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?

So many games have that question baked into their core. And many of the regular tricks that devs use to save on rendering costs are lost when building VR games. “It You’re rendering everything twice You have two screens you’re working with. Double the screens, double the render. Does it feel good when playing?

This means having lots of lights no longer creates a performance hit on the rendering pipeline, since all we need to do is sample a single texture and we get the amount of light coming from all light sources. Along with data collection, I tried out implementing KDTree and KNN search. That will be added in the following weeks.
