Our sprite is 32x32 pixels in size, and it must be drawn at some position. For each pixel drawn to the screen, OpenGL will interpolate the outputs that were generated from the vertex program and use them to fill the triangle. This process is done in the fragment program (pixel shader in DirectX terminology). Fragment Program.

A very common complaint when using shadowmaps in Godot is that tweaking shadow bias is extremely difficult compared to other game engines. Godot uses clustered decals, so the cost is very low (the pixel is shaded only once and there are no extra draw calls for each decal). Reworked shadow bias settings.

Next, let’s take a look at the common 3D rendering processes in a 3D game engine: Shadow Map Rendering → 3D Objects Rendering → Screen Space Post-Processing → 2D Elements & UI Rendering. As we can see, in Deferred Rendering, the calculation of a pixel’s color is uniformly performed in the lighting phase.
