Lightmaps offer significant advantages over any other technique when the following requirements are met: Performance above anything else (for mobile, lightmaps are still a must-have). If these requirements are met, then lightmapping is probably the best for you. Lighting will not change (lights won't move). lightmapper.

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.

Additionally, the modern backend can implement rendering methods , such as forward clustered, mobile, and more in the future (such as deferred clustered, cinematic, etc.). and is intended to run on very old PC hardware as well as most older (still working) mobile phones. Rendering is significantly more efficient in Godot 4.0,

Implement Particle Shaders, with support for: Sorting, Collision and Soft Particles. It works by implementing voxel cone tracing in a way that is friendlier with low end GPUs and high end mobile. Implement the new version of the Godot SVO-based Light Baker. Implement post process effects: DOF Blur, Bloom and Tone Mapping.

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. For low-end systems or mobile devices, we provide a more classical lightmapping workflow.
