Add transparency support for LightmapGI Currently when baking lightmaps users have to choose between transparent objects casting shadows as if they were fully opaque, or not casting shadows at all. This has been a major limitation in both the quality of lightmap baking and the ergonomics of the lightmap baking workflow.

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). The most common types of streaming are: Texture streaming : All textures are loaded in a tiny size by default.

Notably, Windows users could experience crashes when baking lightmaps. Import: Print a warning when importing a repeating NPOT texture in a GLES2 project ( GH-48817 ). Physics: Fix ragdoll simulation when parent was readded to scene ( GH-48823 ). was thus subject to this crash when baking lightmaps.

SDFGI is something akin to a dynamic real-time lightmap (but it does not requiere unwrapping, nor does it use textures). Multiple Bounces: Enable a feedback loop, which simulates multiple bounce lighting. What can it do? It's enabled and it automatically works by generating global illumination for static objects.

This laid out a vision of a new era of computer graphics for video games that featured photorealistic, ray-traced lighting, AI-powered effects and complex worlds with massive amounts of geometry and high-resolution textures.

Simulates how light bounces between surfaces, making lighting look more natural and filling in dark areas. These are pre-made textures that store lighting info for objects that don’t move. Texture Compression. Makes texture files smaller, speeding up loading times and using less memory. Rasterization.
