About shaders. For most game developers, shaders are this scary monster that presents itself with such a complexity that it seems out of reach. In reality, shaders are quite simple by default and just get more complex the more you add to them. The following OpenGL code sends the sprite to the shader for drawing: OpenGL Commands.

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. 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.

As many of you have probably heard, a new rendering backend is being worked on for Godot. Our goal is to have a modern, clustered renderer that supports everything mainstream engines support, including PBR, global illumination and flexible shader editing. Write a more flexible, GLES 3 GLSL compatible shader language.
