My latest big contribution to the engine is the new CPU lightmapper, which will be landing with the 3.2.4 release, and should make lightmaps a viable option for 3.2. Debug output of the prototype implementation. Not long after that, I got a job as a Godot consultant at Prehensile Tales, which I kept till last Friday.

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. Physics: Fix crash on debug shapes update if CollisionObject is not in tree ( GH-48974 ). 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? Will write an article about this soon.

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.

Engine • Added DebugView at runtime UI control rendering debugging function. See the documentation “Render Debugging - Run Time Using Render debugging”: [link] • When the node animates, add the tween ‘destroySelf’ method to destroy the front nodal point. x users upgrade. Skip rendering when the UI element Opacity is 0.

They've all been doing outstanding work so far, and we're looking forward to integrating all those changes in the engine! UV2 Texel Density Debug Draw Mode. x CPU lightmapper and adding a new debug draw mode for visualizing the texel density of lightmaps. Debug draw mode for texel density. Soft Shadows (merged).
