My latest big contribution to the engine is the new CPU lightmapper, which will be landing with the 3.2.4 release, and should make lightmaps a viable option for 3.2. My first task will be integrating an occlusion culling system into the new Vulkan renderer. finish line.

Optimize your lighting by using techniques like Levels of Detail (LODs) and culling. Learn the lighting features in your game engine and explore software like Unreal Engine, Unity, or Blender. Capture lighting at specific points to realistically light moving objects. Additional Techniques Real-time Lighting. Iterate and Test.

APRIL 21, 2021

in January 2020, we switched the development focus towards the upcoming Godot 4.0 , which is a major, compatibility-breaking rewrite of the engine's core and rendering. Additional funding will enable us to hire more core developers to work full-time on the engine, and thus further improve its development pace and stability.

Throughout the last two years the core of the engine has seen a lot of improvements and refactoring to bring it to the next level in terms of maintainability, reliability, and performance. We don’t recommend migrating large projects to the Godot 4.0
