While this process is ongoing, we'll keep releasing alpha builds so here's 4.0 Some noteworthy changes in this release: Re-enable support for Web exports using the OpenGL 3 / WebGL 2 renderer. This is the first alpha to include export templates for the Web platform again. Implement physical light units in Vulkan renderers.

Remember the previous article, where we used the image’s Alpha to find edges, determining whether there were pixels with Alpha of 0 around the image. Consider the characteristics of this rt; apart from the tree where Alpha is greater than 0, the rest of the Alpha is 0. aExtend is the expanded Alpha.

I export the rendered terrain from Blender as a RGBA image but with alpha value set to depth. The graphics backend rewrite took a while. However, the situation is now good. This gives me freedom in level design and saves work making tiles… tileable. Interactive elements will be placed using the in-game editor. So it’s RGBZ.

Now the effects look correct, but I don’t want to solidify everything rendered before this camera. Using SOLID_COLOR (click for more details) Using 0 alpha doesnt look good (click for more details)

Hi, I’m trying to use a simple 3d model (with a cube-mesh & material of effect “bultin-standard”) as basic object to be emitted in particleSystem My approach was to set “Render>RenderMode” to “Mesh” and fill the “Mesh” & “CPU Material” as I wanted The problem is the material won’t let me replace it if new material doesn’t use effect as (..)

As the alpha of Godot 4.0 comes closer and closer, we wanted to spend some words to clarify the direction that Godot 4 has taken in regard of rendering back-ends. The renderer design and all resulting code had to be re-implemented entirely from scratch in order to support Vulkan and modern rendering techniques.

As most of the rendering features for the upcoming Godot 4.0 are done, I have spent the past two months optimizing the rendering engine, both on the CPU and GPU side. All this work has resulted in significantly faster rendering times. A lot of the render state is now better cached, so less is done at render time.
