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 texture API to include more modern texture compression formats.
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.
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.
It's been a month since the second progress report , and progress continues towards the new Godot renderer. Implement Particle Shaders, with support for: Sorting, Collision and Soft Particles. Add Layered/Stencil rendering. renderer works entirely in linear space (Gamma is no longer supported). Introduction.
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. Then we give it a type – Color.
To simplify things with the TileSet setup (removing the need to specify manually the atlases, autotiles or single tiles in a texture), you now have to organize your textures into fixed-size grids. Basically, this means that all source textures are now considered as atlases. Those tiles then won't be selectable to be painted.
Character Clipping and Collision Glitches A video game entails characters interacting with each other. Therefore, before launching your next game, perform rigorous collision testing to ensure characters behave as they should after a collision. Thorough texture and model testing is crucial to identify and rectify such issues.
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).
The main one was performance due to every light being rendered in a separate draw pass. Additionally, all 2D shadows and light textures use a single atlas, resulting in improved performance. the new CanvasTexture texture type has been introduced. The regular CanvasOccluders have a new option to enable them for SDF rendering.
Most of TileSet's systems (rendering, collisions, physics, navigation, …) are now using a concept of "layers" (this might be renamed). As an example, you could now define several PhysicsBodies per tile with different collision layers/masks. This allows you to customize the properties that the tiles themselves expose.
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.
Notable changes are in-editor class reference translations (so far Chinese (Simplified), Spanish, and some French), some new rendering features (high quality glow mode, 3D point light attenuation option), and a number of C# marshalling fixes.
