"Raycast Normals" was introduced in 4.4 dev and defaulted to "false". The limited testing results at the time suggested that raycasting generally reduces normal quality compared to native simplifier results, at the same time increasing vertex memory and import time. To play it safe, we introduced a setting that defaulted to false, with the goal of removing it later in 4.4 development cycle if no regressions are noticed. Since we already had three dev snapshots and no reports, this change removes the setting and associated code. "Normal Split Angle" was only used when raycast normals were enabled; this change removes it from the settings, but keeps it in the script binding for compatibility. Existing meshes import exactly the same after this change (unless they chose to override raycasting which would be surprising). split_normals helper was only used in this code path and is also removed for simplicity; it is unlikely that this code will be useful as is, as it can only regenerate normals without fixing tangents or updating positions. |

Godot Engine
2D and 3D cross-platform game engine
Godot Engine is a feature-packed, cross-platform game engine to create 2D and 3D games from a unified interface. It provides a comprehensive set of common tools, so that users can focus on making games without having to reinvent the wheel. Games can be exported with one click to a number of platforms, including the major desktop platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows), mobile platforms (Android, iOS), as well as Web-based platforms and consoles.
Free, open source and community-driven
Godot is completely free and open source under the very permissive MIT license. No strings attached, no royalties, nothing. The users' games are theirs, down to the last line of engine code. Godot's development is fully independent and community-driven, empowering users to help shape their engine to match their expectations. It is supported by the Godot Foundation not-for-profit.
Before being open sourced in February 2014, Godot had been developed by Juan Linietsky and Ariel Manzur (both still maintaining the project) for several years as an in-house engine, used to publish several work-for-hire titles.
Getting the engine
Binary downloads
Official binaries for the Godot editor and the export templates can be found on the Godot website.
Compiling from source
See the official docs for compilation instructions for every supported platform.
Community and contributing
Godot is not only an engine but an ever-growing community of users and engine developers. The main community channels are listed on the homepage.
The best way to get in touch with the core engine developers is to join the Godot Contributors Chat.
To get started contributing to the project, see the contributing guide. This document also includes guidelines for reporting bugs.
Documentation and demos
The official documentation is hosted on Read the Docs. It is maintained by the Godot community in its own GitHub repository.
The class reference is also accessible from the Godot editor.
We also maintain official demos in their own GitHub repository as well as a list of awesome Godot community resources.
There are also a number of other learning resources provided by the community, such as text and video tutorials, demos, etc. Consult the community channels for more information.
