Is it even worth it? (General Question about ArchViz)

I used to RAGE about lightmaps when I started with unreal…Now it’s not a problem at all since I learned how lightmaps work, how to tweak the settings and mostly…auto unwrap plugins for max. wow! Seriously I can unwrap a bunch of objects in 1 click. 99% of the time a simple flatten mapping + high res in unreal is good enough.<

You see that car in my project? over 100 objects, auto unwrapped and flattened in 1 click in max, 512 res lightmap on all parts (overkill as f*ck). No time to lose. No artifacts. It’s a W.I.P i’m testing light intensity and it’s obviously too low right now lol.
