Godot's new renderer, progress report #1

Mircosoft Game Dev

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. Refactor the rendering API to make it easier to understand (and contribute to!).

Why does Godot use Servers and RIDs?

Mircosoft Game Dev

This order of events can't be escaped, as logic affects physics and rendering needs both information from logic and physics to display. Rendering, while mostly a sequential process (GPUs are sequential), can be parallelized in a few places, like frustum culling and (in modern APIs such as Vulkan, Metal or DirectX12) creation of command lists.

Tiles editor progress report #3

Mircosoft Game Dev

Most of TileSet's systems (rendering, collisions, physics, navigation, …) are now using a concept of "layers" (this might be renamed). As an example, you could now define several PhysicsBodies per tile with different collision layers/masks. This was not possible before. Navigation.

Release candidate: Godot 3.5 RC 2

Mircosoft Game Dev

A long-standing Bullet regression has finally been fixed ( GH-56801 ), solving issues with KinematicBody collisions on edges (e.g. This can lead to a problem, when the movement of objects (which tends to occur on physics ticks) does not line up with the rendered frames, giving unsightly jitter. and backported to 3.5.

Notably, it fixes some rendering regressions with transparent materials, and crashing iOS templates and Web editor build in RC 2. This can lead to a problem, when the movement of objects (which tends to occur on physics ticks) does not line up with the rendered frames, giving unsightly jitter. Jump to the Downloads section.

Release candidate: Godot 3.5 RC 6

Mircosoft Game Dev

You can enable it in the Project Settings ( rendering/gles3/shaders/shader_compilation_mode ). rendering may be slower for a second or two, but the slowdown will not be nearly as bad as the typical hiccup caused by classic synchronous compilation. 3D: Add Label3D node and Sprite3D material render priority ( GH-61276 ).
