Weve unified the code to make sure it works the same on both platforms, and weve fixed some bugs. 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 was added by Macksaur in GH-96290.

Lightmaps offer significant advantages over any other technique when the following requirements are met: Performance above anything else (for mobile, lightmaps are still a must-have). If these requirements are met, then lightmapping is probably the best for you. Lighting will not change (lights won't move). Easy to use.

This generally works and looks pretty, but it's quite shader intensive, which makes it not work on mobile or low end GPUs. The biggest challenge of this workflow is not the lightmap itself, but the fact that it should be easy to use (which is Godot's #1 design priority). The smaller this value, the bigger the lightmaps will be.

Additionally, the modern backend can implement rendering methods , such as forward clustered, mobile, and more in the future (such as deferred clustered, cinematic, etc.). and is intended to run on very old PC hardware as well as most older (still working) mobile phones. Rendering is significantly more efficient in Godot 4.0,

You can access the help menu by pressing ESC key (or clicking on the settings button if you’re playing it on a mobile device). 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. and gpu-mobiles.ts.

Editor: Disable code font ligatures by default in the editor ( GH-68571 ). Rendering: Add optional UV2 logic for lightmapping to primitive shapes ( GH-67975 ). Rendering: Add texture reading code to OpenGL3 renderer for web and mobile ( GH-68138 ). Thirdparty: Regenerate GL loader code with GLAD 2 ( GH-68372 ).

It works by implementing voxel cone tracing in a way that is friendlier with low end GPUs and high end mobile. Seeing the code. If you are interested in seeing what each feature looks like in the code, you can check the gles3 branch on GitHub. Hoping that by the end of January, the new renderer will be mostly done!
