This method for reading from lightmaps smoothes out sharp edges, but requires a small run-time performance cost. You can disable it in the project settings if needed. Additionally, lightmaps now support baking transparent objects and correlatedly: tinted shadows.	name github BlueCube3310 BlueCube3310	https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/89919	Off	The Sponza scene with bicubic shadows turned off.	/storage/releases/4.4/images/godot_shadow_bicubic_off.webp	/storage/releases/4.4/images/godot_shadow_bicubic_off_2x.webp	On	The Sponza scene with bicubic shadows turned on.	/storage/releases/4.4/images/godot_shadow_bicubic_on.webp	/storage/releases/4.4/images/godot_shadow_bicubic_on_2x.webp	left
