Breaking changes Animation Audio C# Core Editor GDScript Import Input Physics Platforms Rendering and shaders XR New in Beta 1! Add 2D shader instance uniforms Previously, Godot only supported shader instance uniforms in Spatial shaders. Highlights Many features originally intended for 4.3 ended up making it into 4.4
Using it to check on Godot game development streamers resulted in this funny compilation both the content creators and their viewers expressed happiness that the communities they had built were being recognized by us. The PvP auto-battler with a medieval fantasy theme has quickly gained popularity with content creators!
Doing it before starting the actual game would mean to already generate all the content that needs to be batched at the beginning, which is no solution for a theoretically “endless procedurally generated” terrain. When batched, the animations from the Advanced Foliage Shader go a bit crazy and make the grass float around.
stable: Android: Fix issue preventing the Android Editor from displaying the project content ( GH-64420 ). iOS: Workaround WebKit/ANGLE shader compilation bug for WebGL 2.0 ( GH-64811 ). Navigation: Exclude disabled StaticBody collisions from NavigationMesh baking ( GH-65775 ). Here are the main changes since 3.5-stable:
2、LightFX The lightmaps generated by the Lightmap Baking System will be automatically stored in this folder, and there is no need to manually modify the contents inside it. including animations,effects,models,shaders,ui,sounds and so on. including animations,effects,models,shaders,ui,sounds and so on.
Fixed Toon shader data issue on iOS Wechat. Fixed not being able to get input content in time for an input box on Android. Fixed not being able to get input content in time for an input box on Android. Fixed crash issue when baking high-precision Lightmap for the terrain. Fixed pre-backed AO calculation issue.
The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. The new container types are especially useful for dynamic content on different window sizes. Asynchronous shader compilation + caching (ubershader). courtesy of Pedro J.
The bulk of a game’s content package is made up of resources that naturally target the GPU: textures, materials, and geometry data. Traditional data compression techniques are applicable to game content that rarely changes. However, it may result in variation in latency when delivering the resource contents to their final locations.
Game developers often need to compile large amounts of C++ code, which requires lots of CPU resources, and developers also need to process other types of heavy compute tasks such as; shader compilation, rendering, asset creation, image conversion, lightmap baking and more. If there isn’t appropriate IAM role, create it here.

It's a long read, so here's a table of contents to easily get to a specific section: New physically based 3D renderer. Materials and shaders. Just set up the probe bounds and do a fast pre-bake of static objects. Materials and shaders. writing shaders is very easy! Full principled BSDF. Global illumination (GI).
Shaders: Add support for structs and fragment-to-light varyings ( GH-48075 ). Lightmapper: Add an editor setting to configure number of threads for lightmap baking ( GH-52952 ). LineEdit: Double click selects words, triple click selects all the content ( GH-46527 ). Shaders: Add support for global const arrays ( GH-50889 ).

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. New CPU lightmapper. The lightmapper in the previous 3.x 3D editor improvements.
You may have already seen some of this content on social media, in blog posts, or in alpha release notes. We also reached out to content creators from the Godot community and got two very nice videos from FinePointCGI and Bramwell covering what Godot 4.0 For more information see the article introducing sky shaders.
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.
