Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. As for DirectX12, it's only relevant for Windows/UWP, so there is no strong incentive for us to support it as a cross-platform engine. I'm not trying to say that these APIs are useless, though.

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. While making medium to large scale games in Godot, many small bugs start to creep in that cannot be caught by the compiler. That will be added in the following weeks.
