LPV + DFAO works pretty darn good (plus the new soft shadows), in 4.5 preview they have optimized it and it runs much faster. Plus you can now get reflections in dynamic scenes without faking it! add a Movable skylight, and then you can use reflection spheres again!! The lack of reflections in dynamic light was very noticeable before 4.5, but I can assure you it now works as expected, and looks great.

I also heard that Nvidia may be using a version of UE4 on their end to implement VXGI, so that is another possible route, have them submit a pull request. Either way, exciting times ahead!

That’s what I’m guessing. Good to hear on 4.5. I haven’t tried the preview but glad it’s more optimized. Actually, now that I’m reading it, can you elaborate about the dynamic reflections? That sounds and once I get a test scene up and running, adding the moveable skylight and reflection spheres and try that out Thanks!

Is there a thread that talks about best practices with reflection spheres and pointing out what not to do especially for performance? But between that and the new Distance Field Soft Shadows, 4.5 is going to be a huge update.
