The essence of offline culling is: pre-baking scene visibility and quickly culling unseen models during rendering.

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.

Reduce variants, embrace GPU instancing, and bake lighting when possible. Budget them like you would any feature, and when possible, bake effects directly into scene assets. Choose the right graphics API per platform (Vulkan, Metal, DirectX). Avoid runtime compilation; its a silent performance killer in fast-paced scenes.

Graphic simplicity was dictated by the general idea of the game’s casualty. A baking light map wouldn’t help either (trees are moveable objects – can be hit by cars passing by), so the only reasonable option was to decrease the number of polys. Rivals are supposed to win the slot-cars-like race set in a variety of worlds.
