This RC 6 has a few notable changes compared to the previous build: In RC 4, async shader compilation and caching was enabled by default on desktop, but several users reported issues with it on some hardware. You can enable it in the Project Settings ( rendering/gles3/shaders/shader_compilation_mode ). Estébanez ( RandomShaper )!

  Nevertheless, I also spent some money on the Advanced Foliage Shaders v.5. Simply to get rid of the annoying fact of not being able to handle the grass geometry shader I wrote about in the last post , due to my poor CG programming knowledge. I just toggled the “Baked Pivots” option in the shader to ON.

For example: On GLES3+ we can use UBOs to optimize shader parameters. Shader abstraction. This may sound like the obvious way of doing things but, in truth, it creates a big bottleneck on allowing users to write shaders. Users need to learn not only the language, but how the engine internals work regarding shaders.

Open-ended curves can be desirable for avoiding shader divergence having to do with special-case handling of endcap normals. NVIDIA OptiX curves are currently back-face culled, so rays that enter through the open end of a curve will miss the curve completely. Open-ended curves are common and desirable and also better for performance.

New vertex formats allow many more custom shaders and cases to take advantage of batching than before, and optional 2D software skinning has been added which should allow using 2D skeletal animation on a far wider range of hardware than was previously available. Various light culling fixes. Many fixes to one-way collisions.
