The new lightmapper is GPU based written mostly on Compute shaders (meaning it does most of the heavy lifting using the GPU, via Vulkan). Most scenes bake in seconds instead of minutes or hours. Allows baking dynamic and static lights. Performs AI-based denoiser on the final bake, to ensure lightmaps are as smooth as possible.

This generally works and looks pretty, but it's quite shader intensive, which makes it not work on mobile or low end GPUs. The solution to these problems is to add support for a more traditional lightmapper (pre-baked light texture). Just cover the scene with the volume, as you do with GIProbe: Finally, just press the big BAKE button.

This design makes some things easy: Avoiding user and developer mistakes by forcing a very clear API wall. For example: On GLES3+ we can use UBOs to optimize shader parameters.
