Add transparency support for LightmapGI Currently when baking lightmaps users have to choose between transparent objects casting shadows as if they were fully opaque, or not casting shadows at all. This has been a major limitation in both the quality of lightmap baking and the ergonomics of the lightmap baking workflow.

The cover illustration is from Ballionaire , a roguelike pachinko simulator where the laws of physics bend to your will, developed by newobject and published by Raw Fury! With some further fixes like GH-102424 , GH-102497 , and GH-102477 , lightmap baking got a nice upgrade in this snapshot. The issue is tracked in GH-101391.

Notably, Windows users could experience crashes when baking lightmaps. Physics: Fix ragdoll simulation when parent was readded to scene ( GH-48823 ). was thus subject to this crash when baking lightmaps. A few regressions made their way among the many bug fixes of 3.3.1, API documentation updates.

Nanite intelligently streams and processes only the detail you can perceive, largely removing poly count and draw call constraints, and eliminating time-consuming work like baking details to normal maps and manually authoring levels of detail. This allows users to focus less on tedious tasks and more on creativity.

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. Multiple Bounces: Enable a feedback loop, which simulates multiple bounce lighting. What can it do?
