Overview
Summary
Lightmapping is the process of pre-calculating the brightness of surfaces in the Scene. It stores the information it calculates in a chart or lightmap for later use. Lightmaps allow you to add global illumination, shadows, and ambient lighting at a relatively low computational cost. In this tutorial, we’ll get to know the lightmapping settings.
