Introducing the new "last minute" lightmapper

Mircosoft Game Dev

This generally works and looks pretty, but it's quite shader intensive, which makes it not work on mobile or low end GPUs. The biggest challenge of this workflow is not the lightmap itself, but the fact that it should be easy to use (which is Godot's #1 design priority). The smaller this value, the bigger the lightmaps will be.

GLES2 and GDNative, progress report #6

Mircosoft Game Dev

Heyyy, this pretty much looks like the sky projected onto the meshes, that's better! At that point of development, the sky reflection didn't respond to the camera position, so it basically looked like the sky was painted ontop of the mesh. The cubemap filtering shader can be found here. Done May 2018. enviroment relections.

It is now possible to scale an.obj mesh when importing. Several new GLSL built-in functions are exposed to the shader language : radians degrees asinh acosh atanh exp2 log2 roundEven. The lightmap baker will now use all available cores on Windows like it does on macOS and Linux. This is also helpful for CI pipelines.

Cocos Creator 3.7.2 Focuses On Optimized Rendering And Lighting Capabilities

Cocos

Fixed an issue where Mesh objects created through MeshUtils.createMesh caused data anomalies. Fixed an issue where the setter for the Mesh:: _ hash attribute was not bound. When the user turns on high-precision lightmap baking, 16-bit colors are used instead of 8-bit colors, and AO channels are baked separately.
