This generally works and looks pretty, but it's quite shader intensive, which makes it not work on mobile or low end GPUs. The newly added VR support also suffers with GIProbe, as it has to render in very high resolutions. Light is precomputed offline and rendered to a texture, which is then used by the geometry.

The 2D material system is back, so writing custom shaders works with the new Vulkan renderer. On desktop hardware, you can use thousands of them, while on mobile (except on very low end hardware) you can have hundreds of textures in a material. For 3D rendering, a persistent thread worker pool was created for the rendering thread.
