Apple recently unveiled the Vision Pro. This type of device is mostly designed for augmented reality (AR), in the sense that it should be able to throw 3D models and rendering combined into a camera.
Normally with pass-through AR, one would expect to get the camera feed as an image and maybe some environment cubemap generated from the camera to apply proper lighting into the objects.
The main goal is to implement a GPU driven renderer for Godot 4.x. This is a renderer that happens entirely on GPU (no CPU Dispatches during opaque pass).
Additionally, this is a renderer that relies exclusively on raytracing (and a base raster pass aided by raytracing).
It is important to make a note that we dont want to implement a GPU driven renderer similar to that of AAA/Unreal, as example.
During the past days, this great article by Sam Pruden has been making the rounds around the gamedev community. While the article provides an in-depth analysis, its a bit easy to miss the point and exert the wrong conclusions from it. As such, and in many cases, users unfamiliar with Godot internals have used it points such as following:
In this brief article, I will shed a bit more light about how the Godot binding system works and some detail on the Godot
