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: Enable mipmaps in cubemap roughness shader ( GH-68511 ). It is not yet usable in production.

Visual shader editor. Unsupported features will not be visible when editing materials. Some shader features will not work and throw an error when used (which is to be expected when using an older OpenGL version). Unsupported features will not be visible when editing environments. Use baked lightmaps instead.

Materials and shaders. 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. Materials and shaders. writing shaders is very easy! Full principled BSDF. Global illumination (GI).

Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. You can even create complex dynamic effects by writing custom shaders that operate on FogVolume nodes. is introducing sky shaders which allow users to create dynamic skies that update in real time (including reflections).
