Also I get quite significant differences in color between walls and ceilings. I guess now it's time to tweak BaseLightmass.ini to get rid of the splotches

for now, further tests with 4.10:
Light Quality: Medium
Static Lighting Level Scale: 0.2
Num Indirect Lighting Bounces: 20
Indirect Lighting Quality: 10
Indirect Lighting Smoothness: 1.0
BaseLightmass.ini
NumHemisphereSamples = 256
Texture size for walls and floors: 512
Rendering Time: 2.5h
And now question, how to get rid of this artifact? It happens on most points where walls connect with ceilings. It is adjusting the texture size?
And by the way, how to get better AA quality from Highres Screenshot? A screengrab from viewport looks like that (nevermind DOF):

I think it's more because temporal AA is a AA method that takes a couple frames to ''respond''. Look around in your scene and stop, you'll see it when the temporal AA kicks in! Apparently that doesn't work very well with a screenshot because it takes only a single frame!
But hopefully that's just a bug and it will get fixed!

You can always export 2-4 times higher resolution and downsize it in Photoshop. It helps to get rid of most jagged edges.UE4 blog: www.michalorzelek.com/blog/ - Tutorials, free content and more!

Yea, unfortunately I'm having problems with lighting in complexes scenes on 4.11
The portals are great, but the overall indirect lighting from skylight it's too dark in some corners and the shadows aren't so sharpen anymore. Also the artificial lights produces more light/shadows leaks than 4.10, even with a high indirect photons.
I have to make more tests or wait for the final release, because I couldn't achieve a perfect result from my old scenes

A preview is usually just adding to an older version, i doubt the packaging project malfunctions will be solved. Time to spend all day tomorrow, re-importing every single .fbx file into a brand new unlit un textures scene because of a stupid error that should have been dealt with long ago...
