Like in previous years, Godot is participating again in the Google Summer of Code program for its 2022 edition. x CPU lightmapper and adding a new debug draw mode for visualizing the texel density of lightmaps. Previously every LightmapGI node used to store its lightmap atlas in a single large image. Multi-image atlases.

supports advanced global illumination techniques such as lightmapping (including SH lightmapping), Voxel GI (which is fully real-time) and SDFGI (which is a single click, open world GI solution). When doing tasks such as shader editing, VFX (particles) or animation, there is a large difference between Godot and engines such as Unreal.

It's fairly slow and there are still a lot of issues to iron out, but you should be able to start it, edit a project and run it. Rendering: Add optional UV2 logic for lightmapping to primitive shapes ( GH-67975 ). Rendering: A ton of fixes for all rendering backends, and missing features implemented for the OpenGL3 one.

Unsupported features will not be visible when editing materials. Unsupported features will not be visible when editing environments. Use baked lightmaps instead. Key editing in inspector. Some advanced PBR features are not supported, such as subsurface scattering. Some post processing effects are not present either.

No lightmaps or anything of the sort are required, providing a very quick and efficient workflow. For low-end systems or mobile devices, we provide a more classical lightmapping workflow. Improved 3D manipulation gizmos (multiple-axis editing and scale), thanks to the work of Przemysław Gołąb ( n-pigeon ).

This basically means you can only bake lightmaps using a single machine. You can even change the edit and color grading. Yes, Cinemachine is a plug-in for Unity, but what makes this plug-in great for this platform is the fact there are many other plug-ins to choose from that can work seamlessly with Cinemachine.

Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. It may be possible to edit your project file manually, but otherwise it's recommended to let Godot generate a new one. The editor will store the editor version last used to edit a project inside the project.godot file.
