The modern one does rendering via RenderingDevice (which is implemented in drivers such as Vulkan, Direct3D 12, and more in the future). Rendering is significantly more efficient in Godot 4.0, Low level rendering access.

The reason is that lighting was done in an additive way, requiring an extra pass (drawing all 2D content again) for every light in the scene. The 2D material system is back, so writing custom shaders works with the new Vulkan renderer. For 3D rendering, a persistent thread worker pool was created for the rendering thread.

Especially in hybrid rendering, where G-buffer or shadow maps are rasterized, it’s potentially beneficial to execute AS building on async compute. In hybrid rendering, using the same LOD for rasterization and ray tracing can be considered. Consider representing mesh particles as instances in TLAS. Consider simplified shading.
