Godot Super Scaling : Add-On For Godot Engine

INSTALLATION

Please download the add-on via the official Godot AssetLib inside the Godot Editor.

For manual install, download the SuperScaling folder from this repository and copy it into your Godot project.

CONFIGURATION

  • Add the SuperScaling.tscn scene to your main scene tree, it should be just below the root node.
  • Place your entire game world as a child of a new node under the root node (e.g. Spatial for 3D games or Node2D for 2D games).
  • In the SuperScaling inspector settings, link the Game World property to the node you created above.
  • Select Enable on Play, this will start the scaling add-on when you play the game (cannot be viewed in editor).
  • Set Usage to either 3D or 2D depending on your game type.
  • MSAA and FXAA are controlled by the SuperScaling add-on and the project settings do not take effect.
  • The SuperScaling add-on does add some anti-aliasing, however you may want to also enable MSAA or FXAA or both.
  • Shadow Atlas controls the map size for omni and spot lights. If you only use a directional light you can set this to 1.
  • To control the scale of the render, use the Scale Factor setting on the top of the inspector for SuperScaling.
  • 1.0 for the Scale Factor corresponds to 100% of the native resolution. 0.5 will be 50% and 2.0 will be 200%.
  • Note that setting the Scale Factor above 1.0 results in higher quality but will have lesser performance.
  • Setting the Scale Factor lower than 1.0 results in an image quality loss, but higher performance.
  • Please experiment with your game and your desired minimum spec to find an appropriate setting.
  • Also consider exposing the scale to users, so that they may tailor the experience to their level of hardware.
  • Smoothness controls the mix between the two scaling algorithms. 0.0 is more sharp and 1.0 is softer.
  • In general, values lower than 0.5 are better for upscaling and values above 0.5 better for downscaling.
  • However, this is an artistic choice and you should experiment to find the best value for your game.
  • In the project settings, for 3D games, the Stretch Mode should be set to disabled and Stretch Aspect to ignore.
  • For 2D games, the best project settings are 2d for Stretch Mode and keep_height for Stretch Aspect.
  • 2D HUD and UI elements will be shown above the scaled game and displayed at native resolution.
  • For 3D games, simply create a 2D node (such as Control) as a child of the root node and it will display properly.
  • For 2D games, you will need to create a Node2D and place your UI elements inside that. Then set the Z Index to 1 or above.
  • Be sure that Use VSync is set to On in the project settings for the smoothest performance.
  • One thing to note, SuperScaling will take control of your game while enabled, and you will no longer be able to edit as you play.
  • It is recommended to leave Enable on Play off while developing, and only enable the add-on when you need to test the graphics or performance.
