While this process is ongoing, we'll keep releasing alpha builds so here's 4.0 Add often used built-ins to spatial shaders ( NODE_POSITION_WORLD , CAMERA_POSITION_WORLD , CAMERA_DIRECTION_WORLD , NODE_POSITION_VIEW ) ( GH-63597 ). Be aware that during the alpha stage the engine is still not feature-complete or stable.

In parallel to our work on the upcoming feature releases Godot 3.5 ( with a second beta ) and 4.0 ( now at alpha 4! ), we backport important fixes to the stable 3.4 Rendering: GLES2: Fix VersionKey comparison in shader binding ( GH-58855 ). Rendering: GLES3: Fix shader state caching when blend shapes used ( GH-58808 ) [regression fix].

Numbers are using debug (numbers on release are lower, but when I started optimizing, Godot had problems running on release, so it's difficult to compare). Re-written most shaders to reduce VGPR usage, thus improve occupancy. Did general optimization in most shaders to improve performance. These test do culling on 10k objects.

For example: On GLES3+ we can use UBOs to optimize shader parameters. Added to that fact, Vulkan still has years to go until it's properly supported in most desktop and mobile platforms, which makes it unattractive to implement for us (as it means considerably more effort to write, debug and maintain). Shader abstraction.
