Collision, Mesh and UX - Game Developers Network

Godot 3.4 is released with major features and UX polish

Mircosoft Game Dev

NOVEMBER 6, 2021

Revamped collision layer grid in the inspector. Fixes depth sorting of meshes with transparent textures ( GH-50721 ). Morris Arroad ( mortarroad ) has worked on using a more reliable algorithm from Bullet to generate physics convex hulls from meshes. HTML5: PWA, Godot/JavaScript interface, AudioWorklet. Lossless WebP encoding.

our contributor Yuri Roubinsky did a huge rework of the new visual shader's UX , and eventually assumed full maintainership of the feature. Skin support allows multiple meshes to share a single skeleton. formats permit more than 4 bone weights per vertex, such meshes are currently unsupported in Godot 3.2. For Godot 3.2,
