Radiance Cascades Global Illumination (the one that will probably be a part of the upcoming Godot solution, mixed with their Voxel-based HDDAGI).
The initial solution of Radiance Cascades for 3D lighting was created by Path of Exiles 2 developers. And by Alexander Sannikov, who posted his experiments for the last couple of years.
But this one runs even on a phone. And it's beyond screen space!

Finally, my Godot 4 Screen Effects shader has been released into Stable version and explained in details! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38JYL-KEEoc #Shaders@GameDEV #GodotEngine@GameDEV
So many people asked why I didn't use 3D Post Processing shaders in Godot (that were introduced recently) and just made those screen effects with 2D overlay...
Fortunately, now I can give them Acerola video, that has a brief explanation of complexity it brings to the table:

Modular Lighting System - Custom Lighting Models - Episode 8
In today's shader tutorial, I show how to make our custom lighting shader modular so it will be easy to swap components in and out. In future videos we're going to be making alternate versions of diffuse, specular, ambient, and reflectance.

Bent Normals in Godot 4.5:
The first one is the new Bent Normals setup, the right one is without Bent Normals.
1. The new feature allows much better lighting with fairly cheap self-shadowing and no light leaking. It's still worse than RT, but much better than just Ambient Occlusion.
2. It's being used with AO, not as the replacement of it. Inside the shader I don't even have extra maps, I use Normal and AO + scaling to make Bent Normals.

Wavetale is very impressive and I like how they are using fake reflections with a mix of matcaps and flares.
It was on sale for like $2 and I don't think that $30 is a fair price. It's cute, but too simple. Get it on the next sale then!

By the way, in Godot 4.6 the transparency no longer breaks reflections behind it even if the Screen texture is used and modified. So, no more issues with screen effects if they are used as a 3D filter. Which is a huge upgrade that fixes a lot of possible…
And if you missed the fun, in our chat we were discussing the glass shader today and how glass almost always requires raytracing. A quick recap:
- Not always, you can make ok-ish glass that will work for most cases and will run much faster
- It will not work well as a nested set of similar effects in Godot, since only one glass will have full access to screen image. It will require tweaks in UE and Unity, and only in UE5.2+ it will be kinda OK, not 5.1 and before.
