Godot may get approximate specular light from baked directional lightmaps, which is huge

Dude, no freaking way... What you're seeing here is me doing live-blending / animations on baked lightmaps in Godot...

godot 4.4 beta will allow baking low resolution lightmaps that DONT SUCK, this is NOT A DRILL!

working on adding baked ao settings to godot lightmaps to allow you to overdarken corners for ✨ DRAMA ✨

Here's how I do lighting in godot, hope it helps!
How to light scenes
I’ve been toying with godot lightmapper and made some simple scenes:
Some people asked how I do lighting.
I add a LightmapGI node and click bake!
Why lightmaps? Lightmaps have been around ever since v...

Godot will soon have specular occlusion from AO and lightmaps which will allow for much better looking reflections in interiors

I love baking lightmaps but mostly to just look at the raw lightmap texture

Tagging @passivestar.bsky.social since you asked about blending lightmaps.

A little experiment with postprocessing on *baked* lightmaps in Godot (they're just textures after all!). If you snatch the internal lightmap data and do some arcane SubViewport shenanigans, you can also use it to do *spatialized* effects on the lightmap too.

looking at leaks in lowres godot lightmaps:
- dilation touches neighbors
- there's no way to increase island padding, bicubic filter needs 4 texels
- denoiser doesnt have island isolation
- closed rooms leak through corners, probably a bias bug
- unocclusion algorithm is imprecise
seems solvable

Added some additional angle jitter options, and you can now output into MeshInstance3D (instead of MultiMeshInstance3D) so it supports lightmaps!

can you blend between two baked lightmaps with those arcane shenanigans? 🤔
