Ensure your meshes are marked as "Static Bake", then enable SDFGI in the Environment settings. keeps improving and we are fully commited to create an amazing game engine, that you can use with the same freedom as as if it was your own in-house tech. How do you use it? Will write an article about this soon.

Lights are one of the most important part of any game. With lights you can create a different athmosphere and make your games look stunning. Unreal Engine has the most advanced lighting system out of all game engines. But if a character passes in front of baked light it will not display his shadow at all.

In game engines (or even when exported from the 3D modelling application), animation data is baked to a simpler representation because, for games, processing beziers and IKs is way too expensive for real-time. Just decoding the animation, however, is not enough.

By adding a simple cache to it, we made it so that light map texture coordinates are only computed when there's an actual change to the geometry of the mesh. Here you can see the Sponza demo model, with baked direct lighting, and the corresponding light map: Note that this first pass is not taking occlusion into account yet.
