The new Unity version 2020.2 .

Unity 3D is getting better every day. The new version 2020.2 offers many functions.

Godot 4.0 : New feature SDFGI on Godot.

Another feature for Godot game engine:

• Godot 4.0 gets SDFGI stands for Signed Distance Field Global Illumination based real-time global illumination;

See this feature at Juan Linietsky official YouTube channel - the author of this good game engine.
Juan Linietsky is part of the development team of Godot game engine starts in 2007.

Godot 4.0 : New features for godot game engine.

I used this game engine with the property scripting code GDScript and is easy to learn.
This is an procedual programming scripting language without OOP features.
The Godot game engine can be used with C# programming language.
Now, the author of this article name Juan Linietsky comes with news:
Yes, indeed. Godot 4.0 will also have a very cool Voxel based real-time GI.

Still, that is a different technique aimed at different use cases. Lightmaps offer significant advantages over any other technique when the following requirements are met:

• Performance above anything else (for mobile, lightmaps are still a must-have)
• Quality above anything else (no light leaking, ideal for architecture)
• Lighting will not change (lights won't move)

If these requirements are met, then lightmapping is probably the best for you.

On this official youtube channel the author show us the result of these features.
You can download this engine from the official webpage.

Another Ct.js game engine.

This is a game engine build and run with javascrip.
You can used on these operating systems: Windows, Linux and Mac OS.
Download the archive for your operating system and unarchive.
Start the ctjs application.
