Does anyone have a good site/tutorial/course on lighting 3D scenes? Doesn't need to be specific to any particular game engine, just something that will help a beginner get a feel for how to approach the subject. For some HS students that are working on a project.

We've updated godotrecipes.com with lots of #GodotEngine 4 content, with lots more to come. I thought I'd throw this out to the community: What game system or technique would you like to see explained with easy-to-follow examples?

Excited to be teaching a year-long gamedev class to a group of HS seniors this year. We'll be using #GodotEngine of course. What would you have wanted to learn in a class like this?

I have some break time to work on some #GodotEngine tutorials/recipes for godotrecipes.com - but my todo list is so long, I can't choose. What should I make?
