Normally our Beta 1 release notes summarize all the most exciting changes from the previous dev releases. Game window embedding was implemented to support our recent interactive in-game editing feature. This has been a major limitation in both the quality of lightmap baking and the ergonomics of the lightmap baking workflow.
Edit 22.12.2017: Windows binaries (both the editor binaries and the export templates) have been replaced by versions without OpenMP support, the latter forcing the installation of the MS Visual C++ Redistributable 2017 to get the OpenMP DLL.
The solution to these problems is to add support for a more traditional lightmapper (pre-baked light texture). Lightmapper looks pretty nice: Of course, GIProbe still has the advantages of being real-time, easier to set up (no unwrap or bake), supports rough refletions (which look great), and light affects dynamic objects more accurately.
Welcome back to another magically entrancing issue of the Kristala dev blog. Stay tuned to the Kristala dev blog—and to all our socials—to learn how you can get exclusive, behind-the-scenes access into Harold's entire, step-by-step process. Hello, faithful feline-lovin' friends and fantasy aficionados!
Edit: Release Candidate 2 is now up. A long time in the baking, but the first release candidate is here. This does not mean Godot is now without bugs, but that nothing should be too serious to affect your productivity. After stable release, we’ll keep fixing issues and then head over to 1.1 (see see roadmap !).
It won't just happen that hundreds of lines of class descriptions are written by the core devs; their time is much better spent developing the great features we are all so fond of waiting for. Basically the workflow is to fork and clone Godot's source repository, edit the doc/base/classes.xml file and make a pull request for your changes.
Lightmapper: Add an editor setting to configure number of threads for lightmap baking ( GH-52952 ). Scene: Fix loading packed scene with editable children at runtime ( GH-49664 ). The downloads for this dev snapshot can be found directly on our repository: Standard build (GDScript, GDNative, VisualScript). beta 5 and beta 6.
Improved Inspector sub-resource editing. It was reusing parts of the code for baking GIProbes, and that made it quick but not great in terms of quality. Also, the new lightmapper brings support for denoising using Open Image Denoise , which results in better-looking lightmaps in the same bake time range. 3D editor improvements.
A few late features have also been included because they were too good to keep waiting (such as improved Inspector subresource editing and node copy-paste support ). Improved Inspector sub-resource editing. Editor: Improved Inspector sub-resource editing ( GH-45907 ). Godot 3.2.4 As a reminder, since 3.2.4 0 , libasound.so.1
Like in previous years, Godot is participating again in the Google Summer of Code program for its 2022 edition. This meant that the larger scenes might refuse to bake because they don't fit within the size limits of an image. This will be a draw mode that previews the texel density of lightmaps (without actually (re)baking them).
Node: Fix Editable Children issues with node renaming, moving, duplicating and instancing ( GH-39533 ). Rendering: Disable lights for objects with baked lighting ( GH-41629 ). The download links for dev snapshots are not featured on the Download page to avoid confusion for new users. macOS: ARM64 support in official binaries.
Unsupported features will not be visible when editing materials. Unsupported features will not be visible when editing environments. Use baked lightmaps instead. Key editing in inspector. Some advanced PBR features are not supported, such as subsurface scattering. Some post processing effects are not present either.
In those applications, animation is edited as Bezier curves and many times happens naturally as a result of modifiers such as IK (Inverse Kinematics). Animation data is the information that comes from scenes that have been exported from Blender, Maya, 3DS Max, etc.
Node: Fix Editable Children issues with node renaming, moving, duplicating and instancing ( GH-39533 ). Rendering: Disable lights for objects with baked lighting ( GH-41629 ). The download links for dev snapshots are not featured on the Download page to avoid confusion for new users. Rendering: New dynamic BVH ( GH-44901 ).
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. It may be possible to edit your project file manually, but otherwise it's recommended to let Godot generate a new one.
Editor: Fix MeshInstance2D edit rect ( GH-54070 ). Lightmapper: Add an editor setting to configure number of threads for lightmap baking ( GH-52952 ). Scene: Fix loading packed scene with editable children at runtime ( GH-49664 ). Editor: Increase object snapping distances in the 3D editor ( GH-53727 ). RC 1 and RC 2.

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. Both indirect light and voxel reflections are provided by this technique.
The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. As always, many improvements and fixes to shader editing have been backported from 4.0 The whole API is now a lot more flexible than it used to be. Big improvements to VCS UI ( GH-53900 ).

Welcome back to the newest issue of the Kristala Dev Blog, a monthly compilation chronicling all the magic and mystery the Astral Clocktower Studios dev team puts into indie ARPG Kristala every development sprint. Stay tuned for updates in future Kristala dev blog issues. We can't wait to see what else he has in store.
Their job is to choose the clearest, highest-quality words they can assemble, and (usually) give them to other devs to be put into the game. Brainstorming, writing, editing, and workshopping text! A narrative designer writes too, but our primary job is getting the whole game to tell the same story. Creative writing. Organization.
Monopoly: Star Wars The Mandalorian Edition Game with Figure – $50. (or Pre-Order now the newest Monopoly Star Wars edition: The Mandalorian. Baking/Kitchen. So, I’ve become that person who decided to learn to bake during the pandemic. Description from publisher’s website. Description from Etsy.
