Like in previous years, Godot is participating again in the Google Summer of Code program for its 2022 edition. This meant that the larger scenes might refuse to bake because they don't fit within the size limits of an image. This will be a draw mode that previews the texel density of lightmaps (without actually (re)baking them).

SheepIT statistic on 2022-08-30 As you can see from the screenshot above, at the time I'm writing this, there are 584 clients connected that are rendering 491 frames at the same time. Anything involving physics should be baked first too. Free means that you can use the service without paying money to use it.

I gave an Old World postmortem at GDC 2022, which is available on YouTube: However, I fully scripted the talk ahead of time, so I decided it would be worth taking the time to post the slides online, in three parts to have mercy on your browser. Editor’s Note: Later in 2022, Old World actually was nominated for a Grammy!)

So in April 2022, I quit my job to work on making animated short films full-time. I spent a week trying to figure out how to use a Control Rig to drive the undercarriage animation of my X-Wing models before giving up and just baking the animation into its own asset, which I can reuse easily. Staying organized.

with 17 alpha builds distributed in 2022, and continuous development effort since 2019. Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. The new NavigationServer supports fully dynamic environments and on-the-fly navigation mesh baking. It has been a long road to Godot 4.0

In an attempt to make content more scalable, PVE design borrowed a page from PVP and the team built new PVE modes as rule-sets that could be applied to any map by a game designer through simple tooling vs. baked in-experiences on custom maps.
