Alpha 9 and Shaders!


Godot 4 Beginners now supports Alpha 9! This version seems stable in my experience, so I recommend trying it with the latest source code. 

New Content


Content wise I have spent the last few weeks working on the shader demo – this shows off how you can use the all-new global shader parameters to pass information to all the shaders in your game world. I pass around the players position and a texture showing the path the player has walked to grass and snow shaders so they can react in real time. 

 The approach I took to generating this path texture is ideal for open world games, or large areas with lots of shaders that would want access to the path the player has travelled.

What is next:   

I am now focusing on some more supplementary tutorial content for the YouTube channel and working on the next batch of guides so stay tuned!

wish he actually made a tutorial on shaders for snow like that or even grass moving depending on the character standing there...

its not like he'll see this comment anyway

If you're in the discord I can often give help for areas that aren't doccumented yet! The shader topic is in the works but the physics secion is next in line
