Godot 4.x 3D Tutorials - Lighting, World Environment and Global Illumination

In 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: https://www.humblebundle.com/software/gamemasters-toolkit-assets-tutorials-bundle-software?partner=gamefromscratch
