I'm happy to announce that, starting today, I will be working as a full-time Godot developer! Here you can see some screenshots: Comparison between no indirect lighting (top), and baked indirect lighting (bottom) in the TPS demo. Cornell box test using baked indirect lighting. Debug output of the prototype implementation.

beta 1 development snapshot , it's time for another beta release to bring us closer to the final 3.0 There will still be many fixes and enhancements done before the final release, and we will need your detailed bug reports to debug issues and fix them. Three weeks after our 3.0 beta 2 today, you can probably assume that 3.0

All Godot contributors are delighted to release our latest milestone today, Godot 3.3 , after more than 7 months of development! While most development focus is on our upcoming Godot 4.0 x branch to develop and publish their games today , so it's important for us to keep giving Godot 3 users an improved gamedev experience.

This new technique was developed entirely in the open and implemented under our MIT license, so anyone is welcome to use it in their own engines and games. Ensure your meshes are marked as "Static Bake", then enable SDFGI in the Environment settings. What can it do? How do you use it?

I've worked in games for a while now, building upon general software development experience from electronics and RF equipment. It is developed by Autodesk as a proprietary format and thus not a great philosophical match for Godot, but given its widespread use, we want to support it nevertheless. Research & development.

This document was written in hopes to find more developers that would like to help us write rendering code, as it explains the overall design. This design makes some things easy: Avoiding user and developer mistakes by forcing a very clear API wall. This allows beautiful mixing between baked and real-time.
