Breaking changes Animation Audio C# Core Editor GDScript Import Input Physics Platforms Rendering and shaders XR New in Beta 1! Weve unified the code to make sure it works the same on both platforms, and weve fixed some bugs. Highlights Many features originally intended for 4.3 ended up making it into 4.4 meaning that Godot 4.4
When to profile: - Before making system changes - After adding new features - When releasing on different platforms Key Profiler Segments: - GPU Usage: Analyzes GPU workload for visual-heavy games. The optimization of shaders combines calculation simplification methods which lowers both shader passes and processing redundancy.
Fixed Byte Platform iPad screen display is not complete. Fixed Labelchar mode color anomaly on native platforms. Editor • Support baking high-precision lighting maps to get a better baking effect. Comparison of results in high light intensity (off vs. on): • Added Light Probe Bake Preview feature. Fixed Mat4.getRotation
Utilizing Shaders Wisely Shaders are powerful tools that can enhance the visual quality of a game, but they can also be demanding on mobile devices. To balance performance and quality, it’s essential to use shaders judiciously. Techniques like pre-computed lighting and baked animations can also reduce the computational load.
We also support Compute Shader capabilities. Google Play Games on PC Platform Support At this year’s Google IO conference, Google Play Games on PC and the large-screen experience received significant attention as Android platform updates. There are already many well-known Cocos games published on the platform on their own.
February As part of our social media expansion, we also created an official Godot Engine account on the streaming platform Twitch. For every year from 2014 to 2024 we shared two gems found on Steam and itch.io with the community, celebrating an ever growing list of Godot releases since the beginnings of the project.
Fixed bone animation texture size error on some platforms that don’t support float point texture format. Fixed memory management issue of BakedSkinningModel on native platforms. Fixed error caused by removeSpotLight on native platforms. Fixed Toon shader data issue on iOS Wechat. Fixed pre-backed AO calculation issue.
For example: On GLES3+ we can use UBOs to optimize shader parameters. Added to that fact, Vulkan still has years to go until it's properly supported in most desktop and mobile platforms, which makes it unattractive to implement for us (as it means considerably more effort to write, debug and maintain). Shader abstraction.
Materials and shaders. Just set up the probe bounds and do a fast pre-bake of static objects. Still, this workflow is easy and efficient as 3D objects get a second set of UVs generated on import, and baking works with instantiated meshes, scenes and even GridMaps. Materials and shaders. writing shaders is very easy!
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. We switched it back to disabled by default for all platforms. Shaders: Many improvements backported from master ( GH-56794 ).
In this build, we also built it for 32-bit platforms (armv7 and x86) as there was some demand for it, so you'll find the APK is a bit heavier. and included in this beta are: Asynchronous shader compilation + caching (ubershader) ( GH-53411 ). A long awaited solution to shader compilation stuttering on OpenGL, courtesy Pedro J.
This will enable us to publish maintenance updates at a faster pace as soon as we identify a need (critical regressions to fix, security issues, necessary platform updates, etc.). Platforms: Godot editor on the Web! One notable change is that there is now support for both threads and GDNative in the HTML5 platform port.
and included in this release candidate are: Asynchronous shader compilation + caching (ubershader) ( GH-53411 ). A long awaited solution to shader compilation stuttering on OpenGL, courtesy Pedro J. The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime.

A long awaited improvement to reduce shader compilation stuttering on OpenGL is coming to Godot 3.5, courtesy of Pedro J.
The purpose of developing Cocos Cyberpunk is to showcase the Cocos Engine’s ability to create complex 3D games on multiple platforms and to motivate the developers in Cocos community to learn game development. including animations,effects,models,shaders,ui,sounds and so on. Let’s take a look at each of them one by one.

The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime.
It also adds a much-requested minimap to GraphEdit , and thus to the VisualScript and Visual Shader editors. Font: Load dynamic fonts to memory on all platforms to avoid locked files ( GH-44117 ). Rendering: Disable lights for objects with baked lighting ( GH-41629 ). In particular, this build adds WebXR support for VR games!
Visual shader editor. Incompatibilities in the HTML5 platform, as not all browsers support WebGL 2.0 (the 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. Visual shader editor. Revamped 2D editor. 2D skeletons.
Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. You can even create complex dynamic effects by writing custom shaders that operate on FogVolume nodes. is introducing sky shaders which allow users to create dynamic skies that update in real time (including reflections).
We want to encourage the quick embrace of GDeflate as a data-parallel compression standard, facilitating its adoption across the PC ecosystem and on other platforms. On the other hand, parallelizing the traditional data compression algorithms has been challenging, due to fundamental serial assumptions “baked” into their design.
