	<brief_description>
		Computes and stores baked lightmaps for fast global illumination.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		The [LightmapGI] node is used to compute and store baked lightmaps. Lightmaps are used to provide high-quality indirect lighting with very little light leaking. [LightmapGI] can also provide rough reflections using spherical harmonics if [member directional] is enabled. Dynamic objects can receive indirect lighting thanks to [i]light probes[/i], which can be automatically placed by setting [member generate_probes_subdiv] to a value other than [constant GENERATE_PROBES_DISABLED]. Additional lightmap probes can also be added by creating [LightmapProbe] nodes. The downside is that lightmaps are fully static and cannot be baked in an exported project. Baking a [LightmapGI] node is also slower compared to [VoxelGI].
		[b]Procedural generation:[/b] Lightmap baking functionality is only available in the editor. This means [LightmapGI] is not suited to procedurally generated or user-built levels. For procedurally generated or user-built levels, use [VoxelGI] or SDFGI instead (see [member Environment.sdfgi_enabled]).
		[b]Performance:[/b] [LightmapGI] provides the best possible run-time performance for global illumination. It is suitable for low-end hardware including integrated graphics and mobile devices.
		[b]Note:[/b] Due to how lightmaps work, most properties only have a visible effect once lightmaps are baked again.
		[b]Note:[/b] Lightmap baking on [CSGShape3D]s and [PrimitiveMesh]es is not supported, as these cannot store UV2 data required for baking.
		[b]Note:[/b] If no custom lightmappers are installed, [LightmapGI] can only be baked when using the Vulkan backend (Clustered or Mobile), not OpenGL.

	<members>
		<member name="bias" type="float" setter="set_bias" getter="get_bias" default="0.0005">
			The bias to use when computing shadows. Increasing [member bias] can fix shadow acne on the resulting baked lightmap, but can introduce peter-panning (shadows not connecting to their casters). Real-time [Light3D] shadows are not affected by this [member bias] property.
		</member>
		<member name="bounces" type="int" setter="set_bounces" getter="get_bounces" default="1">
			Number of light bounces that are taken into account during baking. Higher values result in brighter, more realistic lighting, at the cost of longer bake times. If set to [code]0[/code], only environment lighting, direct light and emissive lighting is baked.
		</member>
		<member name="directional" type="bool" setter="set_directional" getter="is_directional" default="false">
			If [code]true[/code], bakes lightmaps to contain directional information as spherical harmonics. This results in more realistic lighting appearance, especially with normal mapped materials and for lights that their have direct light baked ([member Light3D.light_bake_mode] set to [constant Light3D.BAKE_STATIC]). The directional information is also used to provide rough reflections for static and dynamic objects. This has a small run-time performance cost as the shader has to perform more work to interpret the direction information from the lightmap. Directional lightmaps also take longer to bake and result in larger file sizes.
			[b]Note:[/b] The property's name has no relationship with [DirectionalLight3D]. [member directional] works with all light types.
		</member>
		<member name="environment_custom_color" type="Color" setter="set_environment_custom_color" getter="get_environment_custom_color">
			The color to use for environment lighting. Only effective if [member environment_mode] is [constant ENVIRONMENT_MODE_CUSTOM_COLOR].
		</member>
		<member name="environment_custom_energy" type="float" setter="set_environment_custom_energy" getter="get_environment_custom_energy">
			The color multiplier to use for environment lighting. Only effective if [member environment_mode] is [constant ENVIRONMENT_MODE_CUSTOM_COLOR].
		</member>
		<member name="environment_custom_sky" type="Sky" setter="set_environment_custom_sky" getter="get_environment_custom_sky">
			The sky to use as a source of environment lighting. Only effective if [member environment_mode] is [constant ENVIRONMENT_MODE_CUSTOM_SKY].
		</member>
		<member name="environment_mode" type="int" setter="set_environment_mode" getter="get_environment_mode" enum="LightmapGI.EnvironmentMode" default="0">
			The environment mode to use when baking lightmaps.
		</member>
		<member name="generate_probes_subdiv" type="int" setter="set_generate_probes" getter="get_generate_probes" enum="LightmapGI.GenerateProbes" default="0">
			The level of subdivision to use when automatically generating [LightmapProbe]s for dynamic object lighting. Higher values result in more accurate indirect lighting on dynamic objects, at the cost of longer bake times and larger file sizes.
			[b]Note:[/b] Automatically generated [LightmapProbe]s are not visible as nodes in the Scene tree dock, and cannot be modified this way after they are generated.
			[b]Note:[/b] Regardless of [member generate_probes_subdiv], direct lighting on dynamic objects is always applied using [Light3D] nodes in real-time.
		</member>
		<member name="interior" type="bool" setter="set_interior" getter="is_interior" default="false">
			If [code]true[/code], ignore environment lighting when baking lightmaps.
		</member>
		<member name="light_data" type="LightmapGIData" setter="set_light_data" getter="get_light_data">
			The [LightmapGIData] associated to this [LightmapGI] node. This resource is automatically created after baking, and is not meant to be created manually.
		</member>
		<member name="max_texture_size" type="int" setter="set_max_texture_size" getter="get_max_texture_size" default="16384">
			The maximum texture size for the generated texture atlas. Higher values will result in fewer slices being generated, but may not work on all hardware as a result of hardware limitations on texture sizes. Leave [member max_texture_size] at its default value of [code]16384[/code] if unsure.
		</member>
		<member name="quality" type="int" setter="set_bake_quality" getter="get_bake_quality" enum="LightmapGI.BakeQuality" default="1">
			The quality preset to use when baking lightmaps. This affects bake times, but output file sizes remain mostly identical across quality levels.
			To further speed up bake times, decrease [member bounces], disable [member use_denoiser] and increase the lightmap texel size on 3D scenes in the Import doc.
		</member>
		<member name="use_denoiser" type="bool" setter="set_use_denoiser" getter="is_using_denoiser" default="true">
			If [code]true[/code], uses a CPU-based denoising algorithm on the generated lightmap. This eliminates most noise within the generated lightmap at the cost of longer bake times. File sizes are generally not impacted significantly by the use of a denoiser, although lossless compression may do a better job at compressing a denoised image.
			[b]Note:[/b] The built-in denoiser (OpenImageDenoise) may crash when denoising lightmaps in large scenes. If you encounter a crash at the end of lightmap baking, try disabling [member use_denoiser].
