Notably, Windows users could experience crashes when baking lightmaps. Import: Print a warning when importing a repeating NPOT texture in a GLES2 project ( GH-48817 ). Import: glTF: Improved error handling around invalid images and invalid meshes ( GH-48904 , GH-48912 ). was thus subject to this crash when baking lightmaps.

Godot 4.0 gets SDF based real-time global illumination

SDFGI is something akin to a dynamic real-time lightmap (but it does not requiere unwrapping, nor does it use textures). Ensure your meshes are marked as "Static Bake", then enable SDFGI in the Environment settings. What can it do? As long as walls are thicker than a voxel for a given cascade, light won't go through.

See the documentation “Render Debugging - Run Time Using Render debugging”: [link] • When the node animates, add the tween ‘destroySelf’ method to destroy the front nodal point. x users upgrade. Skip rendering when the UI element Opacity is 0.

Instead of computing the amount of light that reaches a certain surface every frame for every light source, we precompute all this information and store it in a single texture. The process of generating light map texture coordinates takes a while, and it was being triggered on every scene reimport. Introduction.
