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.

Q: Does the scene have to be pre-baked in any way to use ray tracing and/or path tracing? Pierre: The path tracer does not require any pre-baking, thanks to its more brute force (and slower) approach to lighting. The shape of a volume can be a box, a sphere, a custom mesh (concave), or it can be infinitely large (global).

We really loved how the demo was looking at the end of 2020, but we thought it embodied a bit more whimsy than it did darkness, so we've officially embarked on a complete overhaul of the entire demo level, including character models, level design, environments, and more. Are you ready to get dark, dear friends? Concept Art.

Just set up the probe bounds and do a fast pre-bake of static objects. Still, this workflow is easy and efficient as 3D objects get a second set of UVs generated on import, and baking works with instantiated meshes, scenes and even GridMaps. Here is an example using the older 3D platformer demo: VR support.

The illustration picture for this article is a screenshot of Wojtek Pe 's Forest scene demo made in Godot 4.0 Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. The new NavigationServer supports fully dynamic environments and on-the-fly navigation mesh baking. beta 1 now!

By adding a simple cache to it, we made it so that light map texture coordinates are only computed when there's an actual change to the geometry of the mesh. Here you can see the Sponza demo model, with baked direct lighting, and the corresponding light map: Note that this first pass is not taking occlusion into account yet.
