If we faithfully followed the spirit of brutalism, we would only use solid colors or wireframe rendering. Technically from a game engine / rendering perspective, any use of textures is ornament. I'm proud of this moment, leveraging some recent dynamic lightmap tech built into Copper. Labor evokes thickness, depth, and mass.

depth rendering for shadow mapping. I will go more in-depth about shadow-mapping later, for now just know that in order to show shadows, the scene needs to be rendered from the perspective of each light and the result has to be saved. For the GLES2 renderer, I had to implement the interface for those shadow atlases.

in January 2020, we switched the development focus towards the upcoming Godot 4.0 , which is a major, compatibility-breaking rewrite of the engine's core and rendering. Dynamic BVH for rendering and GodotPhysics. Rendering: Unified 2D batching. More rendering improvements. Dynamic BVH for rendering and GodotPhysics.

Notable changes are in-editor class reference translations (so far Chinese (Simplified), Spanish, and some French), some new rendering features (high quality glow mode, 3D point light attenuation option), and a number of C# marshalling fixes. Rendering: Rooms and portals-based occlusion culling ( GH-46130 ).
