Traditionally, most lighting is baked offline, computing just a handful of “hero” dynamic lights at runtime. RTX Global Illumination (RTXGI) RTXGI provides developers with a scalable solution for multi-bounce indirect lighting without light leakage, time-intensive offline lightmap baking, or expensive per-frame costs.

2、LightFX The lightmaps generated by the Lightmap Baking System will be automatically stored in this folder, and there is no need to manually modify the contents inside it. 5、scene The cube textures produced by the Reflection Probe baking system will be automatically saved in a folder specific to each scene.

“ It feels great to not have to sit around waiting for hours to bake lightmaps. Now we can get instant feedback and the art director can iterate faster than ever before.” Scott Knapp. A game developer in the last 5 years can be best described as a unrestricted nomad.

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.

It was reusing parts of the code for baking GIProbes, and that made it quick but not great in terms of quality. The biggest difference with the old lightmapper is that the new one features proper path tracing, which results in better looking lightmaps. New CPU lightmapper. The lightmapper in the previous 3.x

It must be pre-baked for dynamic scenario geometry, but it offers support for full dynamic lights and dynamic objects. The new GI probe implementation in Godot is a game changer, and gives Godot 3.0 an edge in quality over existing mainstream engines.

Prioritize the scene to use lightmap to bake AO so that even if HBAO is turned off, the effect is still not bad. ColorGrading is the most cost-effective post-production effect, which can quickly improve the image value of your project. Don’t rely on HBAO too much because it can’t run on low-end machines.

Game developers often need to compile large amounts of C++ code, which requires lots of CPU resources, and developers also need to process other types of heavy compute tasks such as; shader compilation, rendering, asset creation, image conversion, lightmap baking and more.

As of yet, there is no distributed baking. This basically means you can only bake lightmaps using a single machine. Still, if you’re a beginner just diving into the Unity universe, it’s good to know, as is the next potential con. If this sounds like a foreign language to you, don’t worry.

Just set up the probe bounds and do a fast pre-bake of static objects. No lightmaps or anything of the sort are required, providing a very quick and efficient workflow. For low-end systems or mobile devices, we provide a more classical lightmapping workflow. It's also very easy to use.

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. This feature adds more detail to existing GI techniques by using screen-space sampling, similar to SSAO.

Use baked lightmaps instead. As this back-end is intended to run on the lowest end hardware possible, shaders need to be kept very small. As such all lighting is done by using a forward multi-pass approach. GIProbes of course don't work. GPU-based Particles will not work as there is no transform feedback support.
