Runtime navigation mesh baking. Collision avoidance support. Now the NavigationRegion can be added during gameplay, and it's possible to change its transform or even bake the navigation mesh data at runtime. The agent is also responsible for avoiding collisions. Collision avoidance dynamic map updates. Character.

Physics: Many fixes to one-way collisions. Fixes to KinematicBody collisions. Cylinder collision shape for GodotPhysics. It was reusing parts of the code for baking GIProbes, and that made it quick but not great in terms of quality. Many fixes to one-way collisions. One-way collisions prior to Godot 3.3

Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. Those now come with support for attractors, collision , trails , sub-emitters and manual emission. This included adding new collision shapes, cylinder and heightmap , as well as re-implementing SoftBody nodes.

Just set up the probe bounds and do a fast pre-bake of static objects. Still, this workflow is easy and efficient as 3D objects get a second set of UVs generated on import, and baking works with instantiated meshes, scenes and even GridMaps. Both indirect light and voxel reflections are provided by this technique.

Use baked lightmaps instead. In particular, it solves a major pain point for new Godot users by no longer offering scaling handles for collision shapes, but letting you directly change their size instead. As this back-end is intended to run on the lowest end hardware possible, shaders need to be kept very small. New TileSet editor.
