Before getting into the GPU side, several optimizations have been done on the CPU side: Culling is now done in a brute-force way which is extremely cache efficient. Everything in the main frame is culled at the same time, objects, light cascades, SDFGI cascades, etc. These test do culling on 10k objects.
It can be directly in the AS build calls or in some related task like the culling of the objects. Cull instances for TLAS. Instead, cull instances depending on the situation. For example, consider culling based on an expanded camera frustum. Moving the CPU work to one or more worker threads is potentially beneficial.
The illustration picture for this article is from The Mirror , an upcoming all-in-one game and game development platform currently in Closed Alpha. since early alpha releases; follow them on Twitter for updates. Rendering: Ignore depth draw optimization when using depth draw alpha prepass ( GH-70884 ). What's new.
For shaders, I used Amplify Shader Editor to add some visual effects on top of the render texture. I have also set up Culling Mask so that the camera captures only the things with the correct layer. Then I’ve put the recorded render texture to a Standard Shader. Then the texture is plugged into the created shader.
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). It can also be done from within a particle shader itself by chaining another particle system as a sub-emitter.

alpha builds and maintenance releases for the stable branch ( 3.4.3 , 3.4.4 and included in this beta are: Asynchronous shader compilation + caching (ubershader) ( GH-53411 ). A long awaited solution to shader compilation stuttering on OpenGL, courtesy Pedro J. Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view.
For example: On GLES3+ we can use UBOs to optimize shader parameters. Shader abstraction. This may sound like the obvious way of doing things but, in truth, it creates a big bottleneck on allowing users to write shaders. Users need to learn not only the language, but how the engine internals work regarding shaders.
alpha builds , we're trying to release 3.5 and included in this beta are: Asynchronous shader compilation + caching (ubershader) ( GH-53411 ). A long awaited solution to shader compilation stuttering on OpenGL, courtesy Pedro J. Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view. We're getting closer to the Godot 3.5

Nevertheless, I also spent some money on the Advanced Foliage Shaders v.5. Simply to get rid of the annoying fact of not being able to handle the grass geometry shader I wrote about in the last post , due to my poor CG programming knowledge. I just toggled the “Baked Pivots” option in the shader to ON.
But the “1” in beta 1 means that it’s only the first step of the journey, and like for the alpha phase, we’re going to release new beta snapshots roughly every other week. Editor: Add multi-caret support to TextEdit (and the script/shader editors) ( GH-61902 ). Rendering: Vulkan: Fix culling of negatively-scaled objects ( GH-67176 ).

with 17 alpha builds distributed in 2022, and continuous development effort since 2019. You may have already seen some of this content on social media, in blog posts, or in alpha release notes. You can even create complex dynamic effects by writing custom shaders that operate on FogVolume nodes. Check out the video! What's new?
Implement Particle Shaders, with support for: Sorting, Collision and Soft Particles. Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. Mid-Processing is the effects that are applied in the middle of rendering, before alpha pass and post-processing. TODO for Milestone #3 (December 2016). Implement Mid-Processing.
Materials and shaders. Materials and shaders. makes up for it by providing an extremely powerful default material (which supports detail textures, triplanar mapping and other nice features) and an extremely easy-to-use shader language. writing shaders is very easy! Full principled BSDF. Global illumination (GI).
