Luoshuang's GPULightmass

Hi Luoshguang, thanx for the incredible work. The GPU based baking is very efficiant and heklps me a lot.

One question i have: At the moment i dont get baked shadows from translucent material (on a static object) from a static skylight (hdri) with gpu baking. Only if I inlcude a direction light, its possible for me to generate translucent shadows from these kind of materials. Without directional light, the objects only (!) recieve shadows, but dont cast shadows.

What Im doing wrong or is this a general issue?

thank you and keep up the good work

There’s known limitation with GPULightmass’s ray tracer about translucent (GI) shadows. If this becomes popular I may consider adding an alternative path for it, but definitely comes at a not-so-small perf impact.
