Lumen removes the need for authoring lightmap UVs, waiting for lightmaps to bake or placing reflection captures, which results in crucial time savings in the development process. Thanks to a tight integration with NVIDIA’s tools and technologies our team is able to more easily optimize and stabilize UE5 for everyone.”

Game developers often need to compile large amounts of C++ code, which requires lots of CPU resources, and developers also need to process other types of heavy compute tasks such as; shader compilation, rendering, asset creation, image conversion, lightmap baking and more. So, how can we do this and with what type of solution?

2、LightFX The lightmaps generated by the Lightmap Baking System will be automatically stored in this folder, and there is no need to manually modify the contents inside it. This approach can significantly improve the performance and is particularly useful for scenes with lots of static buildings and objects.

Godot, on the other hand, serves as an excellent platform to build upon, as it solves the vast majority of problems already.

If we want to support more complex Shaders, such as Blur, Depth of Field, and other effects, we need to work with the code to build it. Blurring is handled by using the contents of the frame after the last process. Prioritize the scene to use lightmap to bake AO so that even if HBAO is turned off, the effect is still not bad.
