# Metal Rendering Device
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This document aims to describe the Metal rendering device implementation in Godot.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Future work / ideas
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Use placement heaps
|
||
|
|
* Explicit hazard tracking
|
||
|
|
* [MetalFX] upscaling support?
|

The Metal rendering owes a lot to the work of the [MoltenVK] project, which is a Vulkan implementation on top of Metal.
