D-meshes or self-growing fractal seeds on the terrain. What Sebastian Lague did to work-around it when generating new terrain chunks on runtime is to use multithreading. Before we start. Freezing is simply annoying and kills the flow.

Fixes • Fixed bundle script dependency on import-map that could not be reused across projects. Fixed bug with import plugin script exceeding 500KB.

The list of all global script classes (and their icons) is no longer stored in the project.godot file. Core: Move global script class cache to separate file ( GH-70557 ). Editor: Keep terrain choice when changing layer in TileMap editor ( GH-70601 ). or below ( GH-69851 ). This should improve VCS diffs for your projects.

Multi-caret support in TextEdit and script editors ( GH-61902 ). Our script editor maintainer, Paul Batty ( Paulb23 ), implemented initial support for multi-caret editing in TextEdit, which is therefore usable in the GDScript and shader editors, as well as any other multi-line text field in the editor. GH-67128 , GH-67131 ).

reduz is always quick to respond on IRC, although he is busy developing new features for Godot (during that time, he finished the new Animation editor, the new AnimationTree and visual shader editor. Textures, normal maps and some of the BSDF shaders are already well supported. I am mentored by sdfgeoff and reduz. Amazing!!).

User scripts documentation can be found by their class_name if defined, otherwise the script's path. The next planned feature is gutter indicators in the script editor for line changes.
