Luoshuang's GPULightmass

maybe setting 1 active core on every SWARM agent could solve this distribution.

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

this is amazing..

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.

Nice.. Looks like an offline renderer.

...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.
