See 'release/text/readme.html' for the end user read-me. --> +Goo Engine +========== + +Goo Engine is a version of Blender by [DillonGoo Studios](https://www.youtube.com/dillongoo) with some key modifications +to the source code that allow us to focus on NPR and Anime style rendering. Key features include the four custom Shader +nodes we added to Eevee and Light Groups. You can learn about them on the +[Professor Goo YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@professorGoo>). + +Some have asked why we haven't pushed these changes to Blender's master branch: +this is because many of these features would not be accepted as they are and may destablize other features like Cycles. +We only use Eevee for NPR so we prioritize specific features which the Blender Institute understandably can't afford to +make compromises for. This allows us to develop and test quickly. However, we do actively update Goo Engine to keep up +with the native Blender branch so they can evolve side by side. We also regularly add and improve custom features as we +use Goo Engine on projects at the studio.
