Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. This implementation handles spatial indexing of objects and, every frame, building a render list of objects drawn. Most game engines nowadays start with HLSL or CG as a base and offer it to the user directly.

Here you can see the Sponza demo model, with baked direct lighting, and the corresponding light map: Note that this first pass is not taking occlusion into account yet. While making medium to large scale games in Godot, many small bugs start to creep in that cannot be caught by the compiler. That will be added in the following weeks.
