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. Optimize scene rendering to use less function calls. Implement PBR.

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. Right now, there is no way to edit the tiles' properties in an efficient way.
Edit Blocks. You could edit them one by one, but that would not scale well, especially if you had dozens or more blocks to fix. Unity does actually have a feature that allows you to perform a bulk edit. Unfortunately, some of the changes that you might want to make will not be supported by a bulk edit, such as in custom editors.
Note that the project settings from the rendering/quality/2d section have now been moved to rendering/2d , so if you used any of those, you will need to re-enable them under the new section in 3.2.4. New dynamic BVH for rendering and the GodotPhysics backends. Multiple fixes to one-way collisions. New CPU lightmapper.
Physics: Trigger broadphase update when changing collision layer/mask ( GH-39895 ). Physics: Fix laxist collision detection on one way shapes ( GH-39880 ). Physics: Allow Area2D and 3D mouse events without collision layer ( GH-40193 ). Rendering: Fixed images in black margins ( GH-37475 ).

GridMap: Fix editing MeshLibrary's Shapes array from the Inspector ( GH-56891 ). Rendering: Fix invalid read when using LightOccluder2D ( GH-56859 ).
New dynamic BVH for rendering and the GodotPhysics backends. If you experience a regression in either physics or rendering, you can try these Project Settings to revert back to the previous Octree-based approach and possibly fix the issue. Multiple fixes to one-way collisions. Improved Inspector sub-resource editing.

which did in fact improve 2D rendering considerably. Previously, only the root node of a scene was editable. It is now possible to edit any children node of the instanced scene and have the changes persist. Even sub-instances of instances can be edited with persistent modifications. Multiple scene editing.
A shader is a script where you write code that determines how the colors will be rendered based on various scenarios like lighting and material configuration. The ZWrite Off and ZTest Greater are responsible for making the shader render the material behind other objects.
A few late features have also been included because they were too good to keep waiting (such as improved Inspector subresource editing and node copy-paste support ). New dynamic BVH for rendering and the GodotPhysics backends. Multiple fixes to one-way collisions. Improved Inspector sub-resource editing. Godot 3.2.4
Edit 2020-07-30: We found that 3.2.3 Physics: Trigger broadphase update when changing collision layer/mask ( GH-39895 ). Physics: Fix laxist collision detection on one way shapes ( GH-39880 ). Rendering: Fixed images in black margins ( GH-37475 ). Rendering: Allow nearest neighbor lookup when using mipmaps ( GH-40523 ).
When a TileMap node is selected, you can now switch between the TileMap view, to pick tiles and draw them on the TileMap, and the TileSet editor, to edit the tile properties (colisions, Z-index, etc.): My next goals are to make the tile atlas management and most of the TileMap edition feature complete.
in January 2020, we switched the development focus towards the upcoming Godot 4.0 , which is a major, compatibility-breaking rewrite of the engine's core and rendering. Dynamic BVH for rendering and GodotPhysics. Rendering: Unified 2D batching. More rendering improvements. Physics: Many fixes to one-way collisions.
Please test it on Windows (any version) to confirm that editing a project from the project manager, and running a project from the editor, both work fine. Editor: Expose ScriptEditor::edit to scripting ( GH-55709 ). Physics: Fix test_move reporting collision when touching another body ( GH-54845 ). Jump to the Downloads section.
x branch used OpenGL ES 2.0 / OpenGL 2.1 ( GLES2 ) as its rendering API. This worked well, but had many limitations preventing us to use more modern rendering techniques. all rendering code was rewritten to use the more modern OpenGL ES 3.0 / OpenGL 3.3 renderer was removed. renderer was removed. OpenGL ES 2.0
Sprite Renderer – is what makes the object show up in the camera. Important: It is possible to continue editing your scene while the simulation is playing. Press Play now, and you will see that the Ball will bounce up from the Wall with as much force as it had before the collision.
Physics: Trigger broadphase update when changing collision layer/mask ( GH-39895 ). Physics: Fix laxist collision detection on one way shapes ( GH-39880 ). Rendering: Fixed images in black margins ( GH-37475 ). Rendering: Allow nearest neighbor lookup when using mipmaps ( GH-40523 ). or earlier (see GH-42051 ).

If you experience a regression in either physics or rendering, you can try these Project Settings to revert back to the previous Octree-based approach and possibly fix the issue. Multiple fixes to one-way collisions. Rendering: New dynamic BVH ( GH-44901 ).
Our script editor maintainer, Paul Batty ( Paulb23 ), implemented initial support for multi-caret editing in TextEdit, which is therefore usable in the GDScript and shader editors, as well as any other multi-line text field in the editor. Lots of rendering changes. OpenGL3: Add 2D lights to canvas renderer ( GH-67335 ).

Notable changes are in-editor class reference translations (so far Chinese (Simplified), Spanish, and some French), some new rendering features (high quality glow mode, 3D point light attenuation option), and a number of C# marshalling fixes. Physics: Improved logic for KinematicBody collision recovery depth ( GH-53451 ).

Rendering: Fixes depth sorting of meshes with transparent textures ( GH-50721 ). Rendering: Add soft shadows to the CPU lightmapper ( GH-50184 ). In-depth documentation is available.
Features and Tools Graphics and Rendering Capabilities Graphics and Rendering Capabilities are essential in game design software because of its graphics and rendering capabilities. Physics engines simulate the laws of physics within the virtual environment, governing object movements, collisions, and interactions.
Rendering: Portal occlusion culling. More rendering improvements. Revamped collision layer grid in the inspector. Up till now a significant missing feature in the renderer has been the ability to cull (prevent rendering) objects that are within the camera view, but occluded by another object (for instance a wall).
Physics: Trigger broadphase update when changing collision layer/mask ( GH-39895 ). Physics: Fix laxist collision detection on one way shapes ( GH-39880 ). Rendering: Fixed images in black margins ( GH-37475 ). Rendering: Allow nearest neighbor lookup when using mipmaps ( GH-40523 ). or earlier (see GH-42051 ).
glTF 2.0 ( GL Transmission Format ) is a fully open-source, widely implemented interchange format with built-in support for physically-based rendering standards. You can now export your Godot scenes to glTF to get it back into Blender or other apps and make edits continuously. What is glTF 2.0?
Create a new C# Script named “Paddle”, and open the script for editing. Even though the Paddle will take part in the physics system collisions, in the sense that it can move other bodies, its own position is controlled manually. This method will be called repeatedly, prior to rendering each frame of our game.
We know many users are excited about the coming improvements to 2D and 3D rendering in 4.0. Over the last few years we have completely overhauled the Godot renders. They now target Vulkan by default and we have created them with future support for Direct3D 12 and other rendering APIs in mind. We haven’t forgotten about 2D.
