Joan Fons is hired to work on Godot's rendering

Mircosoft Game Dev

I quickly felt at home and I started focusing on 3D editor and rendering contributions. release, and should make lightmaps a viable option for 3.2. Moving forward, and with my full focus on Godot development, my goal is to work on Godot's 3D rendering and help bring Godot 4.0 Debug output of the prototype implementation.

Maintenance release: Godot 3.3.2

Mircosoft Game Dev

Notably, Windows users could experience crashes when baking lightmaps. Physics: Fix crash on debug shapes update if CollisionObject is not in tree ( GH-48974 ). Rendering: Batching: Fix item_batch_flags stale state causing glitches ( GH-48992 ). was thus subject to this crash when baking lightmaps.

Godot 4.0 gets SDF based real-time global illumination

Mircosoft Game Dev

SDFGI is something akin to a dynamic real-time lightmap (but it does not requiere unwrapping, nor does it use textures). Occlusion generally works well, but you must ensure that walls are thicker than a voxel at the cascade they are rendering to in order to avoid light leaks. What can it do? It has a small cost when enabled.
