Nanite intelligently streams and processes only the detail you can perceive, largely removing poly count and draw call constraints, and eliminating time-consuming work like baking details to normal maps and manually authoring levels of detail. This allows users to focus less on tedious tasks and more on creativity.

x CPU lightmapper and adding a new debug draw mode for visualizing the texel density of lightmaps. Previously every LightmapGI node used to store its lightmap atlas in a single large image. This meant that the larger scenes might refuse to bake because they don't fit within the size limits of an image. Multi-image atlases.

Traditionally, most lighting is baked offline, computing just a handful of “hero” dynamic lights at runtime. RTX Global Illumination (RTXGI) RTXGI provides developers with a scalable solution for multi-bounce indirect lighting without light leakage, time-intensive offline lightmap baking, or expensive per-frame costs.

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? It's enabled and it automatically works by generating global illumination for static objects.

As of yet, there is no distributed baking. This basically means you can only bake lightmaps using a single machine. Still, if you’re a beginner just diving into the Unity universe, it’s good to know, as is the next potential con. If this sounds like a foreign language to you, don’t worry.

Use baked lightmaps instead. As this back-end is intended to run on the lowest end hardware possible, shaders need to be kept very small. As such all lighting is done by using a forward multi-pass approach. GIProbes of course don't work. GPU-based Particles will not work as there is no transform feedback support.

Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. The new NavigationServer supports fully dynamic environments and on-the-fly navigation mesh baking. This feature adds more detail to existing GI techniques by using screen-space sampling, similar to SSAO.

Prioritize the scene to use lightmap to bake AO so that even if HBAO is turned off, the effect is still not bad. ColorGrading is the most cost-effective post-production effect, which can quickly improve the image value of your project. Don’t rely on HBAO too much because it can’t run on low-end machines.
