Hacker News with Generative AI: Godot Engine

Grass Rendering Series (hexaquo.at)
This is part 1 of a multi-part series on grass rendering. We’ll start by figuring out how realistic grass should look like, and how herbage can be modeled with the tools we have at our disposal in real-time 3D graphics. Then, we’ll look at how to implement different methods of grass rendering in Godot. However, most of the tutorial will not be Godot-specific aside from some node names and syntax.

Dev snapshot: Godot 4.5 dev 3 (godotengine.org)
If the past snapshot was any indication, you might think that development updates aren’t slowing down anytime soon. And… You’d be right! Indeed, progress has been booming, and the amount of new features added even compared to the previous release is staggering; curating this selection was especially difficult. As always, new features mean new bugs in need of fixing, so we encourage everyone interested to get feedback and bug reports in as early as possible.

How to Minify Godot's Build Size (93MB –> 6.4MB EXE) (bearblog.dev)
This was an article I wanted to do for ages. Godot's default file size for web exports is quite massive, and there weren't a lot of guides on how to reduce it aside from the official documentation - which gives general information without any numbers or details, leaving people to figure out how effective any of the solutions really are. It also doesn't mention some more advanced tricks we can use which I'll mention here.

Dev snapshot: Godot 4.4 beta 2 (godotengine.org)
We’ve been keeping busy these past two weeks squashing the bugs that cropped up in 4.4 beta 1. Despite how much the previous snapshot added, it bears repeating that we have entered the 4.4 feature freeze, so our energy has been focused on addressing any new regressions or the aforementioned bugs. We’re still aiming for a release sometime next month, but that all depends on how effectively new bugs get reported during this period.
