Dev snapshot: Godot 3.2.4 beta 6

Mircosoft Game Dev

JANUARY 16, 2021

New dynamic BVH for rendering and the GodotPhysics backends, which should fix some issues and improve performance significantly in games using a high number of dynamic objects. In this beta, the dynamic BVH is the default option for both physics and rendering. New dynamic BVH for rendering and the GodotPhysics backends (new in beta 6).

Godot 3.3 has arrived, with a focus on optimization and reliability

Mircosoft Game Dev

APRIL 21, 2021

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.

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.

MARCH 19, 2021

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. Rendering: New dynamic BVH ( GH-44901 ).

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.

our lead developer Juan Linietsky moved on to developing the upcoming Vulkan renderer for Godot 4.0 which will bring a new Vulkan-based rendering backend in lieu of the current OpenGL ES 3.0 / OpenGL 3.3 The curious among you may read Juan's progress reports for details on this new architecture and rendering features implemented for 4.0

Introducing the Godot glTF 2.0 scene exporter

Mircosoft Game Dev

JANUARY 4, 2021

glTF 2.0 ( GL Transmission Format ) is a fully open-source, widely implemented interchange format with built-in support for physically-based rendering standards. 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.

JANUARY 25, 2018

Because the computer won’t render the next frame until all the needed calculations are done! The main thread has not to wait until all the objects are instantiated and can already render the next frame while the placement process runs on the separate, second thread. This struggle is visible for the player as a freezing screen.
