Metal: enable for betsy and lightmapper modules
To support this, the rendering_context_driver_metal.h header was updated
to recognise when it is included in non-Objective-C source files.

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?
