By test case i am assuming a way to recreate, I simply created a node with a billboard component and used a sprite as the texture. The color changes based on what is behind the billboard: The ‘water’ behind the white icon is a plane mesh I can bring the icon back to normal color by compromising the water material (see next reply)

Analysis The whole effect can be split into two parts, one for the simulation of the mesh and one for the rendering of the mesh. No need to define the vertex format, and even Cocos has support for sprite meshes. Well, it’s very comfortable, much more comfortable than just a mesh, and it has some practicality too.

Hello, I’m working on a custom material/effect with a USE_INSTANCING branch that works on sprites, but does not work on a spine character. Maybe spine outputs skinned meshes that don’t support instancing? I’ve tried the different animation cache modes, and enable/disable batch. Nothing special, but I’ve attached it below.

Bottom: 8 layers of a screen full of "A"s with two Sprites intermixed. Left is without batching, right is with.

Last time I promised more fancy screenshots, here some perspective-correct renderings of some meshes. Meshes with similar shaders can be grouped together so that shaders don't need to be unloaded and loaded again, and many other cool things. branch of the GDNative-demos repository here. perspective rendering. material API refactor.

to use specular and shininess both as parameter and as textures supplied to Sprite, AnimatedSprite, Polygon2D and other nodes. Loading resources in threads is now much more efficient, because both textures and meshes can be created in sub-threads at no cost at all for the main thread. Because of this, it will be possible in Godot 4.0

CSG tools have been added for fast level prototyping, allowing generic primitives and custom meshes to be combined via boolean operations to generate more complex shapes. Revamped filesystem dock.

Particle effects are a special type of technique used to display many objects/sprites in an efficient manner to create various effects. To use the GPU to compute our particle we must first change the render method from Billboard to mesh. Then make sure the Enable Mesh GPU Instancing is checked.
