Notably, Windows users could experience crashes when baking lightmaps. Games exported with a ZIP data package could also trigger a crash on exit. Additionally, this release includes a number of non-regression bug fixes to various areas of the engine. was thus subject to this crash when baking lightmaps.

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?

in January 2020, we switched the development focus towards the upcoming Godot 4.0 , which is a major, compatibility-breaking rewrite of the engine's core and rendering. Additional funding will enable us to hire more core developers to work full-time on the engine, and thus further improve its development pace and stability.
