Dev snapshot: Godot 4.4 beta 1

Mircosoft Game Dev

Weve unified the code to make sure it works the same on both platforms, and weve fixed some bugs. Add transparency support for LightmapGI Currently when baking lightmaps users have to choose between transparent objects casting shadows as if they were fully opaque, or not casting shadows at all. This was added by Macksaur in GH-96290.

Introducing the new "last minute" lightmapper

Mircosoft Game Dev

The solution to these problems is to add support for a more traditional lightmapper (pre-baked light texture). Lightmapper looks pretty nice: Of course, GIProbe still has the advantages of being real-time, easier to set up (no unwrap or bake), supports rough refletions (which look great), and light affects dynamic objects more accurately.

Optimize Vegetation Generation

Mnenad

Mainly I focused on generating grass that bends in the wind and some fern like plants, but what comes next is usable for all kind of meshes. Batching means to combine mesh objects that share the same material or that are marked as static in the Unity inspector. In my case I had terrible FPS with just some thousand mesh instances.
