Godot 4.0 will get a new, modernized lightmapper

Mircosoft Game Dev

Let's hope this implementation will also be of use to others making their own technology or engines, so they can use it as reference or just copy it. The new lightmapper is GPU based written mostly on Compute shaders (meaning it does most of the heavy lifting using the GPU, via Vulkan). Allows baking dynamic and static lights.

and included in this beta are: Asynchronous shader compilation + caching (ubershader) ( GH-53411 ). A long awaited solution to shader compilation stuttering on OpenGL, courtesy Pedro J. This adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. Estébanez ( RandomShaper )!

Godot 3's renderer design explained

Mircosoft Game Dev

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. For example: On GLES3+ we can use UBOs to optimize shader parameters. Shader abstraction. Most game engines nowadays start with HLSL or CG as a base and offer it to the user directly.
