Normally our Beta 1 release notes summarize all the most exciting changes from the previous dev releases. Game window embedding was implemented to support our recent interactive in-game editing feature. This has been a major limitation in both the quality of lightmap baking and the ergonomics of the lightmap baking workflow.
It's fairly slow and there are still a lot of issues to iron out, but you should be able to start it, edit a project and run it. Rendering: Add optional UV2 logic for lightmapping to primitive shapes ( GH-67975 ). The downloads for this dev snapshot can be found directly on our repository: Standard build (GDScript, GDExtension).NET
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). Lightmapping is a very cheap operation, so it should run fine even on low end mobile. This is an approximate value of the size of a lightmap texel in world coordinates.
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). When doing tasks such as shader editing, VFX (particles) or animation, there is a large difference between Godot and engines such as Unreal.
Like in previous years, Godot is participating again in the Google Summer of Code program for its 2022 edition. x CPU lightmapper and adding a new debug draw mode for visualizing the texel density of lightmaps. Previously every LightmapGI node used to store its lightmap atlas in a single large image. Multi-image atlases.

Rendering: Add optional UV2 logic for lightmapping to primitive shapes ( GH-67975 ).

Lightmapper: Add an editor setting to configure number of threads for lightmap baking ( GH-52952 ). Scene: Fix loading packed scene with editable children at runtime ( GH-49664 ). The downloads for this dev snapshot can be found directly on our repository: Standard build (GDScript, GDNative, VisualScript). beta 5 and beta 6.
Improved Inspector sub-resource editing. The biggest difference with the old lightmapper is that the new one features proper path tracing, which results in better looking lightmaps. Also, the new lightmapper brings support for denoising using Open Image Denoise , which results in better-looking lightmaps in the same bake time range.
Unsupported features will not be visible when editing materials. Unsupported features will not be visible when editing environments. Use baked lightmaps instead. Key editing in inspector. Some advanced PBR features are not supported, such as subsurface scattering. Some post processing effects are not present either.
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. Improved 3D manipulation gizmos (multiple-axis editing and scale), thanks to the work of Przemysław Gołąb ( n-pigeon ).
Editor: Fix MeshInstance2D edit rect ( GH-54070 ). Lightmapper: Add an editor setting to configure number of threads for lightmap baking ( GH-52952 ). Scene: Fix loading packed scene with editable children at runtime ( GH-49664 ). Editor: Increase object snapping distances in the 3D editor ( GH-53727 ). RC 1 and RC 2.

Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. It may be possible to edit your project file manually, but otherwise it's recommended to let Godot generate a new one. The editor will store the editor version last used to edit a project inside the project.godot file.
