Learning Godot 4.x - 3D Lighting and Shadows, Global Illumination, World Environments++ Tutorial
691In this Godot tutorial, we take a look at the lighting system in Godot 4.x (Godot 4.2 in this example). We look at concepts like the various different kinds of lights in the scene, emissive textures, configuring a world environment, setting up global illumination and more more.
The models used in this project are from this Humble Bundle:
