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.
Runtime navigation meshbaking. Now the NavigationRegion can be added during gameplay, and it's possible to change its transform or even bake the navigation mesh data at runtime. You can compose the NavigationRegion as you like, mine looks like this: Note: The meshes have a common static body under their node.
Ensure your meshes are marked as "Static Bake", then enable SDFGI in the Environment settings. Will write an article about this soon. SDFGI is mostly leak free, unlike VCT techniques which are the most common in use today (like SVOGI/GIProbe/etc). How do you use it? How does it work?
Look at these shiny highlights: 2D physics interpolation 2D hierarchical culling Mesh merging Discrete level of detail (LOD) ORM materials Text to speech Arctic Eggs This game about cooking eggs in a cold climate found great reception on the internet. The feature freeze for 3.6
We asked them to write a progress report to present what they're working on and the current status. 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).
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.
Use baked lightmaps instead. GDScript allows to write code in a quick way within a controlled environment. Does not always catch errors during compile (or write) time. Support for root motion as well as the ability to write your own custom blend nodes has also been added. Revamped filesystem dock. Revamped AnimationTree.
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. writing shaders is very easy! It's also very easy to use. In Godot 3.0,
When using Cinemachine, you don’t need to know how to write code, though coding is still essential for some components, such as scripting how a user zooms using a mouse wheel, for example. 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.
Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. You can even create complex dynamic effects by writing custom shaders that operate on FogVolume nodes. The new NavigationServer supports fully dynamic environments and on-the-fly navigation meshbaking. Of course, the 4.0
We're now in the middle of the GSoC 3-months coding period, and we asked students to write a progress report to present their project and the work done so far. By adding a simple cache to it, we made it so that light map texture coordinates are only computed when there's an actual change to the geometry of the mesh. What's next?
