Introducing the new "last minute" lightmapper

Mircosoft Game Dev

The solution to these problems is to add support for a more traditional lightmapper (pre-baked light texture). The biggest challenge of this workflow is not the lightmap itself, but the fact that it should be easy to use (which is Godot's #1 design priority). First of all, you need to make sure your meshes have an UV2 layer.

Godot 4.0 gets SDF based real-time global illumination

Mircosoft Game Dev

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. SDFGI is something akin to a dynamic real-time lightmap (but it does not requiere unwrapping, nor does it use textures). What can it do? How do you use it?
