Likewise, documentation and demos have improved enormously, and there are several video tutorials created by the community available on YouTube. One of the areas where Godot is still weak is the 3D renderer, which while it is still relatively powerful, it is designed for compatibility and optimized for mobile and low end-PCs.

Changing the resolution of a finished mesh (for a mobile game, for example) requires an even less detailed model to run efficiently, forcing the modeler to recreate it from scratch. Most game engines also require multiple levels of asset detailing, which requires the use of multiple assets and leads to additional production and running costs.

I currently work at a game company called Directive Games as a technical artist where I first learned the general workflow of creating games and how to use a game engine. I almost wanted to cry (with joy) when the rendering frames could finally move without the screen freezing.

Today NVIDIA is releasing Streamline, an open-source cross-IHV framework that aims to simplify integration of multiple super-resolution technologies and other graphics effects in games and applications. It sits between the game and render API, and abstracts the SDK-specific API calls into an easy-to-use Streamline framework.
