The solution to these problems is to add support for a more traditional lightmapper (pre-baked light texture). Lightmapper looks pretty nice: Of course, GIProbe still has the advantages of being real-time, easier to set up (no unwrap or bake), supports rough refletions (which look great), and light affects dynamic objects more accurately.

features start to land in the development branch, and I'm pleased to introduce you the new NavigationServer and NavigationServer2D interfaces. Runtime navigation mesh baking. Now the NavigationRegion can be added during gameplay, and it's possible to change its transform or even bake the navigation mesh data at runtime.

I've worked in games for a while now, building upon general software development experience from electronics and RF equipment. It took us about 14 months to get a proper FBX importer working fully, since we had to engineer everything again: We rewrote all the mesh code to support all formats of FBX meshes correctly.
