The main goal of my GSoC project is to completely rewrite the light mapper in Godot and, instead of a voxel approach, use ray tracing to compute the scene lighting. I'm currently working on integrating Embree as a ray tracing library into the Godot editor. These can only be dealt with manually while debugging.
