this looks amazing! I especially like the sunset feel

Looks great!

All the indirect lighting is baked. The scene actually has three separate baked lightmaps, which are selected automatically. Additionally, there are certain objects (like the lamp) which can respond to these changes, and turn themselves on/off automatically.

Now it just needs to be able to interpolate between those in a day night cycle 😂😂 looks great!!

im sure its easier said than done when it comes to making this, i wonder if something like this exists as a plugin in the Asset Library, at least some sort of framework to get you off your feet. It's really sick tho! I'm a sucker for good lighting 🙌

It was honestly just a lot of busy-work. All the things being changed are straightforward, there's just a lot. And not everyone's gonna need the same things. For example you might use VoxelGI, so you don't need lightmap swaps. Or you might not have a moon, or ocean, etc.

Actually yeah all the challenge came from game-specifics. I had to refactor a lot of things to support swappable luminaries (sun/moon), I had to refactor the ocean shader to support a global color param. I had to get access to the correct objects in my specific scene organization, etc.

goddamn yea that sounds tough dude. cool that it worked out so well tho! It looks awesome! Also its crazy that I'm a year into working with Godot yet I still havent learned as much as I thought I did LOL. I don't even know what a VoxelGI is 💀

majormcdoom.bsky.social•45 days ago

I envy you if you can use VoxelGI lol. It's basically GI without all the fuss of baking. I can't because of mobile VR performance limitations.
