OMM allows you to efficiently map complex geometries, such as dense vegetation and foliage, onto triangles and micro-meshes, providing high-level performance in detailed scenes. OMM SDK 1.0 is available to all developers.

In game engines (or even when exported from the 3D modelling application), animation data is baked to a simpler representation because, for games, processing beziers and IKs is way too expensive for real-time. alpha is around the corner now (we have been pushing pre-alpha builds recently), so looking forward to a release soon!

Only after endless hours of testing and iterating, the game is considered ready for a late-Alpha or even a Beta release, on the basis of how polished the in-game features are.

Technical details: Heightmaps are very similar to triangle meshes in term of collision detection. The difference is that heightmaps use an alternative first step to find which triangles to collide with, and then can use the same algorithm that triangle meshes use to generate contacts. To get ready for an alpha release of Godot 4.0,

What makes the approach so fast is that you only calculate lighting for the cells in the froxel buffer and then, when drawing meshes, you only need to look up the fog value from the froxel buffer.
