Patrick Exner contributed to the godotengine/godot and godotengine/godot-website repositories over four months, focusing on editor tooling, localization, and platform-specific audio features. He developed a 3D Particle Emission Gizmo Visualization plugin for the Godot Editor using C++ and 3D graphics programming, enabling real-time feedback for particle system design. Patrick also improved signal handling stability for GPUParticles3D, addressing regressions and enhancing reliability. On the godot-website, he delivered German localization by managing translation files and configuration updates. Additionally, he implemented privacy-focused audio recording permissions and robust input handling for Apple embedded platforms, demonstrating depth in C++ development and cross-platform workflows.

In 2025-01, the godotengine/godot repository delivered a critical stability improvement for GPUParticles3D emission shape handling, along with fixes for signal-related regressions when combined with materials. This work focuses on reliability and developer productivity by ensuring proper connections/disconnections of the emission_shape_changed signal and by updating gizmos when the emission shape changes. Fixed a regression caused by an already disconnected signal and addressed an emission_shape_changed signal error when using ShaderMaterial with 3D GPUParticles. These changes improve runtime stability, material compatibility, and overall GPU particle reliability for games and simulations.

December 2024 monthly summary for godotengine/godot: Delivered a new Particle Emission Gizmo Visualization in the Editor, enabling visualization of 3D particle emission shapes (spheres, boxes, rings) directly within the Godot Editor. The feature is implemented as an Editor Gizmo plugin, providing real-time visual feedback for particle systems and improving usability and iteration speed for developers designing particle effects. The change is captured in commit e689c122a604ced4667d13f438ea1f5e3faace41 (Add visualization of 3D particle emission shapes). Business value includes faster tuning, reduced debugging time, and higher editor satisfaction. This work demonstrates proficiency in editor tooling, 3D visualization, and plugin development using Godot's Editor Gizmo API.
