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.

Physics: Many fixes to one-way collisions. Fixes to KinematicBody collisions. Cylinder collision shape for GodotPhysics. The biggest difference with the old lightmapper is that the new one features proper path tracing, which results in better looking lightmaps. Many fixes to one-way collisions. New CPU lightmapper.

Implement Particle Shaders, with support for: Sorting, Collision and Soft Particles. It works by implementing voxel cone tracing in a way that is friendlier with low end GPUs and high end mobile. Implement the new version of the Godot SVO-based Light Baker. Implement post process effects: DOF Blur, Bloom and Tone Mapping.

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. For low-end systems or mobile devices, we provide a more classical lightmapping workflow. Improved flat style box.

This seemed like a great idea at the beginning, but ended up giving us many problems, such as: Bad performance on old mobile/desktop hardware which wasn't designed for the more modern rendering techniques being used. Incompatibility with older mobile devices which do not support OpenGL ES 3.0. On mobile, as OpenGL ES 3.0

Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. Those now come with support for attractors, collision , trails , sub-emitters and manual emission. This included adding new collision shapes, cylinder and heightmap , as well as re-implementing SoftBody nodes. GDExtension.
