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. Refactor the rendering API to make it easier to understand (and contribute to!).

It's been a month since the first progress report , and progress continues towards the new Godot renderer. Little by little every system falls into place, and rendering starts feeling a lot more mature. Implement Particle Shaders, with support for: Sorting, Collision and Soft Particles. Add Layered/Stencil rendering.

Analysis The whole effect can be split into two parts, one for the simulation of the mesh and one for the rendering of the mesh. Rendering is even more straightforward, just use the Graphic component and draw lines directly. Combined with the knowledge of the rendering, the texture is actually very close to the rendering vertex data.

And on startup, the collider doesn’t change position, but the renderer mesh and character controller move and hit this collider. And added a new element to the collision matrix, which was used to separate the player. I added a collider to the node where the character controller is. I solved my problem like this.

How many collision checks do you need to make here to see if Zangief gets hit? Now here’s a question - how many collision checks do I need to make in order to tell if Ryu hit Gief this frame? There are often thousands or even tens of thousands of polygons that go into a fully rendered model. If yes, Zangief gets hit.

This order of events can't be escaped, as logic affects physics and rendering needs both information from logic and physics to display. Rendering, while mostly a sequential process (GPUs are sequential), can be parallelized in a few places, like frustum culling and (in modern APIs such as Vulkan, Metal or DirectX12) creation of command lists.

And many of the regular tricks that devs use to save on rendering costs are lost when building VR games. “It A collision glitch like that in a PC game that may be funny or silly is a lot more intense in VR.” You’re rendering everything twice You have two screens you’re working with. Double the screens, double the render.

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.
