supports advanced global illumination techniques such as lightmapping (including SH lightmapping), Voxel GI (which is fully real-time) and SDFGI (which is a single click, open world GI solution). This is handled nowadays by a type of technology called “streaming”. Few other technologies work as well in this area.
