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. Godot will pick the right compression for textures when importing for mobile, and supply them over the network. It's also very easy to use.

To implement these different behaviors we could do some complex operations per pixel and possibly index pixels of the skymap and surrounding objects multiple times , but because graphic programmers are very empathic creatures we don't want the PC to do more work than necessary to achieve a believable effect.
