Server for anything visible. Server for anything visible. The rendering server is the API backend for everything visible. The whole scene system mounts on it to display. The rendering server is completely opaque, the internals are entirely implementation specific and cannot be accessed. The rendering server can be used to bypass the scene system entirely. Resources are created using the [code]*_create[/code] functions. All objects are drawn to a viewport. You can use the [Viewport] attached to the [SceneTree] or you can create one yourself with [method viewport_create]. When using a custom scenario or canvas, the scenario or canvas needs to be attached to the viewport using [method viewport_set_scenario] or [method viewport_attach_canvas]. In 3D, all visual objects must be associated with a scenario. The scenario is a visual representation of the world. If accessing the rendering server from a running game, the scenario can be accessed from the scene tree from any [Node3D] node with [method Node3D.get_world_3d]. Otherwise, a scenario can be created with [method scenario_create]. Similarly, in 2D, a canvas is needed to draw all canvas items. In 3D, all visible objects are comprised of a resource and an instance. A resource can be a mesh, a particle system, a light, or any other 3D object. In order to be visible resources must be attached to an instance using [method instance_set_base]. The instance must also be attached to the scenario using [method instance_set_scenario] in order to be visible. In 2D, all visible objects are some form of canvas item. In order to be visible, a canvas item needs to be the child of a canvas attached to a viewport, or it needs to be the child of another canvas item that is eventually attached to the canvas. $DOCS_URL/tutorials/performance/using_servers.html Creates a camera and adds it to the RenderingServer.

Returns the version of the graphics video adapter [i]currently in use[/i] (e.g. "1.2.189" for Vulkan, "3.3.0 NVIDIA 510.60.02" for OpenGL). This version may be different from the actual latest version supported by the hardware, as Godot may not always request the latest version. [b]Note:[/b] When running a headless or server binary, this function returns an empty string. Returns the name of the video adapter (e.g. "GeForce GTX 1080/PCIe/SSE2"). [b]Note:[/b] When running a headless or server binary, this function returns an empty string. Returns the type of the video adapter. Since dedicated graphics cards from a given generation will [i]usually[/i] be significantly faster than integrated graphics made in the same generation, the device type can be used as a basis for automatic graphics settings adjustment. However, this is not always true, so make sure to provide users with a way to manually override graphics settings. [b]Note:[/b] When using the OpenGL backend or when running in headless mode, this function always returns [constant RenderingDevice.DEVICE_TYPE_OTHER]. Returns the vendor of the video adapter (e.g. "NVIDIA Corporation"). [b]Note:[/b] When running a headless or server binary, this function returns an empty string. Returns the id of a white texture. Creates one if none exists. If [code]half_resolution[/code] is [code]true[/code], renders [VoxelGI] and SDFGI ([member Environment.sdfgi_enabled]) buffers at halved resolution (e.g. 960×540 when the viewport size is 1920×1080). This improves performance significantly when VoxelGI or SDFGI is enabled, at the cost of artifacts that may be visible on polygon edges. The loss in quality becomes less noticeable as the viewport resolution increases. [LightmapGI] rendering is not affected by this setting. See also [member ProjectSettings.rendering/global_illumination/gi/use_half_resolution]. Returns [code]true[/code] if changes have been made to the RenderingServer's data.

A transparency of [code]0.0[/code] is fully opaque, while [code]1.0[/code] is fully transparent. Values greater than [code]0.0[/code] (exclusive) will force the geometry's materials to go through the transparent pipeline, which is slower to render and can exhibit rendering issues due to incorrect transparency sorting. However, unlike using a transparent material, setting [code]transparency[/code] to a value greater than [code]0.0[/code] (exclusive) will [i]not[/i] disable shadow rendering. In spatial shaders, [code]1.0 - transparency[/code] is set as the default value of the [code]ALPHA[/code] built-in. [b]Note:[/b] [code]transparency[/code] is clamped between [code]0.0[/code] and [code]1.0[/code], so this property cannot be used to make transparent materials more opaque than they originally are.

This can be useful when you have a flat mesh that has a light behind it. If you need to cast a shadow on both sides of the mesh, set the mesh to use double-sided shadows with [method instance_geometry_set_cast_shadows_setting]. Equivalent to [member Light3D.shadow_reverse_cull_face]. If [code]true[/code], light will cast shadows. Equivalent to [member Light3D.shadow_enabled].

If [method viewport_set_render_direct_to_screen] is [code]true[/code], then the viewport does not use a framebuffer and the contents of the viewport are rendered directly to screen. However, note that the root viewport is drawn last, therefore it will draw over the screen.

Creates an empty viewport and adds it to the RenderingServer. It can be accessed with the RID that is returned. This RID will be used in all [code]viewport_*[/code] RenderingServer functions. Once finished with your RID, you will want to free the RID using the RenderingServer's [method free_rid] static method. Returns the viewport's last rendered frame. Detaches a viewport from a canvas and vice versa. If [code]true[/code], sets the viewport active, else sets it inactive. Sets the stacking order for a viewport's canvas. [code]layer[/code] is the actual canvas layer, while [code]sublayer[/code] specifies the stacking order of the canvas among those in the same layer. Sets the transformation of a viewport's canvas. Sets the clear mode of a viewport. See [enum ViewportClearMode] for options. Sets the debug draw mode of a viewport. See [enum ViewportDebugDraw] for options. If [code]true[/code], the viewport's canvas is not rendered. If [code]true[/code], rendering of a viewport's environment is disabled. Affects the final texture sharpness by reading from a lower or higher mipmap. Negative values make textures sharper, while positive values make textures blurrier. When using FSR, this value is used to adjust the mipmap bias calculated internally which is based on the selected quality. The formula for this is [code]-log2(1.0 / scale) + mipmap_bias[/code] Determines how sharp the upscaled image will be when using the FSR upscaling mode. Sharpness halves with every whole number. Values go from 0.0 (sharpest) to 2.0. Values above 2.0 won't make a visible difference. Sets the viewport's global transformation matrix. Sets the anti-aliasing mode. See [enum ViewportMSAA] for options. Sets the viewport's parent to another viewport. If [code]true[/code], render the contents of the viewport directly to screen. This allows a low-level optimization where you can skip drawing a viewport to the root viewport. While this optimization can result in a significant increase in speed (especially on older devices), it comes at a cost of usability. When this is enabled, you cannot read from the viewport or from the [code]SCREEN_TEXTURE[/code]. You also lose the benefit of certain window settings, such as the various stretch modes. Another consequence to be aware of is that in 2D the rendering happens in window coordinates, so if you have a viewport that is double the size of the window, and you set this, then only the portion that fits within the window will be drawn, no automatic scaling is possible, even if your game scene is significantly larger than the window size. Sets scaling 3d mode. Bilinear scaling renders at different resolution to either undersample or supersample the viewport. FidelityFX Super Resolution 1.0, abbreviated to FSR, is an upscaling technology that produces high quality images at fast framerates by using a spatially aware upscaling algorithm. FSR is slightly more expensive than bilinear, but it produces significantly higher image quality. FSR should be used where possible. Scales the 3D render buffer based on the viewport size uses an image filter specified in [enum ViewportScaling3DMode] to scale the output image to the full viewport size. Values lower than [code]1.0[/code] can be used to speed up 3D rendering at the cost of quality (undersampling). Values greater than [code]1.0[/code] are only valid for bilinear mode and can be used to improve 3D rendering quality at a high performance cost (supersampling). See also [enum ViewportMSAA] for multi-sample antialiasing, which is significantly cheaper but only smoothens the edges of polygons. When using FSR upscaling, AMD recommends exposing the following values as preset options to users "Ultra Quality: 0.77", "Quality: 0.67", "Balanced: 0.59", "Performance: 0.5" instead of exposing the entire scale. Sets a viewport's scenario. The scenario contains information about environment information, reflection atlas etc. Sets the shadow atlas quadrant's subdivision. Sets the size of the shadow atlas's images (used for omni and spot lights). The value will be rounded up to the nearest power of 2. Sets the viewport's width and height. If [code]true[/code], the viewport renders its background as transparent. Sets when the viewport should be updated. See [enum ViewportUpdateMode] constants for options. If [code]true[/code], use Temporal Anti-Aliasing. If [code]true[/code], the viewport uses augmented or virtual reality technologies. See [XRInterface]. If [code]false[/code], disables rendering completely, but the engine logic is still being processed. You can call [method force_draw] to draw a frame even with rendering disabled. Emitted at the end of the frame, after the RenderingServer has finished updating all the Viewports. Emitted at the beginning of the frame, before the RenderingServer updates all the Viewports.

Normal bias used to offset shadow lookup by object normal. Can be used to fix self-shadowing artifacts. Bias the shadow lookup to fix self-shadowing artifacts. Sets the size of the directional shadow pancake. The pancake offsets the start of the shadow's camera frustum to provide a higher effective depth resolution for the shadow. However, a high pancake size can cause artifacts in the shadows of large objects that are close to the edge of the frustum. Reducing the pancake size can help. Setting the size to [code]0[/code] turns off the pancaking effect. Blurs the edges of the shadow. Can be used to hide pixel artifacts in low resolution shadow maps. A high value can make shadows appear grainy and can cause other unwanted artifacts. Try to keep as near default as possible. Represents the size of the [enum LightParam] enum. Use a dual paraboloid shadow map for omni lights. Use a cubemap shadow map for omni lights. Slower but better quality than dual paraboloid. Use orthogonal shadow projection for directional light. Use 2 splits for shadow projection when using directional light. Use 4 splits for shadow projection when using directional light. Use DirectionalLight3D in both sky rendering and scene lighting. Only use DirectionalLight3D in scene lighting. Only use DirectionalLight3D in sky rendering. Lowest shadow filtering quality (fastest). Soft shadows are not available with this quality setting, which means the [member Light3D.shadow_blur] property is ignored if [member Light3D.light_size] and [member Light3D.light_angular_distance] is [code]0.0[/code]. [b]Note:[/b] The variable shadow blur performed by [member Light3D.light_size] and [member Light3D.light_angular_distance] is still effective when using hard shadow filtering. In this case, [member Light3D.shadow_blur] [i]is[/i] taken into account. However, the results will not be blurred, instead the blur amount is treated as a maximum radius for the penumbra. Very low shadow filtering quality (faster). When using this quality setting, [member Light3D.shadow_blur] is automatically multiplied by 0.75× to avoid introducing too much noise. This division only applies to lights whose [member Light3D.light_size] or [member Light3D.light_angular_distance] is [code]0.0[/code]). Low shadow filtering quality (fast). Medium low shadow filtering quality (average). High low shadow filtering quality (slow). When using this quality setting, [member Light3D.shadow_blur] is automatically multiplied by 1.5× to better make use of the high sample count. This increased blur also improves the stability of dynamic object shadows. This multiplier only applies to lights whose [member Light3D.light_size] or [member Light3D.light_angular_distance] is [code]0.0[/code]). Highest low shadow filtering quality (slowest). When using this quality setting, [member Light3D.shadow_blur] is automatically multiplied by 2× to better make use of the high sample count. This increased blur also improves the stability of dynamic object shadows. This multiplier only applies to lights whose [member Light3D.light_size] or [member Light3D.light_angular_distance] is [code]0.0[/code]). Reflection probe will update reflections once and then stop. Reflection probe will update each frame. This mode is necessary to capture moving objects. Draw particles in the order that they appear in the particles array. Sort particles based on their lifetime. Sort particles based on their distance to the camera. [FogVolume] will be shaped like an ellipsoid (stretched sphere). [FogVolume] will be shaped like a cone pointing upwards (in local coordinates). The cone's angle is set automatically to fill the extents. The cone will be adjusted to fit within the extents. Rotate the [FogVolume] node to reorient the cone. Non-uniform scaling via extents is not supported (scale the [FogVolume] node instead). [FogVolume] will be shaped like an upright cylinder (in local coordinates). Rotate the [FogVolume] node to reorient the cylinder. The cylinder will be adjusted to fit within the extents. Non-uniform scaling via extents is not supported (scale the [FogVolume] node instead). [FogVolume] will be shaped like a box. [FogVolume] will have no shape, will cover the whole world and will not be culled. Use bilinear scaling for the viewport's 3D buffer. The amount of scaling can be set using [member Viewport.scaling_3d_scale]. Values less then [code]1.0[/code] will result in undersampling while values greater than [code]1.0[/code] will result in supersampling. A value of [code]1.0[/code] disables scaling. Use AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 1.0 upscaling for the viewport's 3D buffer. The amount of scaling can be set using [member Viewport.scaling_3d_scale]. Values less then [code]1.0[/code] will be result in the viewport being upscaled using FSR. Values greater than [code]1.0[/code] are not supported and bilinear downsampling will be used instead. A value of [code]1.0[/code] disables scaling. Do not update the viewport. Update the viewport once then set to disabled. Update the viewport whenever it is visible. Always update the viewport. The viewport is always cleared before drawing. The viewport is never cleared before drawing. The viewport is cleared once, then the clear mode is set to [constant VIEWPORT_CLEAR_NEVER]. Multisample antialiasing for 3D is disabled. This is the default value, and also the fastest setting. Multisample antialiasing uses 2 samples per pixel for 3D. This has a moderate impact on performance. Multisample antialiasing uses 4 samples per pixel for 3D. This has a high impact on performance. Multisample antialiasing uses 8 samples per pixel for 3D. This has a very high impact on performance. Likely unsupported on low-end and older hardware. Number of objects drawn in a single frame. Number of vertices drawn in a single frame. Number of draw calls during this frame. Represents the size of the [enum ViewportRenderInfo] enum. Debug draw is disabled. Default setting. Objects are displayed without light information. Objects are displayed with only light information. Objects are displayed semi-transparent with additive blending so you can see where they are drawing over top of one another. A higher overdraw (represented by brighter colors) means you are wasting performance on drawing pixels that are being hidden behind others. [b]Note:[/b] When using this debug draw mode, custom shaders will be ignored. This means vertex displacement won't be visible anymore. Debug draw draws objects in wireframe. Normal buffer is drawn instead of regular scene so you can see the per-pixel normals that will be used by post-processing effects. Objects are displayed with only the albedo value from [VoxelGI]s. Objects are displayed with only the lighting value from [VoxelGI]s. Objects are displayed with only the emission color from [VoxelGI]s. Draws the shadow atlas that stores shadows from [OmniLight3D]s and [SpotLight3D]s in the upper left quadrant of the [Viewport]. Draws the shadow atlas that stores shadows from [DirectionalLight3D]s in the upper left quadrant of the [Viewport]. Draws the screen space ambient occlusion texture instead of the scene so that you can clearly see how it is affecting objects. In order for this display mode to work, you must have [member Environment.ssao_enabled] set in your [WorldEnvironment]. Draws the screen space indirect lighting texture instead of the scene so that you can clearly see how it is affecting objects. In order for this display mode to work, you must have [member Environment.ssil_enabled] set in your [WorldEnvironment]. Colors each PSSM split for the [DirectionalLight3D]s in the scene a different color so you can see where the splits are. In order they will be colored red, green, blue, yellow. Uses high quality importance sampling to process the radiance map. In general, this results in much higher quality than [constant Sky.PROCESS_MODE_REALTIME] but takes much longer to generate. This should not be used if you plan on changing the sky at runtime. If you are finding that the reflection is not blurry enough and is showing sparkles or fireflies, try increasing [member ProjectSettings.rendering/reflections/sky_reflections/ggx_samples]. Uses the fast filtering algorithm to process the radiance map. In general this results in lower quality, but substantially faster run times. [b]Note:[/b] The fast filtering algorithm is limited to 256x256 cubemaps, so [member Sky.radiance_size] must be set to [constant Sky.RADIANCE_SIZE_256]. Use the clear color as background. Use a specified color as the background. Use a sky resource for the background. Use a specified canvas layer as the background. This can be useful for instantiating a 2D scene in a 3D world. Do not clear the background, use whatever was rendered last frame as the background. Displays a camera feed in the background. Represents the size of the [enum EnvironmentBG] enum. Gather ambient light from whichever source is specified as the background. Disable ambient light. Specify a specific [Color] for ambient light. Gather ambient light from the [Sky] regardless of what the background is. Use the background for reflections. Disable reflections. Use the [Sky] for reflections regardless of what the background is. Additive glow blending mode. Mostly used for particles, glows (bloom), lens flare, bright sources. Screen glow blending mode. Increases brightness, used frequently with bloom. Soft light glow blending mode. Modifies contrast, exposes shadows and highlights (vivid bloom). Replace glow blending mode. Replaces all pixels' color by the glow value. This can be used to simulate a full-screen blur effect by tweaking the glow parameters to match the original image's brightness. Mixes the glow with the underlying color to avoid increasing brightness as much while still maintaining a glow effect. Output color as they came in. This can cause bright lighting to look blown out, with noticeable clipping in the output colors. Use the Reinhard tonemapper. Performs a variation on rendered pixels' colors by this formula: [code]color = color / (1 + color)[/code]. This avoids clipping bright highlights, but the resulting image can look a bit dull. Use the filmic tonemapper. This avoids clipping bright highlights, with a resulting image that usually looks more vivid than [constant ENV_TONE_MAPPER_REINHARD]. Use the Academy Color Encoding System tonemapper. ACES is slightly more expensive than other options, but it handles bright lighting in a more realistic fashion by desaturating it as it becomes brighter. ACES typically has a more contrasted output compared to [constant ENV_TONE_MAPPER_REINHARD] and [constant ENV_TONE_MAPPER_FILMIC]. [b]Note:[/b] This tonemapping operator is called "ACES Fitted" in Godot 3.x. Lowest quality of roughness filter for screen-space reflections. Rough materials will not have blurrier screen-space reflections compared to smooth (non-rough) materials. This is the fastest option. Low quality of roughness filter for screen-space reflections.

Highest quality screen-space indirect lighting. Uses the adaptive target setting which can be dynamically adjusted to smoothly balance performance and visual quality. Calculate the DOF blur using a box filter. The fastest option, but results in obvious lines in blur pattern. Calculates DOF blur using a hexagon shaped filter. Calculates DOF blur using a circle shaped filter. Best quality and most realistic, but slowest. Use only for areas where a lot of performance can be dedicated to post-processing (e.g. cutscenes). Lowest quality DOF blur. This is the fastest setting, but you may be able to see filtering artifacts. Low quality DOF blur. Medium quality DOF blur. Highest quality DOF blur. Results in the smoothest looking blur by taking the most samples, but is also significantly slower. The instance does not have a type. The instance is a mesh. The instance is a multimesh. The instance is a particle emitter. The instance is a light. The instance is a reflection probe. The instance is a decal. The instance is a VoxelGI. The instance is a lightmap. Represents the size of the [enum InstanceType] enum. A combination of the flags of geometry instances (mesh, multimesh, immediate and particles). Allows the instance to be used in baked lighting. Allows the instance to be used with dynamic global illumination. When set, manually requests to draw geometry on next frame. Represents the size of the [enum InstanceFlags] enum. Disable shadows from this instance. Cast shadows from this instance. Disable backface culling when rendering the shadow of the object. This is slightly slower but may result in more correct shadows. Only render the shadows from the object. The object itself will not be drawn. Disable visibility range fading for the given instance. Fade-out the given instance when it approaches its visibility range limits. Fade-in the given instance's dependencies when reaching its visibility range limits. The nine patch gets stretched where needed. The nine patch gets filled with tiles where needed. The nine patch gets filled with tiles where needed and stretches them a bit if needed. Uses the default filter mode for this [Viewport]. The texture filter reads from the nearest pixel only. The simplest and fastest method of filtering, but the texture will look pixelized. The texture filter blends between the nearest 4 pixels. Use this when you want to avoid a pixelated style, but do not want mipmaps. The texture filter reads from the nearest pixel in the nearest mipmap. The fastest way to read from textures with mipmaps. The texture filter blends between the nearest 4 pixels and between the nearest 2 mipmaps. The texture filter reads from the nearest pixel, but selects a mipmap based on the angle between the surface and the camera view. This reduces artifacts on surfaces that are almost in line with the camera. The texture filter blends between the nearest 4 pixels and selects a mipmap based on the angle between the surface and the camera view. This reduces artifacts on surfaces that are almost in line with the camera. This is the slowest of the filtering options, but results in the highest quality texturing. Max value for [enum CanvasItemTextureFilter] enum. Uses the default repeat mode for this [Viewport]. Disables textures repeating. Instead, when reading UVs outside the 0-1 range, the value will be clamped to the edge of the texture, resulting in a stretched out look at the borders of the texture. Enables the texture to repeat when UV coordinates are outside the 0-1 range. If using one of the linear filtering modes, this can result in artifacts at the edges of a texture when the sampler filters across the edges of the texture. Flip the texture when repeating so that the edge lines up instead of abruptly changing. Max value for [enum CanvasItemTextureRepeat] enum. Adds light color additive to the canvas. Adds light color subtractive to the canvas. The light adds color depending on transparency. Do not apply a filter to canvas light shadows. Use PCF5 filtering to filter canvas light shadows.
