Like in previous years, Godot is participating again in the Google Summer of Code program for its 2022 edition. Multi window code editors by trollodel. Multi window code editors. Project: Allow undocking the Script editor and the Shader editor. Detaching the Script editor and the Shader editor is done for the most part.

This document was written in hopes to find more developers that would like to help us write rendering code, as it explains the overall design. Ability to completely reimplement all rendering code if desired, without changing the underlying game. It is not possible to control, from user code, the internal steps of rendering.

If you just need to batch once or twice during runtime even a high number of objects (in a demo scene he uses 10k mesh objects) the FPS will increase immensely with the code provided by Mr. Dimitrov, but if you do it over and over again I recommend  MeshCombineStudio. That’s it. When And it has just twelve vertices.

Visual shader editor. all rendering code was rewritten to use the more modern OpenGL ES 3.0 / OpenGL 3.3 Some shader features will not work and throw an error when used (which is to be expected when using an older OpenGL version). Use baked lightmaps instead. Code can be less readable and difficult to refactor.

On the other hand, parallelizing the traditional data compression algorithms has been challenging, due to fundamental serial assumptions “baked” into their design. Ideally, resource I/O and creation operations occur in their own CPU thread, separate from threads doing other loading screen activities like shader creation.

Preface In the last article , Kylin shared how to add your own post-effect Shader in the custom render pipeline in Cocos Creator 3.8. However, based on the BlitScreen solution, we can only write the simplest post-effect Shader. Today Kylin will use Gaussian blur to demonstrate how to write a multi-pass post-effect shader.
