It's been a month since the first progress report , and progress continues towards the new Godot renderer. Little by little every system falls into place, and rendering starts feeling a lot more mature. Add Layered/Stencil rendering. One of the main features of PBR rendering is having all sort of sources for reflections.

This design became common in game engines and libraries in the early 2010s. Godot uses plenty of data-oriented optimizations for physics, rendering, audio, etc. In other words, Godot as an engine tries to take the burden of processing away from the user, and instead places the focus on deciding what to do in case of an event.
