A shader is a script where you write code that determines how the colors will be rendered based on various scenarios like lighting and material configuration. The ZWrite Off and ZTest Greater are responsible for making the shader render the material behind other objects.

The solution also enables users to fill objects in with color, paint over them with an RBG brush, or cover regions with physically based rendering (PBR) materials. In addition to intuitive, nondestructive editing capabilities–including the application of textures–Shapeyard enables automatic human-grade retopology.

For all three *SkyMaterial types, users can select "Convert to ShaderMaterial" and edit the code directly. Currently, to use the subpasses you must set the appropriate render mode use_half_res_pass or use_quarter_res_pass. Sky Shaders allow users to write different code depending on which render target they are using.

While not entirely rendering specific, a lot of nodes are being renamed. Accurate frame render time. you can only see the frames per second that takes rendering the whole editor. This is very misleading and not representative of rendering performance. Alpha is still some months away, but it's getting closer every day!
