Godot 4.0 will get a new, modernized lightmapper

Mircosoft Game Dev

The new lightmapper is GPU based written mostly on Compute shaders (meaning it does most of the heavy lifting using the GPU, via Vulkan). Most scenes bake in seconds instead of minutes or hours. Allows baking dynamic and static lights. Performs AI-based denoiser on the final bake, to ensure lightmaps are as smooth as possible.
