What Is a Shader? Since the main premise of this effect is going to be a shader, we’ll start with explaining what a shader is. 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.
Rework EditorPlugin editing logic, allowing multiple plugins to be active at the same time ( GH-71770 ). Editor: Rework EditorPlugin editing logic ( GH-71770 ). Physics: Fix regression in collision detection for uniform scaling ( GH-71707 ). Shaders: Fix code generation for ProximityRange node in visual shader ( GH-71760 ).
GUI: Fix inconsistent state of Controls when editing and running scenes ( GH-70882 ). Physics: Bind methods related to disabling collision between joint bodies ( GH-70477 ). Physics: Implement collision impulse in Godot Physics 3D ( GH-70281 ). get_root() ). GUI: Expose Tree::deselect_all to scripting ( GH-71056 ).
Our goal is to have a modern, clustered renderer that supports everything mainstream engines support, including PBR, global illumination and flexible shaderediting. Write a more flexible, GLES 3 GLSL compatible shader language. Implement Particle Shaders, with support for: Sorting, Collision and Soft Particles.
Editor: Disable editing properties in foreign resources ( GH-63282 ). Editor: Improvements to shader editor ( GH-63582 ). Particles: Add "Hide on Contact" collision mode to ParticlesMaterial ( GH-61238 ). Physics: Add collision weight to PhysicsBody2D/3D for penetrations which must be avoided ( GH-64343 ).
GUI: Fix inconsistent state of Controls when editing and running scenes ( GH-70882 ). Physics: Bind methods related to disabling collision between joint bodies ( GH-70477 ). Physics: Implement collision impulse in Godot Physics 3D ( GH-70281 ). get_root() ). GUI: Expose Tree::deselect_all to scripting ( GH-71056 ).
Editor: Expose ScriptEditor::edit to scripting ( GH-55709 ). Particles: Fix for double use of seed in random shader variables ( GH-55607 ). Physics: Fix test_move reporting collision when touching another body ( GH-54845 ). Rendering: GLES3: Fix incompatible addition in auto exposure shader ( GH-55983 ). libvorbis 1.3.7,
Edit: Or not, there's a regression for the web editor in this build ( GH-57592 ). GridMap: Fix "Convert to MeshLibrary" not respecting collision transforms ( GH-56907 ). GridMap: Fix editing MeshLibrary's Shapes array from the Inspector ( GH-56891 ). A number of such fixes have been queued since the 3.4.2
Visual shader editor. Unsupported features will not be visible when editing materials. Some shader features will not work and throw an error when used (which is to be expected when using an older OpenGL version). Unsupported features will not be visible when editing environments. Key editing in inspector.
You can now export your Godot scenes to glTF to get it back into Blender or other apps and make edits continuously. For example, creating a blockout or prototyping within Godot, then exporting as glTF to further edit in Blender, and finally bringing the geometry back into Godot. glTF allows the creation of extensions for any purpose.
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 ). Particles: Fix for double use of seed in random shader variables ( GH-55607 ). Jump to the Downloads section.
Physics: Many fixes to one-way collisions. Fixes to KinematicBody collisions. Cylinder collision shape for GodotPhysics. Improved Inspector sub-resource editing. Many fixes to one-way collisions. One-way collisions prior to Godot 3.3 Fixes to KinematicBody collisions. Rendering: Unified 2D batching.
You can even create complex dynamic effects by writing custom shaders that operate on FogVolume nodes. is introducing sky shaders which allow users to create dynamic skies that update in real time (including reflections). For more information see the article introducing sky shaders. For other atmospheric effects, Godot 4.0
Shader language features. Revamped collision layer grid in the inspector. Shader language features. Our shader language maintainer Yuri Roubinsky ( Chaosus ) is busy doing magic on the development branch for Godot 4.0, Styleboxes of the same type can be edited together to save you time adjusting their margins and borders.
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. Editor: Add multi-caret support to TextEdit (and the script/shader editors) ( GH-61902 ).

Visual Shaders overhaul. Visual Shaders overhaul. introduced a new graph-based editor to editshaders visually, reimplemented from the previous version that was included in Godot 2.1. our contributor Yuri Roubinsky did a huge rework of the new visual shader's UX , and eventually assumed full maintainership of the feature.
Materials and shaders. Materials and shaders. makes up for it by providing an extremely powerful default material (which supports detail textures, triplanar mapping and other nice features) and an extremely easy-to-use shader language. writing shaders is very easy! Full principled BSDF. Global illumination (GI).
Like in previous years, Godot is participating again in the Google Summer of Code program for its 2021 edition. To correctly apply the new gravity vector, the narrow phase collision detection routine in Godot must be modified to account for soft body / area intersection and to send notifications when this occurs.
As we announced a few months ago , Godot is participating again in the Google Summer of Code program for its 2020 edition. Potentially look at adding some form of collision detection to the Jiggle modifiers, in both 2D and 3D. We omitted to announce the projects formally (sorry about that!), That's it for this progress report!
