Godot for AA/AAA game development - What's missing?

has an entirely new rendering architecture, which is divided into modern and compatibility backends. 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.

Godot's new renderer, progress report #1

Mircosoft Game Dev

OCTOBER 31, 2016

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. Optimize scene rendering to use less function calls. Implement PBR.

Rendering: A ton of fixes for all rendering backends, and missing features implemented for the OpenGL3 one. It's fairly slow and there are still a lot of issues to iron out, but you should be able to start it, edit a project and run it. Rendering: Added Viewport canvas cull mask feature ( GH-52350 ).

To do that we will edit the spaceship sprite by clicking on it in the project window. So we need to edit those as well. So we need to edit those as well. Select the player object and edit the collider so it is now 0.2 This time we will edit the enemy prefab. This will display our render texture.

Rendering: Portal occlusion culling. More rendering improvements. Portal occlusion culling. Up till now a significant missing feature in the renderer has been the ability to cull (prevent rendering) objects that are within the camera view, but occluded by another object (for instance a wall).

Our script editor maintainer, Paul Batty ( Paulb23 ), implemented initial support for multi-caret editing in TextEdit, which is therefore usable in the GDScript and shader editors, as well as any other multi-line text field in the editor. Lots of rendering changes. OpenGL3: Add 2D lights to canvas renderer ( GH-67335 ).

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. Improved Inspector sub-resource editing. New CPU lightmapper.

Godot 3.5: Can't stop won't stop

Mircosoft Game Dev

AUGUST 5, 2022

Godot can render at frame rates independent from the fixed physics tick rate. This can lead to problems where the movement of objects (which tends to occur on physics ticks) does not line up with the rendered frames, causing unsightly jitter. Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view. Physics interpolation in 3D.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2022

We know many users are excited about the coming improvements to 2D and 3D rendering in 4.0. Over the last few years we have completely overhauled the Godot renders. They now target Vulkan by default and we have created them with future support for Direct3D 12 and other rendering APIs in mind. has been added by Je06jm.
