The newly added VR support also suffers with GIProbe, as it has to render in very high resolutions. The solution to these problems is to add support for a more traditional lightmapper (pre-baked light texture). Light is precomputed offline and rendered to a texture, which is then used by the geometry. How does it look?

If we want to support more complex Shaders, such as Blur, Depth of Field, and other effects, we need to work with the code to build it. Next, let’s do the actual rendering implementation.

This is a challenging task, even in cinematic rendering, because it is difficult to find all the paths of light that contribute meaningfully to an image. Solving this problem through brute force requires hundreds, sometimes thousands of paths per pixel, but this is far too expensive for real-time rendering.
