Notably, Windows users could experience crashes when baking lightmaps. Additionally, this release includes a number of non-regression bug fixes to various areas of the engine. Physics: Fix crash on debug shapes update if CollisionObject is not in tree ( GH-48974 ). was thus subject to this crash when baking lightmaps.

This new technique was developed entirely in the open and implemented under our MIT license, so anyone is welcome to use it in their own engines and games. Ensure your meshes are marked as "Static Bake", then enable SDFGI in the Environment settings. What can it do? How do you use it? Will write an article about this soon.

in January 2020, we switched the development focus towards the upcoming Godot 4.0 , which is a major, compatibility-breaking rewrite of the engine's core and rendering. Additional funding will enable us to hire more core developers to work full-time on the engine, and thus further improve its development pace and stability.

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. Rendering engineers are rare to find, so this can be a starting point. As for DirectX12, it's only relevant for Windows/UWP, so there is no strong incentive for us to support it as a cross-platform engine.

FBX has its own standard for handling animations which has not been fully reverse engineered correctly by any open source importer/exporter, so we had to start from scratch and only keep the FBX file parser from Assimp. Reverse engineering a lot of the functionality required to make FBX work properly was very hard. stable release.
