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.

Lightmap baking improvements Clay John changed the logic for baking direct lighting in LightmapGI to spread it over multiple frames, avoiding a spike of computation that can lead the OS to trigger TDR , resulting in a crash of the GPU context ( GH-102257 ). The experience should be much better already in beta 3.

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). Additionally, Godot 4.0 Screen space GI can be used to enhance the realism even more.

New vertex formats allow many more custom shaders and cases to take advantage of batching than before, and optional 2D software skinning has been added which should allow using 2D skeletal animation on a far wider range of hardware than was previously available. Godot is a complex piece of software and is not bug-free.

What’s even better and why more people would likely be interested in using the Unity Cinemachine is it’s not a standalone software program but a plug-in. It plugs directly into Unity’s software and provides the opportunity to get started right away. What If You Aren’t Using Unity? Unity Cinemachine In Action. Why We Love Cinemachine.

Game developers often need to compile large amounts of C++ code, which requires lots of CPU resources, and developers also need to process other types of heavy compute tasks such as; shader compilation, rendering, asset creation, image conversion, lightmap baking and more. So, how can we do this and with what type of solution?

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. Set any image as cursor and it will work, with reduced latency compared to a software cursor. It's also very easy to use.
