Changing the resolution of a finished mesh (for a mobile game, for example) requires an even less detailed model to run efficiently, forcing the modeler to recreate it from scratch. Most game engines also require multiple levels of asset detailing, which requires the use of multiple assets and leads to additional production and running costs.

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. They allow very high-budget games to run better and, in the long run, make the job of writing drivers MUCH simpler to hardware manufacturers. Great alpha blending support. Shader abstraction.
