Realtime Dynamic GI + Reflections + AO + Emissive - AHR

Same as before. Working on the 3D textures. Progress is a bit slower than expected, as I underestimated the complexity of the exam i have next friday. Need to study more.
In any case, was playing with an idea for AHR. Was thinking that it’s not really difficult to grab the code I use to voxelize, modify it and trace on each pixel, storing that on a texture. What’s the point of ? Baking. should really speedup the workflow, think that with something like 10 seconds it should have more than enough time to achieve a good quality (can put true multiple bounces on that time frame), and it would be a gigantic speedup for the lighting pipeline. Another idea I have, related to that, is to instead of storing it on a texture, as that requires UV wrapping, create a voxel octree, and store the irradiance there.
Don’t get over-exited though, is just an idea, let’s put it along GI for particles in the “posible stuff to implement” box

Baking. Huh. Now that I think about it, using high sample counts on a realtime method would be a really, really fast way to bake lighting. When I first started using unreal, I baked all my lighting. The build times killed me though, so I downloaded VXGI and used it, but the performance killed me. Right now my technique involves very low amounts of LPV GI and some crafty compositing, but if you could make light baking faster, that alone would make your solution by far the best one. Funny, I found thread because I was fed up with baking lights, and now I’m excited for it!
