The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. Following on from the addition of OccluderShapeSphere in 3.4 , lawnjelly now brings us a more adaptable and easy way to add basic occlusion culling in the form of the OccluderShapePolygon.

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. Here is an example using the older 3D platformer demo: VR support.

Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. Several new optimization techniques are also at your disposal, such as occlusion culling , automatic mesh LOD , and manual HLOD using visibility ranges , made possible by Joan Fons ( JFonS ), and Juan.

Added to that fact, Vulkan still has years to go until it's properly supported in most desktop and mobile platforms, which makes it unattractive to implement for us (as it means considerably more effort to write, debug and maintain). This allows beautiful mixing between baked and real-time. Perform Subsurface Scattering.
