The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. And for more advanced use cases, there is now also TextMesh to generate 3D meshes from font glyphs, so you can add Word Art to your scenes ;). and backported to 3.5.

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.

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. Godot now supports 2D meshes , which can be used from code or converted from sprites to avoid drawing large transparent areas.

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.
