One could even suppose that it makes content transfer (levels, features) even easier between the two games. In the early to mid stages of the game, most players will have similar ranks and similar progress. Having the possibility to double it permanently is a great game changer for how to design, create, and release content.

If you use and enjoy Godot, plan to use it, or want support the cause of having a mature, high quality free and open source game engine, then please consider becoming our patron. It was reusing parts of the code for baking GIProbes, and that made it quick but not great in terms of quality. New CPU lightmapper.

Lights are one of the most important part of any game. With lights you can create a different athmosphere and make your games look stunning. Unreal Engine has the most advanced lighting system out of all game engines. But if a character passes in front of baked light it will not display his shadow at all.

It's a long read, so here's a table of contents to easily get to a specific section: New physically based 3D renderer. The new 3D engine is outstanding, with many features out-of-the-box that are still not common in other mainstream engines. Just set up the probe bounds and do a fast pre-bake of static objects.

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. Godot, being an open source game engine, was built with a never-ending wish of adding new features to it. That will be added in the following weeks. Next steps.
