Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. In Godot, unlike in other engines, probes are also implemented as dual paraboloid. This means: Cubemap arrays are not supported in older hardware, mobile and WebGL2, and reflections need to be put into an atlas (for single-pass forward or clustered). uses GLES 3.0

It works by implementing voxel cone tracing in a way that is friendlier with low end GPUs and high end mobile. Implement post process effects: DOF Blur, Bloom and Tone Mapping.

Following on from the addition of OccluderShapeSphere in 3.4 , lawnjelly now brings us a more adaptable and easy way to add basic occlusion culling in the form of the OccluderShapePolygon. Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view. Add an Occluder node to your scene, and choose to create an OccluderShapePolygon.

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. Rendering engineers are rare to find, so this can be a starting point. Given GLES2 isn't going to disappear any time soon due to low end mobile devices, we still need to support it for a few more years to come.

beta just yet as we expect the engine to be unstable until we have more testing done. Throughout the last two years the core of the engine has seen a lot of improvements and refactoring to bring it to the next level in terms of maintainability, reliability, and performance. We don’t recommend migrating large projects to the Godot 4.0

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. Additional funding will enable us to hire more core developers to work full-time on the engine, and thus further improve its development pace and stability.
