Lets make Lightmass EPIC (and understandable)

My biggest wish would be to be able to import lightmass from another render package like Vray.
We can easily render to texture, and they have passes like the VrayRawLighting that would be a perfect candidate to replace lightmaps.

It would make the work between Unreal and other 3D package so much easier, letting Unreal do what he is best at, real-time view/interaction, leaving offline rendering to those who excel in that field.

I’ve already spoken with Vlado (head coder and owner of Vray) about it and he is more than happy to get this bridge happening between Unreal and Vray, just need unreal to agree with the idea.

What do you think of this @?

Vray for Unreal Engine - Don’t post such lucrative and heart breaking messages - it’s a felony.

Jokes aside, Light Cache and Irradiance Map can perform wonders in Unreal Engine. But again If we look at the direction of Lightmass development, it’s becoming more user friendly day by day and I am really hopeful about Real Time GI (VXGI and Enlighten) rather then Offline renders. I wish for Octane Render to become available for Unreal Engine rather then Vray.
