GH-98163 ) CSGMesh3D now explicitly requires the mesh to be manifold. A manifold mesh must be closed, have each edge connected to only two faces, and have volume. Commonly, this means that it needs to be a watertight mesh without any holes and where you can never see the backside of the triangles. (

our contributor Yuri Roubinsky did a huge rework of the new visual shader's UX , and eventually assumed full maintainership of the feature. Yuri did not stop there, as he also implemented many additional features for the classical script shaders , such as support for constants, arrays and varyings. For Godot 3.2, and FBX scenes.
