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.

Some ray-traced effects, like reflections or shadows, require support for out-of-frustum objects for rendering accuracy. Technically, you can use shader atomic increments to account for all the rays on each frame if needed. This way, you can process many dynamic meshes sharing the same shader using a single Dispatch call.

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.
