We removed 70,000 lines of code and our new FBX importer comes in around 12,000 lines of code. The new code has been commented and documented with the things we learned about FBX along the way. It's much larger than our importer, we only net 12,000 lines of code (the FBX SDK is over 50 MB - that's bigger than Godot!).

The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. And for more advanced use cases, there is now also TextMesh to generate 3D meshes from font glyphs, so you can add Word Art to your scenes ;). and backported to 3.5. What is it?

Coding camera angles for games and animation has been a pain … Until now. Before Unity Cinemachine, camera movement needed to be directly keyframed or, using code, had to be carefully scripted. You can even store cinematography data so it doesn’t need to be coded directly to the Unity camera you are currently using.

all rendering code was rewritten to use the more modern OpenGL ES 3.0 / OpenGL 3.3 Use baked lightmaps instead. GDScript allows to write code in a quick way within a controlled environment. As any dynamically typed language, it allows churning out large amount of code at a high speed. Revamped filesystem dock.

As users, please report all bugs that you encounter and provide as much detail as you can (including screenshots, code, and where possible, a minimal reproduction project). While our existing integration testing can highlight critical issues preventing the code from compiling or running, it does little to ensure the stability of the engine.

This does not let you use SVGs directly as 2D meshes yet, but it's on the roadmap for future releases.
