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. In ES 2.0,

The more urgent issue was to improve the 2D engine so we worked hard again and released Godot 1.1, which did in fact improve 2D rendering considerably. Live scene editing. Improved anchoring tool.

These equations are then combined and rendered using a graphics processing unit that outputs a rough but legible animated scene known as a 'playblast.'
