Luoshuang's GPULightmass

Rendered this entire apartment in 8 hours with a Quadro P6000 with 2k/4k lightmaps.

SWARM set 1 active core causes a mess and only one machine works ( one network XEONZ800....rest IDLE and cold )
So this option give no distribution at all
Testing 4 cores for all...

4 Cores for all gives better distribution. With setting the number of active CPU cores GPU machines can by nicely prioritized.
Result is: 820sec.

Swarm 4 cores on all machines:

PROBLEM: Back dots on the wall.

As someone who doesn't render such heavy scenes, how long would that have taken with standard lightmass?

Maybe 40 hours... I don`t know

Hi,
Kindly forgive my question if it's noobish.
I believe this would be beneficial for those of us who aren't very technical with ue4.
Can I revert back to old ue4 if I combine the downloaded zip folder content with the ue4 engine folder? or backing up the base lightmass ini is sufficient.

Thanks for making this. I intend to try this out asap.

...make a backup copy of the files or the folder(s) it's making changes in... if you open the zip you'll see what files it will copy...

So I just installed this into the engine, how do I know if it is working or not?

When you bake lighting for a level, the GPU Lightmass program window will start if everything is working as it should, and you will see progress in that window as well as the Swarm Agent window.

so the normal baking windiw will start just like stock UE4
