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.

With that in mind, Cinemachine is a feature-rich plug-in that was also designed with game developers at the forefront of their thoughts. While subsequent versions of Unity are incorporating more artist-friendly features, it is still, at its heart, a game engine. There’s Always Room for Improvement.

In the past I've written about video game brutalism. Technically from a game engine / rendering perspective, any use of textures is ornament. I'm proud of this moment, leveraging some recent dynamic lightmap tech built into Copper. However, building these spiral stairs was a bit annoying.

Lighting changes in the game as you play, making the environment more interactive. This makes the game run faster since it doesn’t need to calculate the lighting all the time. Learn the lighting features in your game engine and explore software like Unreal Engine, Unity, or Blender. Learn Lighting Software.
