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. Fixed an issue where the auto-atlas texture compression configuration failed.

x CPU lightmapper and adding a new debug draw mode for visualizing the texel density of lightmaps. Previously every LightmapGI node used to store its lightmap atlas in a single large image. I modified the implementation to allow saving the lightmap atlas as multiple images if it doesn't fit inside a single image.

SDFGI is something akin to a dynamic real-time lightmap (but it does not requiere unwrapping, nor does it use textures). This new technique was developed entirely in the open and implemented under our MIT license, so anyone is welcome to use it in their own engines and games. What can it do?

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. Consider how light will affect your environments, characters, and objects to make better decisions about materials, textures, and gameplay.

The biggest difference with the old lightmapper is that the new one features proper path tracing, which results in better looking lightmaps. Also, the new lightmapper brings support for denoising using Open Image Denoise , which results in better-looking lightmaps in the same bake time range. More rendering improvements. For Godot 4.0,

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.

Use baked lightmaps instead. Additionally, a noise texture can now be used as a resource, which generates noise on the fly. As this back-end is intended to run on the lowest end hardware possible, shaders need to be kept very small. As such all lighting is done by using a forward multi-pass approach. GIProbes of course don't work.

Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. You should also notice a significant bump in textures import speed thanks to the etcpak library, and the new multi-threaded importer. Scripts can still be used for additional tweaks, thanks to the new plugin interface.

A mipmap is a smaller version of the original texture, usually filtered in a special way to make them look nicer when they are viewed from an angle or far away. This is why for pixel-art games you often either change the filtering mode of textures or need to disable mipmaps to make the game look nice and sharp. ). Done May 2018.
