Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. This document was written in hopes to find more developers that would like to help us write rendering code, as it explains the overall design. Running the whole graphics rendering in a separate thread.

A shader is a script where you write code that determines how the colors will be rendered based on various scenarios like lighting and material configuration. The ZWrite Off and ZTest Greater are responsible for making the shader render the material behind other objects. Then we give it a type – Color.

The vertical axes of textures and picture pixels is shown above, when sampling textures in shaders, that is from top to bottom, which is top-right corner. This is consistent with how most image file formats store pixel data, and with how most graphics APIs work (including DirectX, Vulkan, Metal, WebGPU, but not OpenGL).

This is a challenging task, even in cinematic rendering, because it is difficult to find all the paths of light that contribute meaningfully to an image. Solving this problem through brute force requires hundreds, sometimes thousands of paths per pixel, but this is far too expensive for real-time rendering.

UVs are also called texture coordinates and they let you map textures on your objects. You’re basically saying to the computer: “hey, I want this texture drawn from here to here”. If you change the UVs (or texture coordinates) of one vertex, you’re also changing the way the texture is displayed on your mesh.

Our sprite is 32x32 pixels in size, and it must be drawn at some position. Textures are simply bound to bind points starting from 0, and the bind point number is sent via attributes too. For each pixel drawn to the screen, OpenGL will interpolate the outputs that were generated from the vertex program and use them to fill the triangle.

Principle Since it’s an outer stroke, it doesn’t occupy the pixels of the original image to draw the edges. Remember the previous article, where we used the image’s Alpha to find edges, determining whether there were pixels with Alpha of 0 around the image. First, we get the uv of the surrounding pixel through the offset uv.

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.

Rather than each “pixel” of coin being on or off, you can carve a 3D shape into it. To accomplish this, I did my own “artist’s rendering” of what the metal coin should look like with various curves and different heights: That looks pretty good, but I cheated here. We can use different textures.
