Lightmaps offer significant advantages over any other technique when the following requirements are met: Performance above anything else (for mobile, lightmaps are still a must-have). If these requirements are met, then lightmapping is probably the best for you. Lighting will not change (lights won't move). Easy to use.

No lightmaps or anything of the sort are required, providing a very quick and efficient workflow. For low-end systems or mobile devices, we provide a more classical lightmapping workflow. Both indirect light and voxel reflections are provided by this technique. It's also very easy to use. Improved flat style box.
