You can now deploy your projects to all desktop platforms over SSH, as well as run a remote debug session similar to what we already offered for Android and Web. As the number of remote debug options is quite big by now, we’ve packed them neatly in a single drop-down menu ( GH-63312 , GH-70701 ). Jump to the Downloads section.

MAY 21, 2021

His work focuses on the rendering engine in Justice, specifically GPU features enabled by DirectX 12. Our first thought is to render some highly detailed models which may need insane number of triangles. Compute or draw indirect may be fine, but we do need to make a huge change on the rendering pipeline. Actually, it works.

This can lead to a problem, when the movement of objects (which tends to occur on physics ticks) does not line up with the rendered frames, giving unsightly jitter. Switch on physics/common/physics_interpolation , and Godot will now automatically interpolate objects on rendered frames so they look super smooth.

You can enable it in the Project Settings ( rendering/gles3/shaders/shader_compilation_mode ). rendering may be slower for a second or two, but the slowdown will not be nearly as bad as the typical hiccup caused by classic synchronous compilation. Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view. and backported to 3.5.

For instance, a model may also need to be under a certain polygon count, or it may need to be constructed in a way that will optimize the deformation and animation process. These equations are then combined and rendered using a graphics processing unit that outputs a rough but legible animated scene known as a 'playblast.'
