Introducing the new "last minute" lightmapper

Mircosoft Game Dev

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?

SDFGI is something akin to a dynamic real-time lightmap (but it does not requiere unwrapping, nor does it use textures). Ensure your meshes are marked as "Static Bake", then enable SDFGI in the Environment settings. What can it do? As long as walls are thicker than a voxel for a given cascade, light won't go through.
