We need to propagate the hacky checks from the raycast config to the
lightmapper config, as the failure of a `can_build()` check is not notified to
other modules (which might even be checked further depending on the processing
order in SConstruct).
A more thorough fix would be to change SConstruct to do two loops on modules:
one to check `can_build()` and disable modules which can't build, then another
one to rechecked `can_build()` with the new lineup and do further config.
But there would be more risk for regressions than with this ad hoc hack.
Similar story for the `platform/x11/detect.py` change... oh my eyes :(
Completely re-write the lightmap generation code:
- Follow the general lightmapper code structure from 4.0.
- Use proper path tracing to compute the global illumination.
- Use atlassing to merge all lightmaps into a single texture (done by @RandomShaper)
- Use OpenImageDenoiser to improve the generated lightmaps.
- Take into account alpha transparency in material textures.
- Allow baking environment lighting.
- Add bicubic lightmap filtering.
There is some minor compatibility breakage in some properties and methods
in BakedLightmap, but lightmaps generated in previous engine versions
should work fine out of the box.
The scene importer has been changed to generate `.unwrap_cache` files
next to the imported scene files. These files *SHOULD* be added to any
version control system as they guarantee there won't be differences when
re-importing the scene from other OSes or engine versions.
This work started as a Google Summer of Code project; Was later funded by IMVU for a good amount of progress;
Was then finished and polished by me on my free time.
