A simple texture change or model update can impact gameplay mechanics, UI design, and monetization strategies. Genshin Impact: miHoYo uses a combination of handcrafted assets and procedural generation to sustain its ever-expanding open-world environment. Slow rendering and iteration cycles, delaying content updates.

has an entirely new rendering architecture, which is divided into modern and compatibility backends. The modern one does rendering via RenderingDevice (which is implemented in drivers such as Vulkan, Direct3D 12, and more in the future). Rendering is significantly more efficient in Godot 4.0, Low level rendering access.

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. SDFGI is something akin to a dynamic real-time lightmap (but it does not requiere unwrapping, nor does it use textures). What can it do? It has a small cost when enabled.
