Today was a good day. Put up a code review for the biggest perf optimization I've ever written :D (at least in terms of ms saved)

In the end wasn't anything fancy, just object-oriented -> data-oriented change, cache efficiency is bonkers, go figure.

Better engineers would've gotten it right the first time, but I appreciated the OO up to this point for carrying me along until I knew what I actually needed to do with the data.

I also wrote a silly post on why I don't like Low/Medium/High/Ultra graphics settings names and propose an alternative (that already exists) that I want to ship going forward: https://alextardif.com/GraphicsSettings.html

I'm happy to announce a new version of my volumetric cloud shader for Godot. This version looks slightly better, but also features a much more realistic sky and is about 20x faster than the old version. The goal for this version was to be fast enough for use in production. I think I have achieved that as the cost for rendering the entire sky is < 1ms on my intel iGPU https://github.com/clayjohn/godot-volumetric-cloud-demo-v2 #godot #godotengine

@reduz If I were a king of some hypothetical engine, I'd perhaps explicitly say it's not going after AAA. Triple-III (indie teams with high production values), maybe AA, sure. And do that by focusing on pleasant workflows, good collaboration, fast iteration times. Mostly.

This week's #Godot4 beta 9 release will likely happen on Monday in the end.

Waiting for some fixes to recent regressions :)
