What is Level of Detail (LOD) in 3D Modeling? | Techniques & software

CG Spectrum

It helps reduce the amount of detail by simplifying polygons and textures as they get further away from the camera. Generally, the closer to camera, the more level of detail (surface details, textures, shadows, etc. For example, when viewing an object from far away, only basic features such as color and geometry may need to be visible.

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). Light is precomputed offline and rendered to a texture, which is then used by the geometry. First of all, you need to make sure your meshes have an UV2 layer. How does it look? How do I use it? Tweaking Options.

Maintenance release: Godot 3.3.2

Mircosoft Game Dev

Notably, Windows users could experience crashes when baking lightmaps. Additionally, this release includes a number of non-regression bug fixes to various areas of the engine. Import: Print a warning when importing a repeating NPOT texture in a GLES2 project ( GH-48817 ). was thus subject to this crash when baking lightmaps.

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?

Leveling Up Graphics and Performance with RTX, DLSS and Reflex at NVIDIA GTC

Nvidia

RTX Global Illumination (RTXGI) Leveraging the power of ray tracing, the RTX Global Illumination (RTXGI) SDK provides scalable solutions to compute multi-bounce indirect lighting without bake times, light leaks, or expensive per-frame costs. Unity has announced that DLSS will be natively supported in Unity Engine version 2021.2
