Unity Engine introduces an awesome tools to empower your game development process. And even before an era of SRPs (Scriptable Render Pipelines), there was a good amount of solid features like today’s topic: Render textures. In this post I’m going to explain to you how to use render textures in your game.

About shaders. For most game developers, shaders are this scary monster that presents itself with such a complexity that it seems out of reach. In reality, shaders are quite simple by default and just get more complex the more you add to them. The following OpenGL code sends the sprite to the shader for drawing: OpenGL Commands.

One factor to consider is whether background driver optimizations were engaged and when their resulting optimized shaders were deployed. The observations are then used to compile a shader asynchronously. Understandably, this can cause a great deal of confusion in timing your shaders.

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. Write a more flexible, GLES 3 GLSL compatible shader language.
