High-poly models are first sculpted for maximum detail, then converted into low-poly versions for in-game use. Why it matters: Efficient UV mapping and normal map baking allow high-detail textures to be applied to low-poly models, preserving visual fidelity without unnecessary computational overhead.

Most scenes bake in seconds instead of minutes or hours. branch uses state of the art algorithms to ensure the maximum possible quality: Bakes geometry to lightmap coordinates using the actual rendering code, so any existing shader or material works. Allows baking dynamic and static lights. Features of the new Godot 4.0
