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!).

Previous engines we have developed (we as in Juan Linietsky and Ariel Manzur) did not really use this architecture and everything was provided via simple classes with inheritance and polymorphism. This order of events can't be escaped, as logic affects physics and rendering needs both information from logic and physics to display.
