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 shaderediting, VFX (particles) or animation, there is a large difference between Godot and engines such as Unreal.
This generally works and looks pretty, but it's quite shader intensive, which makes it not work on mobile or low end GPUs. 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). The smaller this value, the bigger the lightmaps will be.
Like in previous years, Godot is participating again in the Google Summer of Code program for its 2022 edition. Project: Allow undocking the Script editor and the Shader editor. In this project, I'll focus to make the Script editor and the Shader editor undockable, and keep the undocked windows after editor restarts. PR: #62378.
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 ). Rendering: Enable mipmaps in cubemap roughness shader ( GH-68511 ). It is not yet usable in production.
When the user turns on high-precision lightmap baking, 16-bit colors are used instead of 8-bit colors, and AO channels are baked separately. Still, the disadvantage is that it will increase the lightmap package. New and standard-material will default to Surface Shader.
Fixed Toon shader data issue on iOS Wechat. Fixed the issue of failed compression after configuring Custom Compress Format for texture in the project protocol program ● Fixed the Add Component button not showing in the Inspector panel after exiting animation editing mode. Fixed various issues when editing multiple selected nodes.
2、LightFX The lightmaps generated by the Lightmap Baking System will be automatically stored in this folder, and there is no need to manually modify the contents inside it. including animations,effects,models,shaders,ui,sounds and so on. Then, click on Edit checkbox, you can see the pipeline window shown as follows.
Visual shader editor. Unsupported features will not be visible when editing materials. Some shader features will not work and throw an error when used (which is to be expected when using an older OpenGL version). Unsupported features will not be visible when editing environments. Use baked lightmaps instead.
Materials and shaders. 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. Materials and shaders. writing shaders is very easy! Full principled BSDF. Global illumination (GI).
Improved Inspector sub-resource editing. 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. Editor: Node copy-pasting.
Shaders: Add support for structs and fragment-to-light varyings ( GH-48075 ). Lightmapper: Add an editor setting to configure number of threads for lightmap baking ( GH-52952 ). Particles: Fixed rotate_y property of particle shaders ( GH-46687 ). Scene: Fix loading packed scene with editable children at runtime ( GH-49664 ).
Shaders: Add support for structs and fragment-to-light varyings ( GH-48075 ). Editor: Fix MeshInstance2D edit rect ( GH-54070 ). Lightmapper: Add an editor setting to configure number of threads for lightmap baking ( GH-52952 ). Particles: Fixed rotate_y property of particle shaders ( GH-46687 ).

Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. You can even create complex dynamic effects by writing custom shaders that operate on FogVolume nodes. is introducing sky shaders which allow users to create dynamic skies that update in real time (including reflections).
