New tools New debugging tools like the BVH viewer and Ray Timing Visualization allows developers to get a handle on ray tracing cost in their scene and get it tuned for speed. An updated build of NVIDIA RTX UE4.25 NVIDIA RTX UE4.26 The new NVIDIA UE4.26 Some of these are tunable, some are automatic. Both branches can be found here.
Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) added softening capability to the sharpness slider, and provided a workaround for packaged builds not initializing DLSS on d3d11 devices. In NvRTX 4.27, RTX Direct Illumination (RTXDI) and NVIDIA Real-Time Denoisers (NRD) improved support for Metahuman hair. RTXGI 1.1.40 and natively supported.
This first beta build already includes a number of them which have been worked on by core contributors, with notable mentions to: Android App Bundle and subview embedding support. And this is just a first beta, there's more in the works that will be included in future beta builds. C#: Official builds now use Mono 6.12.0.102.
x releases, now that we have a fairly mature base to build upon. macOS: ARM64 build, code signing. Raise errors when accessing deleted objects in debug. introduced a new API for Android plugins which allow building and distributing them easily to end users. macOS: ARM64 build, code signing. iOS: New plugin API.
And that's just as well, since a lot of work continues to be done every day to fix issues in the master branch and improve usability, and Juan even took the time to sneak in a couple past-deadline but very requested features, like a lightmapper for static light baking (to provide an alternative to the real-time but resource-heavy GIProbe).
This new beta 3 build comes shortly after last week's beta 2 to fix some of the regressions and bugs reported against that release. The only big change is that the classical build for macOS is now a universal binary, with both x86_64 and arm64 architectures included (to support the new ARM-based Apple M1 chip natively).
Improved Web editor prototype and AudioWorklet support for multithreaded HTML5 builds (new in 3.2.4 And there's even more in the works that will be included in future beta builds. C#: Official builds now use Mono 6.12.0.111. C#: Re-work solution build output panel ( GH-42547 ). Mono build (C# support + all the above).
In particular, this build adds optional GDNative support to the HTML5 target , on top of the pre-existing optional multithreading support. Note: Threads enabled and GDNative enabled templates are only available for standard builds for now, as there are other issues to solve to make them work with Mono. Highlights.
In particular, this build adds WebXR support for VR games! Moreover, there have been many fixes to features introduced in previous betas, so make sure to test this build and ensure that everything works as you'd want it. Improved Web editor prototype and AudioWorklet support for multithreaded HTML5 builds.
Navigation: Exclude disabled StaticBody collisions from NavigationMesh baking ( GH-65775 ). Rendering: Portals: Show RayCast debug helper ( GH-65686 ). The downloads for this dev snapshot can be found directly on our repository: Standard build (GDScript, GDNative, VisualScript). Mono build (C# support + all the above).
So here's a first Release Candidate to get broader testing of everything that has been iterated upon in the past 6 beta builds. Improved Web editor and AudioWorklet support for multithreaded HTML5 builds. macOS ARM64 support in official binaries for Apple M1 chip (only classical build for now). Highlights.
Thanks to all pre-release testers who help us find and debug regressions! For macOS, both the standard and Mono editor builds are now signed and notarized ! Improved Web editor and AudioWorklet support for multithreaded HTML5 builds. macOS ARM64 support in official binaries for Apple M1 chip (only standard build for now).
With this beta 6 build, there are several recently merged changes that will require heavy testing to be stabilized before 3.2.4-stable: Improved Web editor prototype and AudioWorklet support for multithreaded HTML5 builds. macOS ARM64 support in official binaries for Apple M1 chip (only classical build for now).
So it's now time for a RC 2 build to give it another round of testing before the stable release! Note: Only the "standard" build is signed for now.). Improved Web editor and AudioWorklet support for multithreaded HTML5 builds. macOS ARM64 support in official binaries for Apple M1 chip (only classical build for now).
This beta 6 build provides additional features and fixes to bugs reported against previous builds. C#: macOS: Mono builds are now universal builds with support for both x86_64 and arm64 architectures ( GH-49248 ). Core: Promote object validity checks to release builds ( GH-51796 ). The upcoming Godot 3.4
So it's now time for a RC 3 build to give it another round of testing before the stable release! Note: Only the "standard" build is signed for now.). Improved Web editor and AudioWorklet support for multithreaded HTML5 builds. macOS ARM64 support in official binaries for Apple M1 chip (only classical build for now).
With this first Release Candidate , we completely freezes feature development, and comes after a long series of beta builds to fix a number of bugs reported against previous builds (as well as against previous stable branches). Core: Promote object validity checks to release builds ( GH-51796 ). The upcoming Godot 3.4
Our last testing build was 3.2.4 We still need a good round of testing on this new build to ensure that everything works as we want it before we make this the new stable branch (which will supersede the current 3.2.3 Improved Web editor and AudioWorklet support for multithreaded HTML5 builds. is very close to its stable release.
RC builds yet, now would be a great time to do it to help us ensure everything upgrades smoothly from 3.2.3 Improved Web editor and AudioWorklet support for multithreaded HTML5 builds. macOS ARM64 support in official binaries for Apple M1 chip (only standard build for now). C#: Official builds now use Mono 6.12.0.114.
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. The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime.
At this stage it's really close to stable, we just had a few more regression fixes merged since the previous build that warrant another build for testing: Android: Address remaining scoped storage regressions ( GH-63480 ). From now on you'll find builds of the Android editor as _android_editor.apk in the download repository.
C#: macOS: Mono builds are now universal builds with support for both x86_64 and arm64 architectures ( GH-49248 ). Core: Promote object validity checks to release builds ( GH-51796 ). Android: Add GDNative libraries to Android custom Gradle builds ( GH-49912 ). C#: Fix reloading tool scripts in the editor ( GH-52883 ).

This implementation handles spatial indexing of objects and, every frame, building a render list of objects drawn. Truth is, the main advantage of using them is the ability to build render command lists using multiple CPU cores. This allows beautiful mixing between baked and real-time. Wait, why not Vulkan or DirectX12?
I've worked in games for a while now, building upon general software development experience from electronics and RF equipment. Right now, you need to bake your animation before exporting. All the people who helped me debug issues, who helped with various logic and also to the Godot core development team. we use the 3.2
Here you can see the Sponza demo model, with baked direct lighting, and the corresponding light map: Note that this first pass is not taking occlusion into account yet. These can only be dealt with manually while debugging. That will be added in the following weeks. Next steps.
If we want to support more complex Shaders, such as Blur, Depth of Field, and other effects, we need to work with the code to build it. passName : the name of the pass, easy for debugging. Prioritize the scene to use lightmap to bake AO so that even if HBAO is turned off, the effect is still not bad.
