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 has been a major limitation in both the quality of lightmap baking and the ergonomics of the lightmap baking workflow.

Engine • Added DebugView at runtime UI control rendering debugging function. See the documentation “Render Debugging - Run Time Using Render debugging”: [link] • When the node animates, add the tween ‘destroySelf’ method to destroy the front nodal point. Still, the disadvantage is that it will increase the lightmap package.

Notably, Windows users could experience crashes when baking lightmaps. Physics: Fix crash on debug shapes update if CollisionObject is not in tree ( GH-48974 ). was thus subject to this crash when baking lightmaps. A few regressions made their way among the many bug fixes of 3.3.1, API documentation updates.

SDFGI is something akin to a dynamic real-time lightmap (but it does not requiere unwrapping, nor does it use textures). Ensure your meshes are marked as "Static Bake", then enable SDFGI in the Environment settings. What can it do? It's enabled and it automatically works by generating global illumination for static objects.
