    But compiling levels takes so long with baked lighting :( /s

    I know it actually does take some time and does slow down level building. But until every supported graphics card can handle fully race traced environment lighting you’ll be stuck with that process anyway.

      Yes it does, but you are trading it for faster overall game performance

      Baked lighting is all you need. These ugly tricks we used in the game industry since the beginning is just good enough for our stupid monkey brains

      It’s just like HiFi tbh. It peaked and now the quality is drastically going down in favor of comfort (though in this case, not consumer comfort)
