This generally works and looks pretty, but it's quite shader intensive, which makes it not work on mobile or low end GPUs. The solution to these problems is to add support for a more traditional lightmapper (pre-baked light texture). Just cover the scene with the volume, as you do with GIProbe: Finally, just press the big BAKE button.

It can also be done from within a particle shader itself by chaining another particle system as a sub-emitter.

Utilizing Shaders Wisely Shaders are powerful tools that can enhance the visual quality of a game, but they can also be demanding on mobile devices. To balance performance and quality, it’s essential to use shaders judiciously. Techniques like pre-computed lighting and baked animations can also reduce the computational load.

For example: On GLES3+ we can use UBOs to optimize shader parameters. Shader abstraction. This may sound like the obvious way of doing things but, in truth, it creates a big bottleneck on allowing users to write shaders. Users need to learn not only the language, but how the engine internals work regarding shaders.

We created 4 UV sets of each car and wrote a shader that swaps them. 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. As I mentioned before – almost every 3D object uses the same atlas texture.
