This is a challenging task, even in cinematic rendering, because it is difficult to find all the paths of light that contribute meaningfully to an image. Solving this problem through brute force requires hundreds, sometimes thousands of paths per pixel, but this is far too expensive for real-time rendering.

Theia is known for pioneering the use of real-time rendering for non-game mixed reality and interactive development. Because the lighting is baked in, it’s difficult to test out multiple lighting scenarios. So pre-baking all of those options would have been nearly impossible.

The newly added VR support also suffers with GIProbe, as it has to render in very high resolutions. The solution to these problems is to add support for a more traditional lightmapper (pre-baked light texture). Light is precomputed offline and rendered to a texture, which is then used by the geometry. How does it look?
