Q: Does the scene have to be pre-baked in any way to use ray tracing and/or path tracing? Pierre: The path tracer does not require any pre-baking, thanks to its more brute force (and slower) approach to lighting.

If you want to keep it the same size as the background buffer, pass in 1.0. addRenderPass : this function tells the pipeline that it needs to perform a rendering process.

One good reason is to know your inheritance, to reexamine it, to look for ideas which were baked into the very earliest version of the game and see if changing them could transform the experience. It was initially intended just to help with misclicks but became a pillar of the game (and was awesome for debugging too).
