Texture baking Texture baking allows you to generate 2D texture maps from a 3D model's high polygon count and is a technique used particularly in video games. Baking takes into account the lighting, shadows, and other surface details of the high polygon model and transfers them onto the texture maps.

You can very well use a real time light to solve this issue but having multiple real time lights in your scene can really affect the performance.

The solution to these problems is to add support for a more traditional lightmapper (pre-baked light texture). Lightmapper looks pretty nice: Of course, GIProbe still has the advantages of being real-time, easier to set up (no unwrap or bake), supports rough refletions (which look great), and light affects dynamic objects more accurately.

When the user turns on high-precision lightmap baking, 16-bit colors are used instead of 8-bit colors, and AO channels are baked separately. Improvements • Move the Light Bake entry from the top item settings menu to the panel menu. •

Because the lighting is baked in, it’s difficult to test out multiple lighting scenarios. Theia could have pre-baked all of the configurator customization options, but that would have resulted in thousands of configurations for custom models. So pre-baking all of those options would have been nearly impossible.
