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.
supports advanced global illumination techniques such as lightmapping (including SH lightmapping), Voxel GI (which is fully real-time) and SDFGI (which is a single click, open world GI solution). Additionally, Godot 4.0 Screen space GI can be used to enhance the realism even more.
Game developers often need to compile large amounts of C++ code, which requires lots of CPU resources, and developers also need to process other types of heavy compute tasks such as; shader compilation, rendering, asset creation, image conversion, lightmap baking and more. So, how can we do this and with what type of solution?
New vertex formats allow many more custom shaders and cases to take advantage of batching than before, and optional 2D software skinning has been added which should allow using 2D skeletal animation on a far wider range of hardware than was previously available. More rendering improvements. not imported) by Godot's import system.
It's a long read, so here's a table of contents to easily get to a specific section: New physically based 3D renderer. 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. As mentioned above, 3.0

You may have already seen some of this content on social media, in blog posts, or in alpha release notes. We also reached out to content creators from the Godot community and got two very nice videos from FinePointCGI and Bramwell covering what Godot 4.0 In this article we highlight some of the new features we are most excited about.
