UV2 Texel Density Debug Draw Mode. x CPU lightmapper and adding a new debug draw mode for visualizing the texel density of lightmaps. This meant that the larger scenes might refuse to bake because they don't fit within the size limits of an image. Debug draw mode for texel density. Soft Shadows (merged). Introduction.

This adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. To help with the common task of accessing specific nodes from scripts, Juan Linietsky ( reduz ) added the concept of "scene unique names" for nodes in the master branch ( GH-60298 ), and Tomasz backported it for 3.5.
