Godot 4.0 gets SDF based real-time global illumination

Mircosoft Game Dev

JUNE 27, 2020

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.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2017

At the end of the day, the use case where Vulkan and DirectX12 make the most sense is when you have hundreds of thousands of objects, which are all different (different geometry, textures, etc.), Detect when shaders read from screen texture and automatically copy screen to back-buffer on demand. On a texture, a dual paraboloid is used.
