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).

In those applications, animation is edited as Bezier curves and many times happens naturally as a result of modifiers such as IK (Inverse Kinematics). Games will often have several requirements that must be satisfied regarding the imported animations, such as: Ability to attach and remove different meshes to be deformed by the same skeleton.

The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. For more advanced use cases, you can use TextMesh to generate 3D meshes from font glyphs, so you can add WordArt to your scenes ;). The whole API is now a lot more flexible than it used to be.

You have to pay for extra plug-ins to export, for example, FBX meshes out of an engine. As of yet, there is no distributed baking. This basically means you can only bake lightmaps using a single machine. You can even change the edit and color grading. Limitations on exporting.

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.

Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. Several new optimization techniques are also at your disposal, such as occlusion culling , automatic mesh LOD , and manual HLOD using visibility ranges , made possible by Joan Fons ( JFonS ), and Juan. has been added by Je06jm.

Once he played around with the cards a bit, Pete found them rather easy to create and, surprisingly, pretty practical to individually edit. Though the fur cards in the screenshots below still need quite a bit of editing, Pete is definitely on the right path. Convenient, right? 3D Environmental Design.
