FEBRUARY 1, 2023

3D modelers apply many processes to improve the look and usability of their assets when creating the characters, props, and sets that feature in your favorite video games and films. It helps reduce the amount of detail by simplifying polygons and textures as they get further away from the camera. will be required.

I got rid of that and switched to a polygon based approach which plugs into Box2D. Material polygons are created as invisible objects in Blender and exported into the game. They are now baked into tiles, so map editing is much easier. I also changed the way fences are placed on the map.

MAY 8, 2020

Features of the new Godot 4.0 Most scenes bake in seconds instead of minutes or hours. branch uses state of the art algorithms to ensure the maximum possible quality: Bakes geometry to lightmap coordinates using the actual rendering code, so any existing shader or material works. Allows baking dynamic and static lights.

Waiting for Vulkan, waiting for WebAssembly, waiting for C#, waiting for advanced 3D editor features. It won't just happen that hundreds of lines of class descriptions are written by the core devs; their time is much better spent developing the great features we are all so fond of waiting for. waiting for Godot! Current status.

DECEMBER 30, 2016

Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. It must be pre-baked for dynamic scenario geometry, but it offers support for full dynamic lights and dynamic objects. The last remaining big feature is the new particle system, then everything else is simpler, and includes cleaning up the implemented techniques.

This new system uses an "ubershader" (big shader supporting all features, slow but compiled on startup) to fill in for all shaders initially while the more efficient and material-specific shaders get compiled asynchronously, and cached for future runs. Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view. What is it?
