With real-time audiovisual applications that rely on any kind of interactivity, each frame lasts a fleeting moment. A moment you might want to capture, frame and hang on a wall. Fortunately, NAP 0.4.2 includes nap::Snapshot: a new high-resolution screenshot resource that can take stunning frame captures of extreme image quality.

The field of 3D Computer graphics has grown from a niche technical curiosity in the mid-1970s to mass appeal and distribution via movies and games. We’ve seen applications grow from flying logos, to highly engaging real-time renderings in games, to synthetic humans and de-aged actors in movies finally crossing the “uncanny valley” to be nearly indistinguishable from reality. However, the creation of 3D assets - computer graphics objects and the worlds they inhabit - still requires highly skilled technicians and artists, presenting a bottleneck to more widespread applications, such as creating 3D graphics for websites and E-Commerce. LiDAR has the potential to alleviate this bottleneck.

As Godot 4.0 with Vulkan gets closer, the developers have posted an update to clarify the direction that Godot 4 is taking for OpenGL ES. The renderer design and all resulting code has been re-implemented entirely from scratch in order to support Vulkan and modern rendering techniques. This will have taken close to three at the time of release. As such, OpenGL ES will not be supported in Godot 4. The goal is to support OpenGL ES 3 starting in Godot 4.1. There is more information which you can learn about from the Godot Engine team.

At Game Developers Conference today, NVIDIA demonstrated GeForce RTX technologies on the Arm platform using Vulkan to show how advanced graphics can be extended to a broader, more power-efficient set of devices. The demos included Wolfenstein: Youngblood from Bethesda Softworks and MachineGames, as well as The Bistro from the Open Research Content Archive running in real time on a MediaTek Arm platform with ray-traced graphics. The demos are made possible by NVIDIA extending support for its software development kits for implementing five key NVIDIA RTX technologies to Arm and Linux using the Vulkan API.
