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.

Why it matters: Efficient UV mapping and normal map baking allow high-detail textures to be applied to low-poly models, preserving visual fidelity without unnecessary computational overhead. Adding Realism & Depth A 3D model without textures is lifeless. Why it matters: Improperly mapped textures break immersion.

It helps reduce the amount of detail by simplifying polygons and textures as they get further away from the camera. Generally, the closer to camera, the more level of detail (surface details, textures, shadows, etc. For example, when viewing an object from far away, only basic features such as color and geometry may need to be visible.

The gun has metallic surfaces and I wanted that successfully simulated. With that I have to create a low poly model of the gun on which we will bake the high poly details. Then I unwrapped the low poly mesh model into three UV sets in order to get a good resolution of the textures. I wanted to understand PBR textures well.

Techniques such as using lower-resolution textures, controlling particle spawn rates, and optimizing the lifespan of particles can significantly reduce the load on the GPU. Efficient Use of Textures Textures are a significant component of mobile game visuals, but high-resolution textures can quickly consume memory and processing power.

Fixed bone animation texture size error on some platforms that don’t support float point texture format. Fixed error on macOS simulator when selecting “Open simulator with debugger” and “Simulator wait for debugger connection” in Cocos Creator → Preferences → Preview at the same time.

Notably, Windows users could experience crashes when baking lightmaps. Import: Print a warning when importing a repeating NPOT texture in a GLES2 project ( GH-48817 ). Physics: Fix ragdoll simulation when parent was readded to scene ( GH-48823 ). was thus subject to this crash when baking lightmaps.
