This new technique was developed entirely in the open and implemented under our MIT license, so anyone is welcome to use it in their own engines and games. SDFGI is something akin to a dynamic real-time lightmap (but it does not requiere unwrapping, nor does it use textures). What can it do?

If you use and enjoy Godot, plan to use it, or want support the cause of having a mature, high quality free and open source game engine, then please consider becoming our patron. The biggest difference with the old lightmapper is that the new one features proper path tracing, which results in better looking lightmaps.

The new 3D engine is outstanding, with many features out-of-the-box that are still not common in other mainstream engines. The new 3D renderer is state-of-the-art, with features rarely see in game engines today, such as: Full principled BSDF. Both indirect light and voxel reflections are provided by this technique.

Use baked lightmaps instead. is not a fallback but a different platform you should target your game for. GIProbes of course don't work.

Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. Godot is a non-profit, open source game engine developed by hundreds of contributors in their free time, and a handful of part or full-time developers, hired thanks to donations from the Godot community.
