1、animations There is only one animation file under the folder, which is used for camera animation during roaming the scene when start. 2、LightFX The lightmaps generated by the Lightmap Baking System will be automatically stored in this folder, and there is no need to manually modify the contents inside it.

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. More rendering improvements. Uģis' original proposal.

See the documentation “Render Debugging - Run Time Using Render debugging”: [link] • When the node animates, add the tween ‘destroySelf’ method to destroy the front nodal point. 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.

Materials and shaders. 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. Materials and shaders. writing shaders is very easy! Full principled BSDF. Global illumination (GI).

Revamped animation editor. Visual shader editor. Some shader features will not work and throw an error when used (which is to be expected when using an older OpenGL version). As this back-end is intended to run on the lowest end hardware possible, shaders need to be kept very small. Use baked lightmaps instead.

Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. You can even create complex dynamic effects by writing custom shaders that operate on FogVolume nodes. is introducing sky shaders which allow users to create dynamic skies that update in real time (including reflections).
