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.

Godot's new renderer, progress report #1

Mircosoft Game Dev

OCTOBER 31, 2016

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. Implement Particle Shaders, with support for: Sorting, Collision and Soft Particles.

Introducing the Godot glTF 2.0 scene exporter

Mircosoft Game Dev

JANUARY 4, 2021

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.

JULY 30, 2021

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!
