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. Refactor the rendering API to make it easier to understand (and contribute to!).

The Inverse Kinematics feature, a constraint feature quite like a parent-child relationship in reverse order, used to pose the animations, was used on the character’s feet. This improves the fill rate because pixels outside the polygon won't be drawn. The animation is composed of a set of “key” frames.
