I'm proud of this moment, leveraging some recent dynamic lightmap tech built into Copper. Then there's only one place left to go: a platform near the starting point, with the gold key floating beneath an unusual ornament. As you press each button, this area gets progressively brighter and more sunlit, until it's positively glowing.

Fixed Byte Platform iPad screen display is not complete. Fixed Labelchar mode color anomaly on native platforms. 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.

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). Godot, on the other hand, serves as an excellent platform to build upon, as it solves the vast majority of problems already.

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. Using GDNative, it's possible to easily extend Godot in C/C++ without recompiling the engine, and that for any platform.

The 'server' platform is back as it was in Godot 2.1. A button has been added to the debugger to copy the error messages, useful for pasting them in bug reports or other community platforms. The lightmap baker will now use all available cores on Windows like it does on macOS and Linux. Now back to waiting for 3.0.2!

Yes, Cinemachine is a plug-in for Unity, but what makes this plug-in great for this platform is the fact there are many other plug-ins to choose from that can work seamlessly with Cinemachine. This basically means you can only bake lightmaps using a single machine. That is a huge plus when you’re talking about in-game development.
